My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Swipe right on Gus!

If Gus could write a dating profile, his tagline would be “Looking for love and ready to settle down.” He would also like you to know that he is a mature gentleman who believes in romance. Gus recently became a “health nut” to shed a few pounds and now he enjoys staying active, whether it be a morning zoomies session or playing with crinkle toys, and, if he’s feeling frisky, attacking a catnip kick-a-roo. He hopes that you’re into PDA, because he has a big heart and loves to cuddle. He also enjoys long naps and chin scratches.

ABOUT GUS:
- In foster
- Senior, domestic shorthair (black), male
- This bachelor comes with a great character reference: his foster mom highly praises him and describes him as affectionate and charming.

- Gus is flirtatious and enjoys love and attention while purring contentedly.
- His signature move is to approach close, wrap paws around your arm, nuzzle, and give a head bump.
- He will comfort you with a reassuring head bump, even at night.
- He often relaxes on his foster mom`s desk during work hours and greets her at the door.
- Gus can experience occasional reactivity and may nip or hiss when overstimulated.
- His reactive behaviour has improved as he’s become more comfortable.
- His foster mom will provide insights into his body language and preferences for a smooth transition.
- Gus is the strong, silent type but vocal at mealtime.
- He enjoys company but also values independence.
- He prefers to make the first move in interactions.
- He dislikes loud noises and sudden movements, which can make him jumpy or reactive.
- Gus is neutered, house-trained, not declawed, microchipped, and has received core vaccinations.

GUS’ IDEAL HOME:
- A quiet home with an experienced cat owner and no small children or dogs.
- His previous relationship with a cat was a negative experience and he doesn’t want to get his heart broken again.
- The best possible scenario for Gus would be if he is the only pet in the home. He is currently on a special diet for improved gastro health.
