After Berkeley Humane: Popoki

Some adopters meet their perfect match at Berkeley Humane, spend many happy years with their companion, then later down the line come back again when they’re ready for another companion to join the family.

The adoption story below is from one such adopter, who adopted from us back in the 90s (yep, we’ve been around a while!) and came back again recently to see our cats. She met and fell completely in love with Luigi: she scooped him up, gave him an awesome new name Popoki, and has been kind enough to share a fabulous snippet of her family's life with him!

We are really enjoying our new baby, Popoki (formerly Luigi.) We are so happy with him! He is so comfortable with people, he was the hit at our Thanksgiving dinner. This is my second Berkeley Humane Society adoption (adopted our cat, Rosie, who passed recently, 17+ yrs ago!) and I can't recommend you enough. The volunteers that come to spend time help the animals so much so that they are ready to join their new homes.

He has moved right in and already found his favorite snooze spot by the window. He is very social and greets anyone who comes to the house with purrs and an ask for a scratch behind the ears. Poki is very photogenic!  Here are just a few of his best photos:

We agree: Popoki is extremely photogenic! Congratulations on finding such a great match. We couldn’t be happier to hear about how readily he became a part of your household!
