š Valentino needs out of the shelter.
Valentino came to us on Valentineās Day, left at our front door in a trap cage. He was around 2 years old, unneutered, and from what we can tell, likely spent much of his life outdoors fending for himself.
Since coming into our care, Valentino has shown us heās a good boy. He enjoys toys, loves to play, and has a goofy sideā¦ but shelter life is wearing him down.
Living in close quarters with so many other catsāespecially other malesāis becoming too much for him. He doesnāt understand that toys and space have to be shared, and his frustration is growing. What started as āmaking the best of itā has turned into Valentino being completely over this life.
And honestly, we canāt blame him.
For Valentinoās well-being, and for the harmony of the other cats here, we need to find him a place where he can be himself.
A home.
An office.
A workshop.
A barn with safety and warmth.
A business looking for a cool shop cat.
Somewhere he can run, play, explore, maybe catch a mouse or two, and finally breathe without the constant stress of shelter living.
We have to think outside the box for this boy.
Valentino doesnāt need perfectionāhe just needs the right fit.
If you have an idea, a space, or think you may be the answer for him, please send us a message. Weāre open to creative placements if it means giving Valentino the life heās clearly asking for. š¤
