He wears his heart on his sleeve. Or maybe it’s in his eyes. You can see if there, his hope for love.
Dudley originally came from a hoarding situation in the valley. We believe that he may have been bullied or pushed out by the other tom cats because he was so beat up, found hanging out around the neighbors house, and is easily bullied. He was infested with ear mites to the point that his ears developed hematomas that ruptured. There was so much pain and the ears became deformed. He got through that like he got through the fighting with other unaltered males. Life was hard.
And yet, Dudley ended up being a gentle, kind boy who just wants to live a peaceful life. He’s not a scaredy cat. But he’s cautious of hoping for too much. Expecting too much, like a loving family, a warm, clean home. A place where he can begin to heal his wounded soul and maybe even find joy. He’s not sure yet if that is in his future or being alone and unloved is his whole life. We promise him that there are lots of good things to come.
We think he’s maybe 4 years old. He’s a big boy. Very fluffy. Sometimes he seems sorrowful but when he begin to trust that you are kind, there is a spark of hope in his eyes.
He could live with another cat that is gentle and welcoming. He seems to have been the target of other aggressive cats in the past and he’s not a fighter. So he needs a gentle companion if there is another cat in the house. We don’t know how he would be with a dog.
He does love to step outside and feel that freedom of the natural world, so he will need a safe place to go outside that is his home, his quiet and secure home. Where he can walk around the yard and then when he’s ready, he can go back inside his nice home with his loving people and be contented. And be love and even be happy.
