About Rusty
Rusty is a gentle soul who has had a rough start to life and is learning to trust the world around him. While he may take time to settle into new environments, Rusty is full of potential and waiting for the right people to help him blossom.
This handsome boy is very chirpy when he wants attention. When it comes to touch, Rusty is still conflicted and figuring out how to feel safe with hands-on affection. He'll need cat-savvy adopters who understand feline body language and can help build his confidence through positive, respectful interactions at his pace.
Rusty is FIV+, so he must be kept indoors only for his safety and health. He should be the only cat in the home unless you have other FIV+ cats, in which case, a slow and careful introduction may be possible. He would thrive in a calm, stable home with adults or older teens who can provide a peaceful environment and lots of patience.
If you believe every cat deserves a second chance, and you're ready to help Rusty write a new chapter in his life, he might just be your perfect match. 🧡
Adoption details
Our adoption process is designed to match you with the right pet, the first time. Our team are experts at rehoming animals who have specific needs that match your lifestyle, to ensure every adoption placement will last a lifetime.
At our Peninsula site, adoption hours are 12pm – 4pm. You are welcome to attend our reception office without an appointment to begin our adoption process during adoption hours.
The adoption areas are not free to walk through, and you will need to chat with our staff to confirm that a potential adoption is a good match.
Once the adoption has been discussed, a staff member will facilitate a walk-through of the adoption areas or have an animal brought to you in a greeting area.
For horse, livestock or poultry enquiries please email horsesandlivestock@rspcavic.org.au
