Four-month-old Strudel has come a long way since arriving at Ark-Valley Humane Society (AVHS) as a very timid stray. With time in a loving foster home, plenty of patience, treats, and gentle affection from staff and volunteers, Strudel is slowly coming out of his shell and he loves belly rubs! He may be shy at first, but underneath that timid exterior is a very sweet kitten. AVHS hopes by featuring Strudel as Pet of the Week, someone will take the time to see just how special he is.
