Meet Rusty! (A13544972) Poor Rusty has had it rough. He came to the shelter as a stray because he was just wandering the streets. Then he met a great family that was going to adopt him, but they sadly never came back to pick him up.

Now poor Rusty has got a terrible kitty cold and his little nose is all red and sore from sneezing. He is so affectionate and greets everyone that comes in the isolation room with a meow and an outreached paw. Please share and help save this guy; he would even love a temporary foster home where he can recoup and get better.
