Make their next chapter their best one yet. Meet Val! Lucky Val was found at Palmer Park on Valentine's Day in heartbreaking condition and, thanks to warmth, food, and compassionate care, this resilient one-year-old tuxedo cat has made a remarkable recovery. Now healthy—though she does still have a frost-nipped ear tip and a broken tail tip—Val is more than ready for her forever home. Val is a loving, cautious girl. Sometimes she’ll lean in for pets and soak up attention, while other times she gently lets you know she needs a bit of space. This isn’t aggression, just a young cat still learning to trust after a difficult beginning. She currently resides with a Labrador and four adult cats. Val would truly thrive as the queen bee of her home, preferring male cats over females. She’s proven she can coexist with dogs, but feels more at ease with the gentle touch of women. Despite the hardships she’s endured, Val remains devoted to her person—following you room to room, curling up on your lap or chest, and offering comforting companionship. Once she feels secure, her affectionate and playful personality really blossom. Val needs a calm, patient home where she can continue to grow and be cherished. As a Gemini (born June 19), she may show off her playful and curious side—another endearing trait just waiting for you to discover. Your new best friend is just one click away.
