Val is a young orange and brown tabby with striking green eyes. When he first arrived, he was as playful and outgoing as any kitten. After a sudden FIP diagnosis, months of treatments wore down his confidence—he’s grown more reserved and wary of people since. What Val needs most now is a gentle, understanding home that can give him space and patience as he learns to trust again. Throughout his illness, Val found comfort in his foster room’s den mama, Deborah, who snuggled with him through every tough day. They aren’t a bonded pair, but if someone wants to adopt them together, they’d make quite a duo. Val is fully vetted and housetrained. He survived a lot—now he deserves a chance to relax and thrive with an adopter who’ll appreciate his quiet resilience. Fun fact: Val’s birthday is August 21, so he’s a Leo—maybe that’s where his softness and bravery come from. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
