About Gustopher

Gustopher, or Gus for short, is a charming male cat between 3 to 5 years old. He has been neutered and is fully vaccinated, but he does have Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FiV+), which means he can only share a home with other FiV+ cats or thrive as a solo kitty. Once a feral cat, Gus has transformed into a loveable companion who relishes in pets, cuddles, and companionship. He is ready to settle down from his Tomcat days and embrace a cozy life filled with affection. Gus is housetrained and gets along wonderfully with children, making him an ideal family addition. If you’re looking for a friendly cat with lots of love to give, Gus might just be your perfect match. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
