Rudy is a little Persian kitten who was born in 1999 along with a brother and a sister. He was the last to be adopted. But when Rudy couldn't go potty in his litter box, he was dropped off at an animal shelter. The family just couldn't stand the mess, the extra work, and the heartache. Poor Rudy felt frightened and devastated. Everyone at the shelter talked about how he went potty all over the house. He spent a lot of lonely days waiting, worrying, and wondering if anyone would save him. Just when Rudy thought there was no hope, a lady adopted him. She turned out to be his very best friend. They lived together for fifteen years, sharing many happy times and a few sad experiences.
