Success Story: Pop

Tiny Pop was a wide-eyed kitten of just five weeks old when Valley Humane Society received him from a large animal control shelter last September. He had been picked up as a stray, all alone on the streets and not looking so hot. Pop and Corn, another kitten found around the same time, were placed together in foster care, where they spent the Fall gaining weight and confidence, thriving in loving hands. Pop’s inner rebel soon revealed itself beneath the shy bookworm he had first been. After being neutered, he spent just a few days in our adoption center and found his new home shortly after the New Year began. Now named Bowie, he “eats like a champ” and enjoys sleeping in the family bed “even when it sometimes means he’s walking on our heads at 4 am.” He is still a bit of a rebel, cruising the kitchen table and disdaining squirt bottle attempts to curb the habit…but it’s not without a cause. The Verna family is happy with their decision and “enjoying the little rascal very much,” showing just how much Pop and his antics have worked his way into their hearts!
