Patch Pet: Meet Rusty

His name is Rusty. It fits, doesn’t it?

You can easily win the heart of this friendly, 9-year-old orange tabby by swinging his favorite toy -- a simple piece of string. But please keep the sweeper away! Vacuum cleaners scare him. 

Rusty enjoys attention without being needy and can be a bit chatty at times. You can tell by his mellow face he’s calm, and he will let you lift and embrace him. Give him a scratch, and he might return the favor with a slightly freckled smile. With time, he can warm up to the idea of living with other cats.

Rusty’s former owner moved to an assisted-living home where she was unable to keep the slightly timid kitty. He’s used to human companionship and will make a loyal pet for anyone who isn’t looking for a high-energy, high maintenance pet.
 
June is national Adopt a Cat Month, and this year, Animal Friends wants to see no more catless homes. So from June 1-30, Animal Friends is waiving its requested adoption donation for all cats age 2 and older.

The medical staff has thoroughly examined each of the shelter's cats, and all are current on appropriate vaccinations,  have been FIV and FeLeuk tested and spayed or neutered. Each of the cats is "microchipped," or implanted with a small identification chip that can help to get the animal back home should it get lost.

Visit all the adoptable cats, dogs and rabbits at Animal Friends, 562 Camp Horne Road, Ohio Township, or call 412-847-7002. Rusty will be waiting to meet you.
