gus’ story

When his senior human moved into a care home in Sydney, Cape Breton, sweet Gus was in need of a second forever home. While his human’s granddaughter had always promised her grandmother she would care for Gus when the time came, she now had a two-year-old baby who inherited her husband’s allergy to cats. That’s when she told her grandmother she would find the best home for Gus and contacted My Grandfather’s Cat.

She began working with volunteer, Vivian, to write Gus’ profile and send it out to our community. As it was summer and they were located in a rural community, there was a bit of worry that we might not receive applications, but that wasn’t the case. After chatting with many families who applied, she chose a couple who drove all the way from New Brunswick to give Gus a second forever home. Gus has already settled in and is now part of their family.
