Story
Meet the 11 year old spunky gentleman that is Gus! This adorable lovebug was brought to HSCC after his owner passed away. Gus is hoping to find a new furever home where he can regale his new owner(s) with stories of his wonder-filled nine lives. Gus is very social and loves to be around people. Morning cleaning staff will allow Gus to free roam throughout HSCC. Without fail, he will find humans to brush into before settling himself onto the shelter manager's chair or the warm computer tower. Although his eye is cloudy, he can still see and move around just fine, seeking out sadness and filling that dark hole with his kitty affections. Gus has a heart murmur and would do best in a calmer home. He would also prefer being the home's only cat (or at least having his own large, private space). Warning: Gus has been known to bat the snouts of curious canines who got too close. If you would like to give this charming guy and fun and loving home, come meet Gus! He will be in his favorite chair waiting to greet you. GUS IS A FREEDOM FRIENDS ELIGABLE PET! At the Humane Society, we deeply value and honor the service and sacrifice of our veterans. To show our appreciation, we are offering a special opportunity for verified veterans to adopt an animal at 50% off the adoption fee. This offer applies to all animals who have been in our shelter for 6 months or more, giving these wonderful pets a chance to find the loving homes they deserve, while also providing veterans with a loyal companion.

Story
Gucci will be three years old this March. He's very affectionate and vocal, he'll let you know when he walks into a room. He practically melts when you scratch his neck. His favorite toys are zipties, beads and tiny rocks. Give him a soft blanket and he'll make biscuits all across it. He does well with our small dogs but hasn't been introduced to any big dogs. Gucci does well with our elderly cat but not so well with our younger cats. He'd do so much better if he was in a home as an only cat or with just one other cat. Absolutely no female cats.
