Meet Gus

Meet Gus, the magnificent orange tabby with a heart as golden as his fur! Gus's journey to find his forever home has been nothing short of an adventure. After spending nearly two years braving the wild behind a shop, this resilient feline warrior faced his fair share of challenges, sporting battle scars that tell tales of his courageous past. But don't let his tough exterior fool you—beneath those scars lies a heart of pure gold. Thanks to the kindness of some wonderful souls, Gus found his way to Sheltering Hands, Inc., where he received the care and love he truly deserved. What they discovered during his stay was nothing short of remarkable: Gus is not just a survivor, but a gentle giant with a heart of pure love. But what Gus truly longs for is a forever home to call his own—a place where he can trade in his hard, cold past for a soft bed, a full belly, and endless cuddles. He dreams of lazy afternoons spent basking in the sunbeams streaming through the window, and cozy nights curled up in the arms of his beloved human. So, if you're ready to open your heart and home to a furry friend who promises to fill your days with love, laughter, and endless purrs, then Gus is the cat for you! Come meet this sweet soul and discover the joy of welcoming a gentle giant into your life. Trust us, you won't regret it! To schedule a meet/greet with this pawsome kitty, we recommend that you complete a Pre-Adoption Application which is available here:   https://www.shelteringhands.org/adoptionapplication.  For additional information, email our Adoptions Team at [email protected].  Once applications are approved the Adoptions Team will coordinate the best way for you to get your new furry family member and bring them home.
