Sunday Success: Wonder aka Gracias

Nov 17, 2024

This week’s Sunday Success Story is about a very special cat that  came to Valley Humane as a transfer from Stockton Animal Services. Now renamed Wonder, this feline friend was adopted back in 2022. We’d been, well, wondering how he’s been doing. Luckily, his new family wrote in to tell us!
Dear Valley Humanity Society,

I hope this letter finds you well. I’m writing to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone at Valley Humanity Society, and share the success story of my cat, Wonder (formerly known as Gracias).

Wonder joined our family on November 9, 2022, and it’s been a joy to watch him blossom over the past 2 years. When I first adopted him, he was very shy and seemed a bit reserved. But with time, patience, and love, he has become a lively, playful, and curious cat. He is always up for a game of fetch – almost like a dog! Now, he loves playing with everyone he meets and exploring every corner of the house. His energy and spirit have truly transformed our home, and we couldn’t be happier.

Thank you so much for the care and love you provided to Wonder before he came to us. Knowing that he came from such a supportive environment makes me even more grateful for the work you do. Your dedication to finding safe and loving homes for animals like Wonder is truly inspiring, and I am so glad to have been a part of it.

Best,
Yangyue & Lina
