Bustelo

My story

My foster writes:Meet Bustelo - Your Quirky, Sweet, and Independent Companion!Bustelo is a handsome, affectionate, and sometimes goofy little man who loves to be near his people-on his own terms! While he's not the cuddliest cat, he enjoys being "one of the girls" and will happily lounge near you in common spaces. He's even started getting more affectionate, occasionally curling up next to your leg or joining you for bedtime snuggles (when he feels like it, of course!).Bustelo greets guests at the door, rubs against legs, and even headbutts strangers-he's got plenty of love to give! He adores gentle head scratches, especially in the morning, and purrs up a storm when he's feeling content. But like any distinguished gentleman, he values his personal space. He prefers a quiet home with adults or older teens who understand cat behavior, as he sometimes needs alone time to recharge.He's a well-mannered guy who may give a light nip or swat if overstimulated but has never used claws or broken skin. He simply appreciates people who respect his boundaries. His favorite hobbies? Chasing wand toys with feathers, batting around jingle balls, and getting just the right amount of head rubs!Bustelo was recently diagnosed with mild chronic kidney disease, so he'll need 1/4 teaspoon of Miralax with meals and a wet food diet. His ideal adopter will understand his needs, love him for his quirks, and enjoy his sweet, playful personality.If you're looking for a cat with personality, charm, and a soft spot for playtime and head rubs, Bustelo might just be your perfect match! 💛🐾A volunteer writes: Bustelo was sitting up front in his kennel, quiet and pensive, wondering what to make of the place where he'd landed less than a week ago. He remained quiet and thoughtful as I approached his kennel and opened his door. I wasn't sure I was welcome until, PLOP, down on his side he went, with his head angled upwards and toward me, and the sweetest goo-goo eyes told me he'd love it if I stayed awhile. I stroked his tabby cat cheeks and then offered him some treats, as any gracious guest would do. He stretched up onto his feet and sat in front of me, ignored the treats and instead dipped his forehead down for petting there. When I saw him looking up at me expectantly, I lowered my nose down to his for a nuzzle. I got, not just one, but two perfect noses kisses. How does a tabby cat make you fall hopelessly in love with him? That's how it's done. Come visit Bustelo at the Care Center and let him show you the love.
