Meet “Gus Gus”
🧡🐾 Gus Gus is looking for his forever indoor home! 🐾🧡
📍 Located in San Diego, but willing to transport to the purrfect forever indoor-only home! 🚗✈️
Meet Gus Gus — quite possibly the sweetest orange cat you’ll ever meet. 🧡
After everything he’s been through, all this boy wants is a warm bed 🛏️, a loving family ❤️, and someone to purr beside at night. His foster says he has been happily sleeping with her teenage son every night, soaking up the affection and enjoying the simple comfort of finally feeling safe. 🥹🧡
Gus Gus is the definition of a lap cat. He is calm, affectionate, gentle, and incredibly loving. He gets along well with other cats 🐱, has done great around quiet, cat-friendly dogs 🐶, and is wonderful with gentle children 👦👧. He’s the kind of cat who settles in beside you, leans into pets, and purrs his heart out.
This handsome boy is approximately 3 years old, neutered, vaccinated 💉, litter box trained 🚽, and ready for a family of his own. 🏡

🧡 Gus Gus is FIV positive, which sounds much scarier than it actually is. Cats with FIV who live indoors typically live normal, happy lifespans. FIV is not easily spread through casual contact, grooming, sharing food bowls, or simply living together. Just like human HIV, it takes deep bite wounds or mating to spread. Because Gus Gus is neutered and exceptionally mellow, he can often safely live with non-FIV-positive cats as well.
💊 No daily medications required!
About six weeks ago, Gus Gus came into our rescue after being mistakenly put back outside despite being an incredibly friendly, social cat. He wasn’t thriving on the streets (what cat does?) and was struggling with a severe flea allergy.
When we brought him in for a medical review, euthanasia was recommended because of his tipped ear and failure to thrive outdoors. Instead, he was given a chance.
And he’s spent the last six weeks showing everyone exactly who he is: a loving, grateful, gentle house cat who absolutely adores people. 🥹❤️
He did have an episode of pillow foot (pododermatitis) while living on the streets, which responded very well to a simple course of doxycycline and has since resolved. Our hope is that living safely indoors will help prevent future flare-ups, but he takes medication easily if it is ever needed again.
The biggest thing Gus Gus needs is what every cat deserves: a safe indoor home where he will never have to fend for himself again. 🏡❤️
He has great teeth 😁 (so no impending dental bills), a giant orange-cat personality 🧡, and so much love to give. We truly believe whoever adopts him is going to wonder how they ever lived without him.
🎉 Adoption fee waived to the perfect indoor-only home! 🎉
🙏 Please share and help us find this amazing boy the forever family he deserves. He has survived the streets, but what he really deserves is a family, a warm bed, and someone to love for the rest of his life. 🧡🐾
