Meet Dusty Rose!
She is a 2 year old dilute female tortie and a total trooper. Dusty arrived to us in January of 2025 after her owner passed away. Due to an undiagnosed/misdiagnosed ear polyp, she has what appears to be a permanent head tilt, even after surgery at Purdue University to remove the giant polyp. Now that we know she's not experiencing discomfort, her head tilt (from the aforementioned polyp) is totally adorable . Before the surgery, she had the tiniest, barely audible meow. She has found her voice post surgery!
Dusty needs to go home with experienced cat people. She does not like to be picked up nor does she like to be held, so no young children. She has learned to accept petting, but she lets you know when she's had enough. She does demand affection, but again, on her terms. At times, she'll come up on your lap, but even then, she's very busy doing her own thing. She would likely do best as an only cat as she hasn’t bonded to any other cats in her foster home, however she could potentially do well with a docile, chill cat. She loves to meet new people!
