Adoption!! 🎉

Our sweet orange, Valencia has found her family! 🍊🤩

Valencia arrived at our shelter in February with suspected Horner’s syndrome, she was missing bone in her sinuses AND she was FeLV+. After much medical care and love from our Enrichment volunteers, it became apparent that nothing was going to get in the way of this young darling from stealing the hearts of everyone! She’s incredibly affectionate, loves being held and loves all her feline playmates. The lack of her sinus bone may give her occasional sniffles but her pug nose is such an adoring feature!

Congratulations to Valencia and to her new family! 🧡
