About Valentin

Valentin is a smart, playful kitten who started life on the streets of LA with his mom and brother, Q. He’s inquisitive but careful, staying back to watch before joining in the action. At first, Valentin is shy and wary of things he doesn’t know, but once he relaxes, you’ll see sparks of his lively personality. Wrestling with his brother and darting after wand toys are daily favorites, and he’s easily won over by treats—Churu is his top pick. Valentin is still figuring out human affection and takes his time to warm up, but cheek scratches have won him over lately. There’s a gentle purr when he’s being pet, even if he isn’t the first to snuggle up. Valentin needs a patient adopter who understands it may take time for him to really trust, and he’ll thrive in a quiet home with another friendly cat. He’d love to be adopted with his brother, Q, if possible, or to a home with a welcoming feline companion. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
