About Gus

What are you waiting for? Apply today! Meet Gus and Ash, two charming brothers in search of a loving home filled with warmth and affection. Both boys are 7 years old and, after sadly being separated by a divorce, are hoping to stay together as the best friends and tight-knit pair they are. Their sweet, affectionate personalities shine through as they happily curl up in your lap for a movie, nuzzle for cuddles, and even have a chat with you about their day. Gus, a long-haired brown tabby, enjoys scouting things out before going all in, but once comfortable, he becomes a loving head-butter seeking attention. Recently groomed for the summer, his coat is typically even longer and more luxurious. Ash, his short-haired gray tabby brother, is the extrovert of the duo—he’ll delight you with lively conversation about birdwatching, daily news, and, of course, mealtime reminders. Both boys are low-key, mellow, and thrive in a quiet, low-activity household. They’re comfortable with cat-friendly kids and do well with other cats. Each is neutered, fully vaccinated, tested negative for major feline diseases, and comes microchipped with lifetime registration already covered for you. If you’re interested in bonding with two affectionate house cats, you’ll also enjoy a special adoption discount when adopting them together. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
