My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Tested Negative for FIV and FeLV, DOB May 4, 2013.

Rusty has the characteristic cheeks of an intact male because he was neutered late in his life, but he's got a funny little meow sounding more like a kitten than such a big guy.

Handsome Rusty went from 0-100 after arriving in his foster home. He was hiding in a box when his foster parent picked him up, and then hid under the bed for a week.. but once they started brushing and patting him he started to purr and come out bit by bit. He's now a sweet cuddly boy who gets along well with his new foster sister and sleeps on the bed with his foster family. He's still a bit jumpy with sudden noise and movement, but he is loving indoor living and all the comforts of a home and family.

Rusty would be best with female feline siblings (he loves his foster sister - they give each other lots of head butts and sleep together), or in a single-cat family where he can shine.

Rusty was a street cat taken in by a Quebec animal agency. He had a neuter surgery that opened up and made him miserable, but once that was sorted out he was a new boy! His foster family shares: "While he was holed up under the bed with the annoying cone on his head, I promised him it would be so much better. He was going to go from a ragged street cat (who I'll bet lost most battles) to a prince. Now he gets it. Taking that cone off was a very happy experience for both of us. I think he was semi-feral and can't believe his luck now!". Adopt this handsome, sweet boy and make him your newest family member today!
