Oh, dear friends, let’s talk about our captivating Ludo! This remarkable little soul is truly one of a kind. Surrendered when his owner moved into a care facility, Ludo has faced quite the journey. Imagine that—spending nearly two years alongside an owner who couldn’t always be there, leaving Ludo in the care of a friend. When he first arrived at our rescue, let me tell you, he was NOT having it! 😾 With a coat so matted it looked like he’d been through a whole adventure—and not the fun kind—Ludo was hissing, swatting, and pretending to be a fierce little tiger! 🐅 A gentle sedation allowed us to tackle the mat situation, and during that time, we also had to remove some rather rotten teeth. With all that pain behind him, it was as if a light bulb turned on! Suddenly, Ludo became a much friendlier fellow! 🙌 Now, let’s be honest: Ludo is still figuring out this whole "cat" thing. He enjoys some affectionate petting—but only when he says so! 🤔 Cheek scratches and neck rubs? Yes, please! But get it wrong, and you might just get an adorably grumpy hiss. It’s almost like Ludo has forgotten how to embrace the love he deserves. With 13 vibrant years under his belt, he’s front paw declawed but doesn’t seem to let it bother him much. Of course, he still has his moments of sass. Sometimes he’ll whip his head around like he’s plotting a little nibble if petting goes rogue. But don't worry; he’s never actually bitten anyone. You can sense he’s still adjusting, perhaps from all those aches of the past. Grumpy? Yes! And honestly, with a backstory like his, who wouldn’t be? But this big-hearted fellow still deserves a new chance to discover the love of a forever home. 🏡 Though Ludo has never lived with other cats, right now, he’s navigating life with 30 of them! Quite the social experiment, if you ask me! He hasn’t had experience with kids or dogs yet either. One thing's for sure: Ludo will need some grooming when his luscious fur grows back. It’s going to be quite the transformation, so brace yourselves! Ludo is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and he has tested negative for FIV/FeLV and heartworm disease.
