About Rusty

Rusty is a gentle soul who has had a rough start to life and is learning to trust the world around him. While he may take time to settle into new environments, Rusty is full of potential and waiting for the right people to help him blossom.This handsome boy is very chirpy when he wants attention. When it comes to touch, Rusty is still conflicted and figuring out how to feel safe with hands-on affection. He'll need cat-savvy adopters who understand feline body language and can help build his confidence through positive, respectful interactions at his pace.Rusty is FIV+, so he must be kept indoors only for his safety and health. He should be the only cat in the home unless you have other FIV+ cats, in which case, a slow and careful introduction may be possible. He would thrive in a calm, stable home with adults or older teens who can provide a peaceful environment and lots of patience. If you believe every cat deserves a second chance, and you're ready to help Rusty write a new chapter in his life, he might just be your perfect match.
