    Rusty

    Rusty was found by my boss as she was heading to work. She was thrown out in a box with her sister, and a little puppy. Sadly, her sister and the puppy didn’t make it. Rusty is a little lover, and is always ready to play.

    What a sweetie. I’m sorry about your sister and pup friend.

    Don’t worry about those ears, you’ll grow into them. Priceless. The little black on your nose is cute.

    My bfs cat has a spot on his nose like that. I love it. It adds so much character to their faces with just a little teeny spot. She’s adorable and a little model too, I love her tiny pose for the camera. Also KITTEN EARS!!!!!! *munches* so adorable!!

    When will people realize that pets are not trash? It sounds like they were abused. Rusty, I’m glad your happy and you can forgive people for what a few did to your furry family. You’re so adorable. I’d love to play with you. It sounds like you’re going to have a good life after a horrible start.

    I second that. I am sorry your sister and the puppy didn’t make it. God bless the person who saved you and giving you a “furrever” home. You are beautiful and deserve so much. Hugs and purrs to you.

    Rusty is such a beautiful girl. I’ll never understand the cruelty of people who throw innocent, sweet animals in the trash. It’s such an ugly part of society. Thank you so much for saving this little darlin’! You’re an Angel! Headbonks and Sandpaper kisses to Rusty! :)

    Another precious calico baby. Those eyes and ears are too cute, sandpaper kisses and headbonks to Rusty! I’m so sorry her sister and the puppy didn’t make it. Hope someone does the same thing to whoever threw these babies away; that’s the least they deserve!!

    Oh Rusty what a sweetheart. You like my Janus tossed out like the trash. I have started a profile for my resuced baby just need to get the photos on there. He was dumped at the end of my driveway along with his 2 sisters all were very sick. The girls didnt make it but the boy (Janus) is now about 8 months old and was just to the vet for neutering which he was none to happy about. But the vet techs at the vets were marveled at how much he has grown and how big he has gotten.

    Rusty’s name is perfect for him! What a lucky baby! And East Texas is the most beautify place on earth. Ever heard of the community of Eylau outside Texarkana? That’s where we’re from originally.

    Animal abuse stories make me livid - so furious at whatever @#$%?&* threw away the wee puppy and kittens.

    Rusty is adorable - lisa, Rusty is a she-cat; calicos almost always are.

    Just an update for all that have posted comments. Little Rusty will be going to her forever home in about a week where she will have two big brothers to chase around the house, and a new daddy that will spoil her even more than I have

    You know what………If I didn’t have to collect a paycheck every week, I would sure love to find these idiot people who abuse helpless animals like little Rusty and make them suffer the way they make these poor animals suffer. It is only a coward who could do something like this since these babies have no voices.
    All I can say is thank you so much for rescuing this precious little baby. I am sorry his two friends did not find such a wonderful life with a loving and caring family.
