Gus

Meet Gus: The Kitten Who Refused to Read the Prognosis. Gus would like to formally apologize for the brief period when we thought he might never walk normal again. It turns out he was simply being extremely dramatic. When Gus first arrived, his back legs weren't working properly. For a day or two, we weren't sure what the future held. Maybe he'd be paraplegic. Maybe he'd need lifelong accommodations. Maybe he'd spend his days rolling around in a tiny wheelchair looking impossibly adorable. Gus, apparently, had other plans. With some rest, some appropriate pharmaceuticals, and a little time, Gus made a complete recovery. His back legs came roaring back online and now he walks, runs, pounces, leaps, wrestles, and generally conducts himself like a perfectly normal kitten who has absolutely no intention of slowing down for anyone. And when he's not busy proving his legs work? Gus is an absolute sweetheart. He is a professional purrer. He specializes in enthusiastic head bonks, particularly when he believes those head bonks will result in someone scratching his chin and cheeks exactly the way he likes. Toss him a toy and he's ready to wrestle it like it owes him money. Gus is playful, affectionate, resilient, and just an all-around fantastic kitten. He went from "we have some serious concerns" to "please stop trying to launch yourself into space" in record time. Gus has officially recovered from his medical mystery. Unfortunately, there is currently no known cure for being ridiculously adorable. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.savehomelessanimals.org.
