Springfield, IL (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – Meet Rudy, an 8-year-old white domestic longhair with a heart full of sweetness and a love for cozy comfort.

Rudy may be a little shy at first, but once he feels safe, he’ll quickly warm up and show you just how affectionate he truly is. He’s a cuddle enthusiast who loves nothing more than curling up in a big, soft bed for a nap, where he’ll happily snuggle up with you for some quality bonding time.

Rudy is diabetic, so he does require some special care, but his gentle and loving nature makes him a wonderful companion. Once you earn his trust, Rudy will shower you with love and affection, making him a loyal friend.

If you’re looking for a sweet, snuggly companion who enjoys nothing more than some cozy time with you, Rudy might be the perfect match. Come meet him at the Animal Protective League, 1001 Taintor Road in Springfield. We’re open every day from noon to 5 p.m.
