My story

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

Dustin, is a 2 to 3-year-old cat aprox, showed up unexpectedly at my sister house, he is a good boy, very sweet, and seems to have been an indoor cat before becoming homeless on the streets. Unfortunately, my sister already has two elderly cats, so she can keep Dustin inside. This leaves him vulnerable to attacks from feral cats, dogs, and other dangers.

Before his surgery, Dustin was attacked by another cat, resulting in several wounds, scratches, and bites. He also has two puncture wounds, which led both me and the vets to believe a dog may have attacked him while he was living on the streets.

On Monday, October 21, Dustin was neutered at the Spay Neuter Society, and while his tests came back FLV-negative, he tested positive for FIV, meaning he will need special care. Unfortunately, I can not take care of him because Im currently staying at my sister s house, and she was initially reluctant to let him in. However, I convinced her to let Dustin stay for a week during his recovery.
