Dusty

At an incredible 19 years of age, beautiful Dusty has become the oldest cat ever surrendered to Ninth Life Foundation!

Dusty's world changed when her beloved owner, who she had been with since she was 8 months old, moved into aged care. Her owner's daughter lovingly took Dusty into her home, but sadly, despite trying everything, her two resident cats simply wouldn't accept Dusty. With a heavy heart, the difficult decision was made to find somewhere Dusty could live out her golden years in peace.

Dusty went straight into the loving home of one of our wonderful foster carers, where she has been an absolute delight!

She has the most beautiful, calm, gentle temperament and absolutely adores human company. She'll come over asking for pats, sometimes gently reaching out her little paw to let you know she'd like some attention. And the moment you touch her, her purr motor starts!

Dusty is incredibly easygoing and loves nothing more than curling up beside you on the couch or snoozing in her cosy bed by the window. She's still remarkably sprightly for her age, happily jumping up onto the couch and windowsill to watch the world go by.

Despite being 19, Dusty has no known health issues and is a happy, contented little lady with so much love to give.

Dusty would make the most wonderful companion for someone retired or who spends plenty of time at home. She's also good with children and dogs and could potentially live with a relaxed, cat-friendly feline companion, given slow and careful introductions.

At 19, Dusty’s wishes are simple - a warm, loving home, plenty of pats and affection, a cosy spot to curl up, and someone to cherish her and make every one of her remaining golden years truly special.

If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle, affectionate, quiet, relaxed senior companion, Dusty is the one for you.
