About me Hi, I'm Rusty. I spend my days quietly observing the world around me, often found curled up in a cozy corner. I'm a bit shy at first, but give me a little time, and I'll warm up to gentle touches and kind words. I enjoy the simple things, like a soft bed and a peaceful walk. I'm looking for someone who understands the value of quiet companionship and the beauty of taking things slow. If you're looking for a calm friend to share serene moments with, I might just be your perfect match. Not only do you get my unconditional love and a new BFF, it includes my neuter surgery, vaccinations, microchip, and even some cool coupons!
