My name is Valentine!

Hello there! I’m Valentine, a 10-year-old, resilient sweetheart of a kitty with a distinctive little “kiss” mark on my nose. I was surrendered to the rescue on Valentine’s Day, due to sad circumstances that were no fault of my own, leaving behind the only family and home I’d known since I was a kitten. Understandably, for a while, I was heartbroken, confused, and scared. But now, I’ve come out of my shell and am ready for a fresh start!

I’m a curious and friendly cat who loves to seek out attention by rubbing against your legs, meowing, or flopping around. I’ll communicate with you through little meows, chirps, and purrs. If I really want your attention, I’ll give your arm or leg a gentle “tap tap” with my paw as I look sweetly up at you. I like to lay in your lap, especially if you have a cozy blanket. I especially can’t get enough of scratches behind my ears and really lean into them, to the point where sometimes I nearly fall over. Naps on my cat tree or watching the birds are favorite pastimes, but I also enjoy chasing after my feather toys (I still have the playful spirit of a much younger kitty). Treats and soft food are the keys to my heart. My foster mom says I’m a very brave girl, because when I went for my routine vet visit, I wasn’t scared at all of getting in my carrier and visiting a new place.

I’ll be a great companion for someone seeking a laid-back, quiet, and affectionate friend. A quiet environment where I can feel safe and loved would be ideal for me in return. I’ve lived with another cat before, and I’m curious about the feline friends in my foster home, but my foster mom senses I like to be the one in charge and that perhaps it would be best if I’m the only pet in my new home.

If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a sweet, brave kitty with a heart of gold, I promise to bring love and gratitude into your life. Let’s make next year’s Valentine’s Day extra special—let’s meet and start our new adventure together!

*The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person!  If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called 'cute' as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification!

*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care. 

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.
