Success Story: Luke Skywalker

The force was strong the day the Faber family visited Valley Humane Society looking for a kitten. Having pre-shopped available kittens on our website, the couple just wanted to determine the accuracy of the behavior profiles they’d read. Not only did they find our personality descriptions as accurate as a well-aimed blast from a Jedi X-wing Starfighter, the Fabers actually found Luke Skywalker.

From day one, the curious gray tuxedo was a perfect fit for this family of Star Wars fans. He energetically jumped a makeshift barrier to explore their house at light speed. The Fabers bought him a galaxy of his favorite playthings, and he quickly learned to scale his cat condo instead of trying to climb the curtains. The couple credits Valley Humane Society with easing them into first-time pet parenthood: “From getting time to really meet the kittens, to all the information we were sent home with, the wonderful folks at the center really helped us. If you are considering adding a furry friend to your home, this is definitely the place to start!” Indeed, the Fabers had such a positive experience, they’re thinking of adding a Leia to their adorable Luke!
