About Aiden

Aiden has weathered quite a journey. After losing his original person, he's spent a long while missing that deep bond, but with his foster family's support, he's finding new ground. Diagnosed with diabetes, Aiden now takes insulin shots twice a day—routine and food are key for him. Feed him on schedule and he's content; miss a meal, and he'll definitely let you know. He’s a big-hearted senior with a theatrical streak, thanks to his strong opinions about dinnertime. He craves petting and company, but does best in homes without young kids or frail elders, since he’ll get nippy if he’s feeling cranky. There’s room in his life for cat companions, but he hasn’t shared space with dogs yet. Give Aiden a stable home and a little patience, and he’ll return that trust with affection and a big character. His resilience shines through, and he's ready for a second act with someone who understands his quirks—and his appetite. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
