Val

Starting October 6, all cats and kittens are FREE to adopt! Come find your new best friend today! After spending months raising not only her own kittens, but an orphan in need as well, Mama Val is finally ready for someone to take care of her. Meet Val, a 1‑year‑old gray tabby who has shown more strength and heart than most cats ever need to. She came to us as a scared stray, and when staff arrived the next morning, they discovered she had given birth overnight. She hadn’t been far along in her pregnancy, but the stress of life outdoors pushed her into early labor. One of her kittens didn’t survive, but her remaining two were thriving — thanks entirely to Val’s fierce devotion. Val was moved to our medical wing, where she cared for her babies with everything she had. She did such an incredible job that when we received a single orphaned kitten a few days later, we knew exactly who could help. Val welcomed that little one as her own and raised all three babies with patience, gentleness, and unwavering love. Now her kittens are grown,and ready for their next chapters — and Val is finally ready for hers. Val is sweet, affectionate, and people‑friendly, though she may be a bit shy when you first meet her. Give her just a few minutes, and she’ll show you the same warmth she showed her babies for three months. She’s a quiet, loving cat who’s earned her chance at a safe, calm home where she can be cherished. If you’re looking for a gentle young mama with a huge heart, Val is ready to meet you. Val's adoption fee is $50, which helps support their medical care and preparation for adoption. Please note: All of our animals are spayed/neutered and up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations. Each pet also receives a behavioral assessment to help us better understand the type of home they may thrive in. However, it’s important to remember that the results may not fully reflect an animal’s true personality, as shelter and foster environments can be stressful. If you are interested in meeting any of our animals, we encourage you to first visit our website and submit an adoption application: https://www.acskc.org/adopt-1Once your adoption application has been approved, we will call you to set up an appointment to meet with the pet!
