Benson Boone and Sombr, domestic short hair
Here's your chance to own a pair of celebrities! Benson Boone and Sombr are a couple of brothers looking to put down roots in a new home. These 8-month-old brothers look almost identical.
Benson Boone isn't a huge fan of crowds. He would need some space to decompress and make sure he feels safe. If adopted with his brother, Sombr can be there to support him through the entire transition.
These wonderful boys are still kittens and enjoy their playtime together with all types of toys. Benson and Sombr are both neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and house trained. They would make an excellent addition to any home!

Gina Crumbliss, the former President and CEO of the Chattanooga Area Food Bank, will succeed Pamela Irvine as Feeding Southwest Virginia’s new CEO, the food bank announced Wednesday.
Crumbliss was at the head of the Chattanooga Area Food Bank as it served 20 counties across Tennessee and Georgia, expanded food distribution and strengthened philanthropic support.Â
The board of directors selected her unanimously following a national search directed by a task force of the board, with support from nonprofit consulting firm Armstrong McGuire, according to a news release.
"I am honored to join Feeding Southwest Virginia and work alongside a team so dedicated to helping neighbors access the nutritious food they need," Crumbliss said in the release. "I look forward to learning from our staff and partners, getting to know the communities we serve, and building on the work Pam has led. Together, we can strengthen those relationships and help more families thrive."
Crumbliss will replace Irvine, who has served as president and CEO of Feeding Southwest Virginia since she founded it 45 years ago. Irvine is set to retire at the end of this year.
"I look forward to working with the new CEO and transferring 45 years of knowledge and some ‘what to do and not to do’ things," she said.
Crumbliss will hold responsibility for the organization’s executive leadership starting Sunday, according the press release.
"We are deeply grateful to Pam for 45 years of leadership and dedication to our neighbors and for building Feeding Southwest Virginia into the organization it is today," said Jim Pearman, board chair, in the press release. "We are confident in Gina’s ability to build on that legacy. Her food bank leadership experience and commitment to strong community partnerships will serve our region well, and she has the unanimous support of our Board as she leads this work forward."
