My personality

Why I need a new home

Human health issues (e.g. allergies, sickness)

My story

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

Rusty came into my and my husbands life when my husband was ailing with terminal cancer. Rusty provided a lot of love to us both going through very difficult times and my life as a widower. As I have progressed into my 80s my health is now failing and I need to relocate to a Dallas-area memory care facility for both physical and mental needs that is unable to take pets. My son has exhausted all potential places that could let me take Rusty with me. All of my extended family has allergies or works as a long haul truck driver, gone for weeks at a time. Rusty and I have outlived all my friends in Sun City and have been too ill to make friends with my new neighbors for the past several years. So I have no one I know to adopt my only friend I have lived with for the past 8 years alone.

Rusty is large, about 12 lbs, and can handle himself outside but prefers to be inside most of the time. He loves to be on laps while watching TV and loves to snuggle. He is litter box trained.
