Are you looking for a sweet friend? Rudy, born in April 2010, is a shorthaired domestic adult male feline currently located at the North Toronto Cat Rescue in Ontario, Canada. Rudy does have special needs, so he is looking for the right human to go home with.
Rudy was found - abandoned - in the Richmond Hill area. "He was in poor shape, was very beat up, tattered and worn," the shelter wrote on Petfinder. "He was taken to the vet and received (medical) attention for the usual issues a cat faces when living on the streets. On his road to recovery, Rudy was found to be front declawed and tested positive for F.I.V. - Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. He is now otherwise healthy - a friendly, happy go lucky guy who is just happy to safe! Rudy has a heart of gold with a gentle, sweet and loving nature (and) just wants to be loved! He is excellent with other cats and (he) would make a wonderful companion to anyone who willing to show him love."
If you are interested in giving a home to Rudy, but have other cats at home, talk to your veterinarian first. Your vet could run a blood test to check your cat's immunity to F.I.V.
