Fudge

**Meet Fudge — The Sweetest Senior Gentleman With So Much Love to Give** 


Fudge is an incredibly friendly, loving boy who recently found himself back in the shelter **through no fault of his own**. At 11 years old, he has the heart of a kitten and the charm of a seasoned companion. Truly — you’d never guess his age by the way he greets every human with enthusiasm and affection.
This handsome buff sweetheart is a people‑lover through and through. He happily seeks attention from **everyone** — adults, kids, visitors, volunteers — if you have a hand to pet him, he’s your new best friend. He’s curious, social, and enjoys a cozy nap just like any classic cat.

**A note about his health:** 
Fudge was recently diagnosed with **hyperthyroidism**, a common and very manageable condition in older cats. Right now, he’s doing wonderfully on his **special prescription diet and medication**, which helps regulate his thyroid levels and keep him feeling good. He’ll simply need to stay on this to support his health — and he’s perfectly happy to eat it.

**Why Fudge is amazing:** 
- Extremely friendly, loving, and affectionate 
- Seeks attention from adults and kids alike 
- Curious, social, and enjoys exploring 
- Loves naps and cozy spots 
- Just turned 11, but acts much younger 
- Doing great on his special thyroid diet 

Fudge is ready for a forever home where he can be cherished, adored, and given the love he gives so freely. If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle companion who will brighten your days, **Fudge is waiting to meet you**.
