My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Rusty is a neutered male orange tabby, born on September 17, 2023. He is a Love Bug - total sweetheart! Always head butting, purring, making biscuits. LOVES people…and one cat, his friend Buttons. Otherwise…he’s meaner than a junkyard dog with other cats. Must be only cats in the home. Rusty loves laps, pets, and play. He is Special Needs. He had a rough start in life. Suffering from Stomatitis, an autoimmune disease that attacks the gums, it can hurt to eat. He is doing much better now that almost all his teeth were pulled. Fingers crossed, he is eating wet and dry food well. Rusty does need a cat dad or cat mom who understands autoimmune issues can sometimes flare up - and he may need a dose of steroids or antibiotics. He’s EZ to handle, pick up, trim nails, put in a carrier etc… a real people-pleasing love machine. Rusty and Buttons should be adopted together. Buttons and Rusty are a bonded pair. The adoption fee for Rusty is $5 (his foster mom is covering $20). This covers the cost of spay/neuter, PVR, Rabies, flea, tick, ear mite and worm treatment. To adopt, you need to first fill out an application. Go to:

More about this rescue

Rutherford County Humane Society is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that has been serving Rutherford County since 1979, with the mission to significantly improve the lives of unwanted and neglected animals, and to measurably decrease this number through our spay and neuter programs, volunteer foster homes, and outreach and education. We are an independent organization that works in collaboration with other area animal advocacy groups. All of our efforts depend on our passionately compassionate volunteers, and financial support from the community. We have made the decision to use our resources to continue promoting the number one solution to our pet overpopulation problem - and that is spay/neuter. Our mailing address is still PO Box 998, Rutherfordton, NC 28139. Our website (http://rutherfordcountyhumanesociety.org) is always current, and you can contact us through the web. You will receive a prompt reply. We have adoptable pets posted on the site. If you need to find a home for a pet, you may contact us to have your pet posted on our website.
