My story

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

What my friends at ACC say about me:


Gus tolerates attention and petting but appears fearful or stressed in the shelter. He may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.


I am looking for a home with a patient person.


I would do best in a home with only adult humans.


I have medical needs that staff will address with you when you meet me.



A volunteer writes: An outgoing and friendly, affectionate, window sill loving cat sounds pretty close to perfection to me and it's Gus. As it sometimes happens, the cat you may meet in the shelter is different from the one his previous guardians described. It's not for lack of trying on anyone's part, nor is it reflective of the cat he can be, but it does tell us that Gus is a beautifully dynamic boy who hasn't felt much like telling us about himself right now. I can't say I blame Gus as he's a senior who has been dealt a hand he couldn't have anticipated. Brought to the shelter due to having too many cats in the home, Gus has been learning about shelter life by trying to shy away from it to learn from observation. When we open his condo door, we know Gus looks like he wishes he could be anywhere else, but we'd love for you to give him a chance and bring him home.
