Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Ludwig is a gentle, friendly senior boy who loves to spend his days hanging out in his cat condo and his nights sleeping with you! He loves chin scratches and will purr up a storm to say thank you!
Ludwig isn’t fussed by his foster’s other pets and basically just ignores them. He doesn’t play much, but when he does, he really likes his automatic interactive toy. The one thing that really gets his juices flowing is videos of birds or mice! He will try to attack them on the screen!
Ludwig is missing some teeth, so sometimes his lip will get stuck and he ends up looking like Garfield! Unlike Garfield, he won’t try to steal your pizza. He’s on medication for his dental issues and can only eat soft or wet food. He seems to understand that the medication makes his mouth feel better, so he takes it like a champ.
Ludwig’s foster says he’s such an easy cat to have around. We think he’d fit well into many homes, though a calmer one might be best. He’s not up for running around and playing for hours.
All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
For further information or to meet Ludwig, please email adopt@austinpetsalive.org.
