Selfies by Rusty

Meet our handsome, friendly, and adoptable pal Rusty. As you can see, this gentle giant really knows his way around a selfie!

 
Rusty, who is about 3 1/2, came to PAWS after being found as a stray who had been outside for quite some time. He's super friendly, so we are fairly certain he had a human family at some point. This sweet and wonderful mancat loves humans, gets along well with other nice kitties, and is neutered and current on his vaccinations. Rusty is so ready to find his happily ever after.  Could it be with you?

Rusty has tested positive for FIV, but it's important to remember this does not mean he can't live a long and happy life! According to Best Friends Animal Society, "FIV-positive cats can live normal lives, both in quality and duration. They just need to be monitored for infections and dental issues. But if they’re well cared for, they can be healthy, happy, wonderful pets." FIV cannot be passed to other cats through casual contact, or by sharing food, water, or a litter box. Nor can it be passed to people or other pet species.

It's Sunday, which means we're hopping along in the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop, hosted by our pals at The Cat On My Head. Be sure to check it out to see who else is hopping along (or to join in on the fun)!

DUMPED? A STRAY? Good grief, what a shameful state of affairs. This looks the most marvellous and wonderful cat. How on earth could anyone get rid of this sweetheart. Shame on them and I hope they feel terrible for their evil deed.

I do hope people will see beyond the FIV. This guy has so much love to give, you can see it in him.
PAWS has wonderful visitors who understand life as well as sentient beings, a caring family and home will come, I am sure.
