About Gus

Gus is a long-haired brown tabby who recently got his summer trim, but you can usually count on him for that luxurious long coat. He and his brother Ash are a bonded pair and want to find a quiet, loving place together after a tough period of change. Gus tends to hang back and scope things out before jumping in, but once he’s settled, he’s all about head butts and lap time—he thrives on affection. Both guys are easygoing, mellow cats who want a calm home, preferably without too much commotion. They’ve been around other cats and cat-friendly kids and do well in that company. Gus and Ash are neutered, vaccinated, combo-tested, and microchipped for life, so you’re set on the paperwork side. If you value downtime and quiet companionship, these two bring it in spades.
