Gus Has Copper Eyes, a Tuxedo & a Sense of Humor – Pet of the Week

Every Thursday morning at 7:15am on the Lite Rock Morning Show, the Humane Society of Ocean City brings in the new Lite Rock Pet of the Week.

If you are thinking about adding a pet to your family, please consider adopting from the Humane Society of Ocean City, a no-kill shelter recognized as one of the nation’s top ten animal shelters.

All of the animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and micro-chipped before adoption. All animals also receive an Alumni Card which entitles them to a 10% lifetime discount for veterinary services at the Humane Society of Ocean City clinic.

This week we met “Gus” the cat.

Here is some information on Gus from the Humane Society of Ocean City:

“Gus is a large, handsome black and white tuxedo cat with striking copper eyes. He is 2 years old and is good with dogs, cats, and children 12 and up. Younger children may be ok visit depending.Gus was surrendered when his
owner realized that she wasn't able to give him the time he deserved.

 

 

He's friendly, playful and quite comical but does have a scaredy cat side to him that comes out in unfamiliar situations. He resided in one room most of his life and will require some patience and understanding during the transition into his new home"
