Do-right and adopt Dudley!
If you are looking for a friendly, affectionate, playful companion who wants nothing more than to follow you around and settle down, all curled up on your lap, then look no further!
Dudley has Feline Leukemia, or FELV for short, so he would do best as a solo kitty in the home but he’d be perfectly happy as long as his person is around! He could potentially live with other double-tested FeLV+ cats, though hasn't met any while in foster care. Due to his FeLV, his immune system isn't the best, and so he developed an autoimmune condition called stomatitis some time back. The best long-term solution for stomatitis is to remove all of a cat's teeth, so Dudley's got no teeth left! After some recovery time, since stomatitis can take some time to calm back down in the body, Dudley seems to be feeling much better! To continue to keep his mouth comfortable, he's taking a steroid and "magic mouthwash," along with some Gabapentin- the latter of which goes in his food.
Dudley's a social butterfly who might be a smidge shy at first, but once he warms up, he loves to be around his people and may even sleep in bed with you! He's also got a fantastic "blep" leftover from having no teefs!
** This pet's adoption fee is waived and they'll go home with a $100 gift card to use towards cat supplies!
Age: ~8-9 years
