Gus
Young Male
Adopted 2/2009
Gus was found living in an abandoned building with his two littermates. They were semi-feral, and all three had terrible eye infections. Unfortunately for Gus, his eye problem was the result of a genetic deformity that causes his eyelids to grow inward. This condition left little Gus in extreme pain. After his rescue by a City Kitties volunteer, he spent several weeks at the vet, where a dedicated vet tech spent many hours socializing him. He received treatment for his eyes, and his personality changed dramatically. No longer scared or in pain, Gus became a very friendly little guy! Gus spent several months in foster care before finally finding his forever home. He shares his home with a loving mom and several cat siblings.
About City Kitties' Veterinary Care: We provide high quality veterinary care for our foster cats and kittens. Each animal is spayed/neutered, tested for FIV and feline leukemia, and receives age-appropriate vaccinations (FVRCP and rabies), and flea/parasite treatment as needed. Since they live in foster homes, you can see our adoptable animals in a familiar, stress-free environment, and their foster parents can tell you all about their personalities. If you have questions a week, a month, or even a year after adoption, we're available for guidance and support.
How to Adopt from City Kitties: Our adoptable animals are housed in private foster homes. The first step in meeting an adoptable animal is to fill out an adoption application. To ensure a lifelong match between you and your new pet, our adoption process involves an application, reference check, and a visit to your home at the time of adoption. Our adoption fee is $85 to help subsidize the cost of veterinary care. You can read more about the adoption process and fill out an application on our website, www.citykitties.org.
