Happy Tails
Bengal now known as Benny has found his home.
Nothing makes us happier than a happy match of owner and animal. Here are some wonderful emails we recieved from people who were reunited with their pets or adopted from VIPP....
I wanted to give you a little news about Bengal, whose new name is Benny.
He spent the first day hiding--behind our clothes in the clothes closet, under pillows, just anywhere he could be out of sight. The next day we celebrated Easter with 15 people. We kept him in the master bedroom area away from the crowd. He reigned on our bed where everyone came to meet him and pay tribute. He was regal receiving all his subjects with grace and elegance. The next day he worked his way to the livingroom where "HE" selected the person to whom he would give his attention.
He is eating well, sleeping well, and entertaining us all. My mother is visiting this week, so he has someone at home all day. He is hysterically funny. He has this way of head-butting you when he wants a pet and a wonderful way of just throwing himself down, literally, beside you. Last night there were three of us on the couch and he kept going from one to the other of us for scratching and petting. I think he feels established in his new home. In a week I'll take him out gardening with me. I can hardly wait to introduce him to the biggest sandbox in the world. We are all happy.
Courtney and Benny

Star came back tonight! after seeing signs in the neighborhood, we had a good neighbor call us that they had seen a tabby cat that looked like our cat, we searched for her. she did not want to be "caught" - so we used our other cat, her pal Jake, 'crying' for her to come in the house, and she did. All back to normal! thank you for your website and for your support. it was great, and meant a lot to know that cats may return after even several weeks. thanks again.

Bruno -- aka Captain Von Brumeister, Bru Bru, and Bruno Brunetti -- is settling in nicely along with his girlfriend Alice, previously known as Breve. Alice is named for Alice Waters of Chez Panisse fame as I was reading a book about her when she (Alice the cat) joined the family. We picked Bruno just because it seemed to suit him.
Even though they're almost always being adorable, it has been nearly impossible to get decent photos. Alice is particularly difficult to photograph. One of her nicknames is Greased Lightening because she goes everywhere at full tilt. Practically every photo of her is blurred!
They've been with us for almost a month now and we've so enjoyed getting to know them. Their transition into our home has been very smooth. I credit their friendship with each other and the excellent care they received at VIPP for that. They're more affectionate with each passing day (Bruno is sitting on my lap as I type) and both are very playful, although the fancy toys I bought them are ignored in favor of pieces of string and my daughters' hair accessories. They also "talk" a lot which is funny to hear. I wish I knew what they were saying!
Our vet checked them out last week and pronounced them in excellent health and said the paperwork you gave us was very thorough.
They spend their days eating, playing, sleeping, sitting in the sun and getting lots of love and pets from the whole family. I'm so glad they found their way to VIPP and that I happened to be on Vashon and saw the "Adopt-a-Cat" sign. Thanks for taking such good care of them and for the work you do everyday.
Best wishes for many more happy adoptions!
Sincerely,
Laura Jones & Family

Sid came home. He is injured and off to the vet first thing in the morning. Thank you for your time spent working with VIPP. It is a very important
island resource for pet owners.

Hello: My husband and I adopted Kichi on Sunday, March 25th. I would like to report that he is so happy and content in his new home. He has been renamed, and we are calling him Mr. Tucker Grey. He was so content that he even slept with us last night, and has used his cat box. He is an extremely loving, smart and well adjusted cat. For the first 24 hours, we couldn't be happier!
Thank you.

Thanks so much for the call to let me know that Serafin has found a home. It makes me feel very happy that she’s now in good hands and has a place to live and settle into, and it sounds like a perfect situation for her. I’m sure she’s very happy now.
Thanks again for being such a great group of people and helping her find a good place to live, and also in understanding people like me.

Hello! I just wanted to let you know that we found our cat, Mau, last night! We are so happy to have her home. Apparently she had gotten in the garage of one of our neighbors and then they left for a trip. Someone walking by heard her meowing and called us.
Thank you so much for posting her on the website.
