Fudge

UPDATE: April 13

Fudge, now Lace, was adopted today!! Thank you Erin for giving her a second chance! I'll miss her no fuss presence around the shelter, but I'm happier she has a home of her own now. Here's to your bright future Lace ^^

UPDATE: February 16

Fudge is still waiting for that special someone! She still continues to display what mostly likely is herpes virus symptoms here and there. Thankfully the days are slowly getting warmer and while Fudge can now finally enjoy a few more sunbathing hours what she really needs is a devoted someone to give her a nice warm stable home, plenty of TLC and a chance to receive a chance to recover fully from the virus. Please don't be put off by this, the herpes virus is quite common in cats, especially shelter cats, it's non fatal though it's rather uncomfortable for cats I'm sure, like having a bad cold. Treatment for herpes virus is often short and very affordable. Why not consider helping out a lovely kitty like Fudge and give her a fighting chance?

Fudge is pretty young female cat currently calling Asan shelter home after being rescued from the Asan city pound around 1 year ago. She has a beautiful striking blend of markings (orange, white, tabby), pale green eyes and a cute stumpy tail. Fudge is a rather gentle, quiet, independent cat, happy to just curl up and sleep for most of the time, with or without the company of other cats. She does like the odd head scratch and will often surprise me by coming by and rubbing her head against my leg but usually isn't too keen to be picked up to be cuddled. Having said this, she doesn't hiss, bite or scratch, she just appears uncomfortable when being picked up. She's a lady who appreciates her space! However, I do think she would flower into an even more extremely friendly kitty given the chance to have a home of her own and be in the company of a loving guardian.

Fudge is spayed and has received some vaccinations, however a general health check will be required once she leaves the shelter.

Just a side note, previously there have been some cases of stomatitis ( like a feline gingivitis), as well as a non fatal but highly contagious feline herpes virus at the shelter. These symptoms often present themselves in cats who are in stressful conditions, like shelters, but can be easily treated once in a home of their own! Fudge is displaying symptoms of the herpes virus (some mucous discharge, coughing and sniffling) and while she had some treatment, such treatment needs to be regular and maintained before it gets better. Finding a foster home for Fudge would be the beginning to treat the symptoms alongside a short dose of antibiotics.

Fugde's oral health seems satisfactory, but a more thorough check of her teeth is needed. At this point, Fudge isn't showing any signs of stomatitis but there is a possibility stomatitis symptoms can develop in the future and thus require some dental treatment and care. Most cats that are exposed to an environment where stomatitis has occurred WILL NOT develop it, but some cats will, and a depressed immune system does seem to make them more likely to develop it. However, if by any chance this arises, there is a fantastic vet in Seoul who specializes in feline dental care we can refer you too!
