Swipe right on Gus!
If Gus could write a dating profile, his tagline would be "Looking for love and ready to settle down." He would also like you to know that he is a mature gentleman who believes in romance. Gus recently became a "health nut" to shed a few pounds and now he enjoys staying active, whether it be a morning zoomies session or playing with crinkle toys, and, if he's feeling frisky, attacking a catnip kick-a-roo. He hopes that you're into PDA, because he has a big heart and loves to cuddle. He also enjoys long naps and chin scratches.
