Rustee spent several years outdoors before finding his way to safety at ASHA, thanks to caretakers who wanted better for him. Adjusting to being indoors has made Rustee understandably shy in his new environment. He’s a sturdy tom with the classic big-jowled look, estimated to be around 5 years old. Because he’s still getting used to people and the inside world, Rustee needs a patient person who will give him the time and space to come out of his shell. He isn’t suited for homes with children at this time due to his nervous nature. A quiet, stable home is where Rustee is most likely to relax and thrive.
