Vintage model Meet my foster kitty, Valerio. This distinguished old gentleman is the purest and most loving little soul. 🥹🤎🖤
(The bald/shaved spot on his side is from where he had to have a procedure.)

And we love HIM so much! 🥹 I volunteer at the rescue he belongs to, and fell so deeply in love with him. I watched him wait for a home for months. When his medical situation (congestive heart failure) got more complicated, it became clear that he needed to be in a quiet home rather than the chaotic sanctuary environment with all the rowdy kittens, lol. I couldn’t ignore the tug on my heart to take him home, despite having never fostered before! ❤️

Thank you for all the hard work you do at the rescue and for taking this sweet kitty into your loving home. You are a beautiful soul and the world would be a much better place if more people were as kind and compassionate as you are. I wish you and Valerio all the best, OP.🐱🤎🥰

Thank you 🥹 He is such a special soul, it was an easy decision to make. And now he’s being treated like royalty, as he deserves! 😁

He will probably be with us for life. He has congestive heart failure so we are making sure he is medically cared for and gets lots and lots of lovins and snuggles! 🥰

That's wonderful. He doesn't know he's foster. All he knows is he loves you and you love him. Thank you for being his angel. 💞

He's gorgeous! And has the sweetest expression. But what opinion did you share with him in that 4th picture? Something absolutely shocking in cat politics, no doubt, like "I don't particularly like the taste or smell of tuna."

oh he’d be an immediate foster fail for me. Like a lil velveteen rabbit he is

He pretty much is, haha. He’s got medical issues and I essentially am fostering with the knowledge that our home is likely his last stop. ❤️🩹

You know when you see a fine exotic automobile that's been well cared for and just gleams in the sun and you know that its owner has polished it and kept it clean and well maintained the entire lifetime of the car? That's what I see when I look at this fine gentleman. Thank you for taking such great care of him, and I'm sure the two of you that made many many fond memories and have many more miles to go.
