Rudy Tudy survived what many kittens could not—he came in from the cold, battered but refusing to give up. Rudy's first weeks meant hunger, pain, and loss, as winter and illness took so many around him. Now, after treatment for an upper respiratory infection and plenty of warmth, he's a soft, spirited tabby with a medium coat who sleeps soundly every night. Rudy gets along with everyone—cats, the small dog in the house, and especially anyone with toys. He’ll chase toy mice, watch birds from the window, and enthusiastically take over office assistant duties. His tiny meow is charming, his love for screen time (YouTube Cat TV) is legendary, and his devotion to a cozy spot by your pillow is steady. Recovery wasn’t instant, and Rudy still sneezes on occasion—a reminder of those early hardships, but nothing contagious or concerning. He craves gentle companionship and deserves every treat his foster grants him. Rudy is fully vetted and house trained. He’s ready for a lifelong home where he’ll never have to worry about cold or hunger again. Rudy Tudy is being fostered in Charles City, IA. Adopt, foster, or try foster-to-adopt—he's open to any situation that ends in home and comfort. Indoor home only, no declawing. Let’s give Rudy the ending he’s fought for.
