My story

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

Rusty — The Gentle Giant Who Deserves a Second Chance

Rusty once had a home of his own. Years ago, he was adopted and loved — or so he thought. But recently, this sweet senior boy was found scared and confused, surrendered to Peninsula Humane Society instead of being returned to us. After all he’s been through, he’s still gentle, trusting, and hopeful that someone will give him the forever home he’s always deserved.

Originally rescued from the streets of Fresno, Rusty has weathered a lot, yet his spirit remains soft. He’s a big, sweet, shy fluffer who loves to be near his person. Rusty will pace back and forth beside you for pets or his favorite daily combing session — his happy place. He purrs and gives head bonks, then curls up nearby once he’s had enough affection.

He’s not quite a lap cat, but he’s loving in his own quiet way. What he needs most now is patience, kindness, and a calm home where he can finally feel safe again.

Rusty is on a prescription diet for urinary tract health and appreciates a roomy litter box with high sides — small accommodations for a big-hearted boy.

Rusty has known what it feels like to be left behind. This time, he deserves a home that never lets him go.

Available for adoption in the San Francisco Bay Area.

More about this rescue

Every day adult and senior cats with treatable medical and behavioral conditions are euthanized. GIVE ME SHELTER's goal is to rescue these cats from certain death and place them into loving permanent homes.
GMS is a registered 501(c)3 organization and is dedicated to helping stop the overpopulation of unwanted and abandoned cats. We are a small group of dedicated volunteers who are committed to bettering the life of adult cats who no longer have a home to call their own. Every time you adopt from us, you allow us to save another cat that would have otherwise died. We receive new cats into our system almost every week. Our website is constantly being updated, so please check back often!
