Meet Kloof SPCA’s oldest resident – Benji the tortoise
Benji is estimated to be about 80 years old.
KLOOF and Highway SPCA’s oldest resident animal, Benji the Tortoise, was brought in as a stray in 2003 and weighed in at a mere 13kgs.
Benji, who is estimated to be about 80 years old, now weighs 18kgs.
The Kloof and Highway SPCA’s manager, Barbara Patrick said Benji loves to eat and is lucky as he receives a meal of fresh greens, fruit and vegetables, 365 days a year.
“Our special volunteer and tortoise lover, Sally Bennett is Benji’s best friend and carer,” said Patrick.
She highlighted that Benji has had a very long and happy life.
“We would like to thank our Kennel Sponsorship family who have committed to a monthly kennel sponsorship fee and to everyone who sponsors our resident animals,” she said.
