Meet Rusty, a strikingly handsome 5-year-old tuxedo cat who’s simply purr-fect! 🌟 This charming gentleman didn’t just stroll into your heart – he sashayed there, shining bright from another shelter that simply needed more space. And let me tell you, as soon as he arrived, he quickly claimed the title of the ‘Volunteer Favorite’! Every single morning, Rusty greets the staff with a delightful, melodious meow and those irresistibly adorable kitty eyes. 😻 It’s as if he knows just how to tug at the heartstrings! If you’re looking for affection - Rusty has it in spades! Every time you walk by, he’s ready to rub against your leg like it’s the best thing ever. And when the mood is just right? He’ll find his way to your lap for a cozy snuggle fest! But wait, give him his space, and you might just witness his playful side – a light tap or a nibble tells you it’s time to back off, and isn’t that just the cutest thing? 🐾 He doesn’t shy away from expressing his feelings, either! From basking in the warm sunlight to leaning into your hand for head scratches, Rusty knows how to soak up all the love in the room. ☀️💖 Now, there’s a little something you need to know about our handsome Rusty — he’s tested positive for FIV, the Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. But fear not! Many cats with FIV live long, healthy lives when kept indoors and given regular vet check-ups. And here's the good news: it’s not contagious to people or other pets! 🏥✨ Oh, and did I mention that thanks to a very generous donor, Rusty’s adoption fee is **fully sponsored**? 🙌💕 Rusty’s looking for his forever home, and if you’re lucky enough to have a heart for this affectionate fella, he could be yours! But remember, you must apply **through the Buddy App** to get started. Our process is first-come, best-match, and we can’t hold animals, so move fast! If Rusty doesn’t feel like the right fit upon meeting, no worries – our dedicated adoption counselors will help you find your perfect match! And don’t forget, all the family should come to meet your potential new best friend – it’s crucial for ensuring everyone hits it off when you finally get to take him home! ✨ If all goes well, same-day adoptions are totally encouraged! So, ready to fall in love? Don’t wait too long; apply to adopt this charming lad through the **Buddy App** today! 🐾💖
