Buster had a tough start—left behind in an apartment, he arrived at animal control too shut down to even eat, ending up in emergency care just to make it through the first hurdles. But against every odd, Buster bounced back. Now, this three-year-old cat has found his footing and his sass. Buster's playful side shows in everything he does: he’ll 'redecorate' his water bowl, hand out nose kisses, and launch a headbutt when you’ve earned his trust. He gives a lot, but asks for a lot too—scratching posts (he loves sturdy ones), a home where he’s the only cat, and someone experienced in reading feline moods. He can get overstimulated and might swat or bite if you ignore his signals, so he isn’t right for first-timers. Loud homes will stress him, so he’s searching for a quieter space that helps him feel safe. He may warm up to a laid-back dog but has no interest in sharing with other cats. His resilience stands out, and with patient, cat-savvy adopters, he’ll keep showing his affection, humor, and hard-earned trust. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
