*** GONE 11/20/15 *** DEBONAIR VALENTINO NEEDS YOU TONIGHT!! VALENTINO is a NEUTERED, 8 year old with a BEGINNER rating and some possible senior health issues. VALENTINO’s former owner adopted him from the ASPCA but didn’t return him there and in fact, had no time to fill out an owner surrender statement because she was in a borrowed car…..A volunteer writes:
Hi! I’m Valentino. I’m not a movie star, but I sure would like to star in a movie with my great looks, and be your leading man. We can spark a romance together. I’m pawing for my fans, come rub my head, I’ll head butt you for appreciation of your company. I’m a Russian Blue mix, see my lean body, long thin legs, my soft gray fur coat which will dazzle you. I have a striking cute black nose which complements my gray face. So come visit me and you can be the star in my life.
Another volunteer writes:
What a sweet elder statesman this kitty is! He is handsome and pleasant and turns into a purr box when you pet him. Valentino needs a loving home, a lap to keep warm in the winter and a human companion who appreciates his soft company. What an absolute gentleman Valentino is!
VALENTINO is a LOVER and needs someone who will get him to a vet, find out what’s really going on and truly LOVE him!! IF YOU FIT THE BILL, PLEASE OFFER TO FOSTER OR ADOPT THIS HANDSOME GENT NOW!!

11/05/2015 PET PROFILE MEMO
11/05/15 13:07 Basic Info: The previous owner adopted this cat from the ASPCA 4 years ago. The cat is neutered. The cat is described as friendly and affectionate. The owner was not willing to stay and complete the interview. She had her kids in the car and was barrowing the car. She had to return the car to her friend. Behavior during intake: This cat was hissing and growling when I approached the front of the carrier. The cat has a meow that does not sound good. The cat was slow moving during the intake process. When I attempted to get the cat out of the carrier it growled. Because of the cats lethargic condition I did not force the cat out.
