Valentine

My story

Love is in the air! February may have come and gone, but Valentine the cat gives love all year round. This handsome tuxedo cat came to EHS from a crowded municipal shelter. Not much is known about his past, but we are confident that his future will be rosy. ABOUT VALENTINE- At shelter - Valentine is a skittish cat who appears to have had minimal experience with humans. - He is currently enrolled in EHS’s socialization program, where dedicated volunteers are working to help him become more comfortable around people.- Shelter volunteers have described Valentine as a “shy but sweet and gentle guy.” - Valentine has started to accept occasional pets by hand, especially on the chin and cheeks, and is okay with some gentle affection from the back-scratcher. One day at a time, little love. - This boy still spends quite a bit of time hiding behind his cubby, but is starting to come out more and more, especially when it’s time to eat. - Who says candy and treats on Valentine’s Day are too commercialized? Not our boy; he has even started taking treats from our volunteer’s hand.- Funny fact: Valentine often sleeps upside down in his cubby. - Volunteers report that Valentine can be vocal when he wants to “call them back” after they leave, and is also vocal during his out time. - Valentine is neutered, microchipped, dewormed, flea-treated, SNAP-tested for FIV/FeLV, and is up to date on core vaccinations. VALENTINE’S IDEAL HOME- Valentine will benefit from a calm, quiet environment. - He does occasionally door dash so would not be suitable in a home with children. - Valentine has had visits from compatible shelter cats (Hibiscus and Abernathy) and seemed to enjoy the company of his feline friends, willingly entering into the cubby as a group. He would do well in a multi-feline home. - His compatibility with dogs is unknown. - Potential adopters should be prepared to commit the time, effort, and patience required to help Valentine settle into his new environment. EHS will provide post-adoption support to assist Valentine with a successful transition to his forever home.Are you ready to fall in love with Valentine?
