From a rough start to a heart full of love, Valentino is the definition of a "comeback kid." ​When Valentino first arrived as a stray, he was nursing some serious injuries and was in a great deal of pain. Back then, he wasn’t exactly the friendliest guy—but we knew it wasn't his true personality talking, just his hurting heart. ​After plenty of medical care, rest, and patience, the "real" Valentino has finally blossomed. He has transformed into a gentle, quiet companion who absolutely adores getting attention from his favorite humans. He may have started out guarded, but now he’s the first to lean in for a chin scratch or a kind word. Valentino is quiet, observant, and affectionate on his own terms. ​He is a firm no on dogs. He has not been cat tested yet. ​His ideal home is a peaceful environment where he can continue to enjoy the pampered life he worked so hard to earn.
