Welcome ...
Vashon Island Pet Protectors, established in 1984, works each day to improve the quality of life for domestic pets on Vashon Island. This year we are celebrating 25 years of service to the community. Affectionately known Island wide as "VIPP,” Vashon Island Pet Protectors is a no-kill and non-profit 501c3 animal rescue organization run by compassionate and dedicated volunteers. Our primary objective is to make sure there are no homeless pets on the Island. We accomplish this by running an efficient lost and found operation and find new homes for relinquished dogs and cats. In an effort to prepare for Island wide emergencies, we have started a new micro-chipping program. All animals that we adopt out are micro-chipped, spayed or neutered, and are current on their vaccinations.
Henry was scooped up off the street near Sound Food after having been hit by a car. Fortunately, he was not badly hurt and he has been able to completely recover at the shelter. Henry is a feral cat and he is suspicious of humans but he likes having regular meals and the company of his shelter buddies. Henry is a special boy with a special story, a lot of which we will never know.
Henry is a found cat that was never claimed - he came to VIPP on 5/6/08
