Rusty - AKA Rustoleum's Story

Meet Rusty (short for Rustoleum!) — The Orangiest Orange Cat on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and Quite Possibly the CEO of Mischief! ?<br/><br/>Rusty is a 4-year-old orange-and-white tabby who’s basically the feline version of a sassy boss. Don’t let the “one brain cell” stereotype fool you—this guy is sharp as a tack. He figured out the litter robot faster than most humans figure out their smartphones, and he’s got a clear agenda: get all the attention and never leave your cup unattended.<br/><br/>Speaking of cups, Rusty is a certified drink thief. Water? Ice water? Wine? If it’s yours and it’s unattended, it’s his now—bonus points if he can knock it over afterward, just to make sure you know who’s really in charge. When he’s not orchestrating beverage heists, he’s demanding cuddles like a polite dictator, complete with a gentle nip if you dare to ignore his love requests. His purr is so loud, it could probably power a small city.<br/><br/>Rusty loves hanging out on the arm of the couch, splooted out like a furry little loaf, watching the world go by through his favorite window like the orange king he is. He gets along well with submissive cats who he can push around, but also snuggle with, and even chill, cat-friendly dogs, though when it comes to playtime, it’s strictly feline-only. His favorite game? Tag. And yes, he’s always “it.”<br/>If you think vet visits are a nightmare, think again. Rusty treats the vet like a celebrity meet-and-greet and is absolutely fascinated by the stethoscope. Who knew a cat could have such a thing for medical gadgets?<br/><br/>But don’t let his charm fool you completely—Rusty has his grumpy orange tabby moments. He’ll swat you (gently, but firmly) to say either “Love me now!” or “Back off, human!” So, a home with older kids who understand cat boundaries is ideal.<br/>And here’s the kicker—Rusty will meet you at the door every day like a furry little bouncer, making sure you know you’re his favorite human (don’t let it go to your head).<br/><br/>If you’re ready for a smart, sassy, lovable, and occasionally mischievous orange whirlwind who’ll keep life interesting (and your drinks on edge), Rusty’s your guy!<br/><br/>If interested in meeting Rusty, please submit an application here: https://fjcasp.wufoo.com/forms/adoption-application/

Adoption Fee: $80–$150 Vet References Required We require that all potential adopters provide veterinary references. This allows us to confirm that any current or past pets have been kept up to date on vaccinations, preventatives, and are spayed/neutered. Most veterinary offices are familiar with this request. Our goal is to ensure that our animals are placed in homes where they will remain safe, healthy, and properly cared for. Long-Term Commitment Adopting a pet is a serious, long-term commitment. We want all potential adopters to understand their responsibilities and be prepared to care for an animal for its lifetime. Home Requirements To provide a safe environment, we require that adopters provide: - Proper shelter for the animal - Understanding of how to introduce a new pet to children and existing animals -Commitment to keeping the animal as an indoor pet Adoption Approval All adoptions must be finalized and approved by the FJCASP Board. This ensures oversight by experienced individuals who can confirm that all parties understand their responsibilities and that the animal’s welfare is prioritized. Adopter Responsibilities It is part of our adoption agreement that all medical treatments, veterinary costs, preventatives, food, and shelter are the sole responsibility of the adopter. Our goal is to place each animal in a loving, safe, and permanent home, and these guidelines help us ensure that every adoption is successful for both the pet and the adopter.
