Gus, the Cat of the Day
Name: Gus
Age: Two years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Maine Coon
Home: Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
 
   I have always found Maine Coons to be such beautiful and exotic looking animals. I've had a Jack Russell growing up and when I moved out of my house unfortunately, she was not allowed to come with me. She is still alive and well and lives with my sister, so I see her on daily. As you can imagine, going from a Jack Russell to no animal got very lonely and very quiet very fast - I needed an animal in my house to fill the void.

    I found this beautiful little boy at a local rescue and absolutely refused to leave the place without him. So What's his story? Gus is actually a pure bread Maine Coon, he came from registered breeders who are well known and very famous for their champion show cats. The neighbours noticed some things that were off with the cats, after calling animal control several cats were rescued. The living conditions that all these beautiful animals were living in was completely unbearable, disgusting and unimaginable. My little Gus and his brother were away from the rest, in a shed in the basement left to perish (for reasons unknown).

    Gus was only seven weeks old, luckily he was young enough to not have any serious health problems and his coat was quickly refurbished back to that beautiful long haired tabby coloured coat that makes Maine Coons so beautiful and unique.

    He had no trouble getting used to people and became the most cuddly, most affectionate cat that you could possibly dream of. He is afraid to be alone, he always needs to be close to someone or rubbing his beautiful little head up your leg, and never fails to give you rough kisses at any opportunity. He loves to play with laser lights, chases flies and squirrels out the window, and enjoys cuddling and playing with our other two cats Archie and Sophie.

    I don't know where his owners are and I don't care, but I do hope that somewhere they can read this because I would just like to say THANK YOU! Thank you for giving me my best friend and filling a void in my life that I didn't even know I had. I guess it's true what they say,Somebody's trash is Someone elses treasure.

    I couldn't be happier having this beautiful, loving, caring animal in my life and can't imagine my life without him. Thank you Gus for being you!
