About

Meet Dustin

Dustin is quite possibly our most loving and affectionate cat. He is definitely a favorite among all the volunteers! Dustin showed up at our shelter parking lot one day and introduced himself to anyone walking by. The volunteers could not help but be concerned - you could feel almost every bone in his body. He was so emaciated but also so beautiful and sweet! He would let us pick him up and hold him like a baby, get knots out of his beautiful long fur. He got along well with other cats. To the relief of his fans, space became available and Dustin was brought inside, tested, and vaccinated. We were sad to learn that he is positive for Feline Leukemia. It is not Leukemia like humans have, but it is contagious and can be passed to other cats through saliva or body fluids - grooming, fighting, sharing dishes, litterboxes... So, unfortunately, due to his Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) diagnosis, Dustin must be the only resident cat or have FeLV housemate(s). Right now he is living in his bachelor pad - alone. He went from 8 lbs to 13 lbs and has been vet-checked for good health. He has the health care and food he needs as well as all the volunteers' love. But a great cat like Dustin needs more! Dustin needs his very own family! We have faith that there is a great home out there for this handsome grey tabby with eyes that look into your soul and some real snuggle skills. However much love you give Dustin, he (and we) promise that he will give ten-fold in return!
