Pet of the Week: Meet Pudding, a sweet boy needing a home for his golden years
This week's Pet of the Week is Pudding. This sugary sweet boy has been looking for a new home for almost 100 days now. As one of the five longest residents at Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control, staff members have putting together a housewarming gift for him for when he gets adopted including a crate, a big bag of food, a plush dog bed, leash, collar and more (while supplies last). Welcome to The Palm Beach Post's Pet of the Week, a series in which we feature animals up for adoption in Palm Beach County in hopes of finding them a loving family. The county's animal shelter selects a pet of the week for this series that is safe, friendly and ready to become a companion. All animals are up-to-date on their vaccinations. Here's what to know about our pet of the week, including what Animal Care and Control staffers say about his personality.

You can find Pudding's profile here! Palm Beach County's shelter selects Pet of the Week from a pool of certified cats and dogs ready to be adopted Leaders at Palm Beach County's animal shelter choose animals for The Post to feature in this series. They often select longer-term residents or animals who are not adjusting well to living in the shelter. The Palm Beach Post's Pet of the Week Animals chosen are part of the shelter's "pet pal" program in which volunteers repeatedly evaluate the animal's temperament, safety and friendliness before deciding whether they're ready for immediate adoption, according to the shelter's website. Pets with illnesses or histories of aggression are not eligible for the "pet pal" program. Dogs with histories of biting humans or other animals are also not eligible. How to adopt a cat or dog in Palm Beach County You can start the adoption process in person or online. To begin in person: Visit Animal Care and Control during normal business hours at 7100 Belvedere Road near West Palm Beach to fill out an application and meet the pets there. To begin the process online: Use the pet's animal ID number (like the one listed above) to search them on Animal Care and Control's online database. Click on the "Ready to Adopt? Click Here" link to the right of the pet's photo. Fill out the two-page downloadable adoption application and email it to Animal Care and Control at PSD-ACCSupport@ Once Animal Care and Control has reviewed your application, a team member will contact you to confirm that you have been approved to adopt. Submittal of an online application does not guarantee the pet's availability. Adoption fees: Adoption fees are $5 for May. They are usually $60 for adult dogs, $75 for puppies and $50 for cats and kittens. Palm Beach County residents who are 55 years and older are offered a discounted adoption fee. Note: All animals adopted from Animal Care and Control will be spayed if female or neutered if male. They will be up-to-date on vaccinations, protected against fleas and ticks and microchipped. About fostering: If you are not ready for a long-term commitment, you may want to consider offering foster care to a pet. This is a great way to get the feel for becoming a pet parent, and it allows you and your new prospective pet to get to know each other. You can find more information about fostering on Animal Care and Control's website. Holly Baltz is an editor at The Palm Beach Post. She has a dog, Pippa, who is 9 years old.

Fluffy Orange Cat Struts Pirate Peg Leg After Cardboard Towel Roll Playtime Fun
Ahoy maties! Meet Pudding, an adorable fluffy orange cat who found himself with a pirate-like peg leg after a mishap during playtime. The cat, whose mom gave empty toilet paper rolls to play with, was cracking up when she found Pudding unsure how to get out of the conundrum, and Pudding's reaction to being stuck is making the rest of us laugh, too! The video starts with Pudding already wearing the peg leg. He wants to walk over to mom but is unsure how to do it. Watch on as mom talks to him - I think it's safe to say that Pudding is a bit embarrassed about the situation he ended up in (literally!) This was just too cute! Pudding's reaction to his new leg was adorable. He was completely unsure what to do next! Viewers also got a kick out of the video. @meldot25 had the perfect new name, "Peg Leg Pudding!" @cialater246 pointed out, "How he pushes it away after he gets it off! That's LOL!" @lorancarioni added, "Very proud of himself - as he should be!"Pudding is a gorgeous cat with all that fluffy fur and such a sweet demeanor! Orange cats are known for having attitudes, but can't that be said about all cats? We all refer to orange cats simply as "orange cats," but they are not their own breed - most of them are orange tabby cats. However, orange tabby cats are also not a breed; when people refer to them, they refer to the cats' striped coats, one of the most common coat patterns around. Breeds that have orange cats include including domestic shorthairs, Maine Coons, Persians, and Scottish Fold. shared a fact about orange cats that I was surprised by - most orange cats are male. The reason why has to do with the 'Ginger Gene', 'The captivating orange fur of these cats is due to a gene called 'O' (for orange), which is located on the X chromosome. This gene determines the production of orange pigment, called pheomelanin, in the fur. Interestingly, male cats only need one copy of the 'O' gene to display an orange coat, while females must have two copies. This unique genetic arrangement results in the majority of orange cats being male.' Only about 1 in 5 orange cats is female! Most orange cats have some similar traits including an M-shaped marking on the forehead, eyes lined with either white or black lines, a paler orange color on their chins and bellies, banding on their legs and tails, and thin pencil-like lines on the face. Sadly, my husband and daughter are allergic to cats so we can't have one. But if I could bring one home, I'd definitely want it to be an orange cat!
