It was a funny coincidence that I mentioned recycling cats in my Earth Day post yesterday, because later on, I found out what happened with Bono, the gorgeous black rescue kitty being fostered by best-selling author Helen Brown!
First off, I want to say that my readers are awesome! You all worked very hard to find Bono a home! My blog post about him was shared 290 times on Facebook! My friend Dash and his human worked extra hard on Twitter to get the word out, which is really cool because they live in New Zealand, which is where Helen Brown was originally from (she now lives in Australia). Bono became an international sensation, thanks to you! Of course, the only thing that mattered was finding one single family in New York that was willing to share their lives with Bono, knowing that his chronic renal failure would probably shorten the time they had together.
As you have probably figured out, yes, Bono did find a home! Monique, an oncology nurse, was drawn to Bono by Helen Brown’s Huffington Post blogs about him, and by all the social media attention he had received. And it had been five years since she lost her beloved cat Onyx. Monique loves house panthers… don’t you like her already?
Well, when Monique came over to Helen Brown’s apartment, Bono decided he liked her too! They connected immediately and almost mystically, and as soon as Monique’s husband agreed, they adopted him! You can meet Monique and find out the whole story from Helen Brown herself in her Huffington Post story.
Good luck and happy times to you, Bono — you deserve them!

Love a happy ending!
Daddy said that Bono was ALREADY an international sensation….Se had to show him the post and explain that this was the 4 LEGGED Bono, not the 2 legged!
He bowed to our wisdom and expertise, and this this is a very cool story. 😀
YAY for Bono 😀
The power of the paw has worked for Bono -that and yous guys!

Congrats to Bono on his new home. Purrs to you Sparkle, for caring. Bandit, Selleck, and Their Person, Emily. 🙂
Heartfelt thanks to Sparkle and all your fabulous friends for your love and support for Bono. When he met Monique for the first time it was one of those “meant to be” moments. I’ll return to Australia with a happy heart knowing he has found such a good home. Warmest wishes to all, Helen Brown.
What a wonderful ending to this story, that’s so fantastic!
I forgot the last time I was here. Thank you so much for your kind words about Austin.
Well, of course he’s handsome…he looks just like ME!
What a sweet story! Every time a kitty finds their rightful family is a cause for celebration! The internet is such a great tool when used for good causes. Purrs to you, Sparkle, for all the help you gave him.
Oh, that’s fantastic news, Monique is such a wonderful person to give Bono a home. Sparkle, thank you for helping make it happen. 🙂 🙂
It’s always good to know when another cat gets a good home.
It sounds like Bono is one lucky kitty! Great happy ending!
I am so glad that Bono found a new forever home. It’s wonderful news.
We love happy endings except for the part that they always make our mommy’s eyes leaky! Yay for Bono!

We love stories with happy endings. If only we could do this for every kitty who needs a home. We hope Bono and Monique have many, many years together. Purrs and hugs from the kitties at The Cat on My Head, Lily Olivia, Mauricio Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette
So very happy Bono has a home – and a mighty wonderful one at that! I agree about oncology nurses – the most caring wonderful people there are – my Mom will testify to that! I’m just happy Bono will have someone taking care of him with his special needs……bless them both!
