Meet Dusty – a goofy, cuddly, and deeply loving orange cat. He’s 3 years old and a Domestic Short Hair. Dusty is a very healthy, playful, sweet boy who can get overwhelmed or anxious sometimes. He does best with structure, a calm environment, and someone who knows how to read and respect cat body language. He’s very affectionate, genuinely hilarious, and full of personality. Dusty is also litter box trained and very clean.

He lives for treats of any flavor and enjoys catnip. He loves to chase bugs and toys, and will knock over anything you leave nearby like a little goblin when he wants attention. Dusty also likes cozy chin scratches. His favorite way to bond is through play, but once he’s all tuckered out, he’ll melt into you for hours of cuddles.

Dusty is not just sweet – he’s sensitive. After his person had some major life changes he went from a five person two cat house to a one bedroom apartment for nearly a year, and spent a lot of time isolated and bored. Ever since, he struggles with unpredictable aggression, especially when startled or overstimulated. It doesn’t happen constantly, but it’s real, and it’s part of why we’re looking for a particular kind of home that understands what he’s been through, and what he still needs.

To learn more about Dusty, please visit his listing on the Bloomington Animal Shelter’s website.
