About Dustin

Dustin, affectionately nicknamed Stetson, was discovered as a tiny two-week-old kitten in a parking lot. This gentle tuxedo boy has a calm demeanor that brings comfort to those around him. He loves curling up beside you and purring softly when you reach out to pet him. Raised in a foster home with energetic five-year-olds, Dustin is adaptable and enjoys their company. However, he also appreciates the quieter joys of hanging out with older kids who take their time for a cuddle. He’s sociable with his litter mates but seeks out cozy corners for his peaceful naps. Dustin is clever, excelling at puzzle feeders and treat games, showing off his intelligent side with a playful spirit. Whether it’s chasing toys or climbing to observe his surroundings, he maintains a gentle touch. He loves watching his foster family's Lab puppy and adores curling up next to their sweet senior Great Dane. Dustin is neutered, vaccinated, and ready for his forever home. He’s house trained and eager to be part of a loving family. If you're interested in adopting him, please complete an Adoption Profile online or in person at Bond County Humane Society.
