Adorable Gus was a failed experiment in fostering: his mom originally took him in temporarily as a tiny baby, but when FFGW found him a home, foster mom discovered she was Mommy and adopted Gus herself. (Brother Murray, also available for adoption, joined the family when Gus was about 6.) Gus is shy of strangers, but once he gets used to someone new, he is a very affectionate boy. He likes to be brushed, and despite his very large size (and need for a vet-supervised reducing plan), in very good health according to a recent head –to-toe check up. Gus has an endearing, tiny meow, which can't help but bring a smile to your face when you hear it coming out of such a large boy!  Gus and Murray don’t have to be adopted together.

UPDATE FROM GUS, MAY 15, 2016: Well, my foster mom and I had a talk and decided that we would make it official. I adopted her. And she adopted me. Love, Gus
