AVAILABLE FOR: Adoption BORN: April 2023 SEX: Male BREED: DSH MARL ARRIVAL: Stray BACKGROUND: Meet Rusty! This big orange guy has a soft, affectionate side just waiting to shine. Rusty spent some time hanging around a tow yard as a stray, and while he can be a little shy at first, it doesn’t take much to win him over. Once he realizes he’s getting attention, he absolutely melts for pets and scratches and will happily soak up every bit of it. He has a gentle, sweet personality and is easy to spend time with once he’s comfortable. In a home, Rusty will likely do best with a little patience at first, but he quickly shows how much he enjoys affection and being around people. He’s the kind of cat who becomes more and more loving as he settles in. If you’re looking for a friendly, affectionate cat with a softer, shy side, Rusty is ready to meet you. MEDICAL NEEDS: Rusty is FIV+, meaning he has Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, which affects the immune system, but many FIV+ cats live long, healthy lives with routine care
