Meet Valentino!!

Are you looking for a companion that wants to sit on your lap and watch tv with you? A cat who will be your best friend, your reading companion, your movie buddy? We have the cat for you. Valentino came to us this month from a man who was caring for him in his heated garage. He would curl up next to the wood fireplace and sit on this man’s lap for as long as he could. Unfortunately, they have 6 cats and realized they could not take on another kitty at this time. He started out shy for the first 12 hours and after that has been a favorite at the adoption center. He is roughly 3 years old, newly neutered so has the big male cat face and has tested negative for Feline Leukemia but positive for FIV. This means that he is immunocompromised and will need prompt veterinary care if he has signs of an infection. Other than that, he can live a long, healthy life. FIV can be transmitted between cats from deep bite wounds. We are not sure how he would do with other cats or dogs. He prefers adults or older children because they have bigger laps to sit on. 

The HOPE Pet Adoption Center is open to the public Tuesday, Friday and Saturday from 11-4 and by appointment. Online adoption applications can be found at our website www.hopeanimalrescue.org.
