SPOTLIGHT ON CURRENT PET:

Valentine

This sweet cat came all the way from Kuwait in search of a new life. His old life was definitely not an easy one.

Despite his past, Valentine is curious and affectionate and truly full of unconditional love. He enjoys showering humans with kisses and cuddles and giving gentle head bumps. He also makes a very cute chirping sound when he runs after his favorite toys; it is sure to charm you.

Valentine has had to face a number of health challenges due to past trauma, including the surgical removal of one of his eyes. He has chronic kidney disease which will need medication and careful monitoring. Despite his difficulties, this cat is easy to love. We know the right adopter is out there for Valentine. Is it you?
