All about GUS GUS

GUS GUS is a 1 year old male Domestic Shorthair/Mix cat who weighs 11 pounds and has been with us for 19 days.

Meet the adorable Gus Gus! He is a remarkable 1-year-old Domestic Shorthair who came to us just as the New Year started after being found by a good Samaritan in the middle of a busy street, hit by a car. When he arrived, our medical team immediately jumped into action and discovered he had severe nerve damage to his front leg, leaving him unable to use it. His face and eyes were also extremely swollen and red.

Gus Gus had already been through so much before we met him, so much so that our team initially believed he would need an amputation. However, thanks to the dedicated staff in our Leeu Naylor Medical Building and the help of medication, physical rehabilitation, and acupuncture, Gus Gus has made miraculous progress! His eyes have completely healed, and he has slowly begun using his front leg again!

Now Gus Gus is ready to spend the rest of his recovery in a safe, loving home that can provide him with comfort and stability. He is a sweet and loving cat who more than anything wants to be someone's whole world. His ideal family is going to be prepared to be slow and patient with him as he recovers from such a traumatic injury. But with time and lots of love Gus Gus will be an amazing addition to any family! Come meet him today, he's sure to touch your heart just as he has touched ours at the San Antonio Humane Society.
