Female Domestic Medium Hair-Black

Vivaldi is one of Valentine's four kittens. (Her story is appended below). Vivaldi and her siblings Pachelbel, Bach and Mozart, were born on June 13, 2010.

Vivaldi is a Black medium haired girl with a white belly like her sister Mozart. She loves to cuddle up and purr, but at night, it's your feet you better watch for, or else she might get them. She loves to eat and just happens to always be lingering around the kitchen for the smell of a can. If it's not there, she'll let you know. She loves to play with her siblings and the toys that are all around room, mostly the "stringy" ones catch her attention. She is quite the curious one, and she too does like to explore high and low. She also tends to have a slight fascination for plants that dangle....

NOTE: Because a young kitten needs feline companionship, it is the policy of Cat Rescue Network that kittens 6 months or younger be adopted out in pairs unless there is another kitten or young cat already in the home.

Here is their mother Valentine`s Story' -:

Hello - my name is Valentine - My sister & I were born in October 3119 and we were known as the Tuxedo Twins, (she was Tuxedo-1 and I was Tuxedo-2). We were born outside in a feral colony. Our grandfather Socks, an old feral who was born and has lived out on the streets for 7 years, took us in the dead of winter to our foster's deck. He showed us that there was food, fresh unfrozen water and shelter there. We were a couple of months old at that time.

We set up camp close to the feeding station and ate there regularly from that day on. Our granddad and other friends and family visited us regularly. We are scared of humans because they had never been nice to us before. However, we came to rely on our foster's food, and started to trust her more and more. I am the more timid one, but my sister ended up spending Spring and Summer days lazing around the garden and laying beside our human. We got to know our feeder's cats, and they were always happy to play with us. As we grew up, my sister and I got pregnant one after the other.

We found a place to live and have our babies. It was a hole that led us to a mould-infested filthy crawl space of an abandoned house. My sister had her babies first - three daughters: Summer, Solstice & Miracle. When our feeder found out that our hole to our home was going to be plugged up, and the abandoned house was going to be torn down by the business that owned it, she spent a lot of time stalking us and eventually caught us to save us. I went to a new foster home that day. They were very nice and petted me and fed me. That was my first contact and being touched by a human. Two days later, I gave birth to my four sweet babies......Vivaldi, Mozart, Pachelbel and Bach; you will find them on this website under their own names. They were born June 13, 2010.

I am still quite weary of my human caregivers and Im afraid I still hiss at them when they come near. When my foster family want to cuddle with me, they need to wear gloves and use a receiving blanket to pick me up. My fosters will then spend some time singing lullabies to me until I calm down and stop shaking. Only then will my foster parents pet me, still singing lullabies. Although I am nervous, it does feel kinda good. Some days, I feel more courageous and I will not attack my fosters when they approach me. I completely trust them with my babies. They give me lots of great foods to eat and I feel healthier than I did before.

My foster family is working on making sure my babies are fully socialized so they will be ready for adoption when they are old enough. They will concentrate on socializing me more, once my babies become more independent. I will work hard to become a good kitty so that I will make a good pet for some lucky humans - maybe that could be you!
