This could be the start of something paw-some. Meet Pudge, a curious 3-year-old cat who’s made impressive progress since his days living on the street. While he remains shy, his resilience shines through—he’s litter trained, delights in playtime with his toys, and is deeply motivated by treats (they’re the key to his heart!). Pudge is still learning to trust human touch and can be timid around hands, but he bravely takes treats straight from your palm when approached with patience. A gentle voice, slow movements, and lots of understanding help his soft personality come out, revealing just how sweet he is at heart. The ideal home for Pudge is one with experience caring for semi-feral or under-socialized cats. He’s interested in other kitties and could thrive in a multi-cat household, gaining confidence from feline companions. With time, patience, and a calm environment, Pudge promises to become a devoted, affectionate companion who repays your kindness many times over. Pudge is neutered and has received his first round of FVRCP, FeLV, and Rabies vaccines. This is a courtesy post for a fellow rescuer through Grassroots Rescue. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
