Another Happy Tale

Valentino"We found Valentino at MCHS almost one year ago, and he has been a dream. I never imagined a cat this sweet, loving and affectionate could come from a shelter. 

"Valentino has brought nothing but joy to our family. {He a]lways greets us when we come home, spends all of his time with us and loves a party. I have never seen a more social feline. He loves to be in the middle of everything. 

"Thanks again MCHS for allowing us to adopt him. He has been nothing but the perfect addition to our family since day one!"
