Our pets mean a lot to us. We are very attached to our six cats. With the help of Patricia Derks we were able to get three of our cats back in the past 15 years.
When Pluis, at the age of 17, died we managed, with the help of Ms. Derks, to find a new cat. The old Pluis was goodness incarnated; a pet that was cosy and kind and loyal, especially to me. She was always close to me. Enjoyed sitting in the attic. Sometimes she would play a game with me of running away and then looking back over her shoulder.

With the help of Patricia we actually saw the new Pluis being born; it didn’t take long for her to appear like the old Pluis: I especially recognized her eyes; they gave me an instant feeling of familiarity. And then it became clear that she had the same characteristics and quirks, like running away and looking at me over her shoulder.
Shanti-cat died twice in that same time and returned twice. Her nature, too, I recognized and she seemed to recognize me as well. Typical for Shanti, 1, 2 and 3 was that when she felt a shortage of attention she would/will withdraw and become listless. And when she’s not in the mood and we’ll pet her on her back, she’ll sag through her legs. None of our other cats do this. Like with Pluis I recognized her in her eyes and behavior, also.

Generally speaking the appearances of the animal can be different along with a variety of characteristics, but the identity or nature of the animal is the same after a “transfer”

Cheshunt, UK.

My name is Alice. I am 40 years old and I am the proud owner of seven dogs.
I live with my two children just outside of London, and was referred to Ms Derks by a close friend of mine when one of my children’s dogs died several years ago.
My children were, as expected, heartbroken by the loss of their Golden Retriever who died without cause during the night, and they, more than anyone recognized the new pup as their Max from the moment I carried the two month old dog into their room. The most amazing part was that I hadn’t told them of the Pet-Transfer I had requested, but three days after the pup joined our family, Sally told me, “Mum, it’s Max! Do you see?” And I did. Like my kids I saw it then too.
Thanks to that most fortunate referral I was able to get my own dog, as well as two (now) of my children’s dogs back, so when I was asked to write this praise, I was very pleased to be able to help.
I have always been a fervent animal lover, and even as a child I would take home stray dogs in hopes of being allowed to keep them. I wasn’t of course, and for that very reason the first thing I did when I moved away from home was adopt a couple of dogs, and added to them as the years passed.
Cats are also a big part of my life, and thanks to Ms Derks my dearest feline, Brunswyck, was returned to me just a few months ago when one of my other cats threw a litter. Brunswyck fit into the only galico of the litter perfectly, and is growing into a perfect replica of the cat that has been a part of my life for the past fifteen years.
My cats always behaved like dogs, what with them having grown up amidst our rowdy bunch, and the new additions return to that behavior within short time.
Crescent II (my only male cat) beats it all and behaves like he's the alpha of all my pets, he always did and I have no doubt that he’ll be this again when he is returned to me the next time.
I did take care that with every “replacement” the new pet looked exactly, or a lot like its predecessor, which made the transfer a lot easier for my family and I. The previous feelings for the deceased pet switched towards the replacement pet seamlessly. The connection was almost instant for the animal and us both.
The funnyest part is that the other animals do not even notice the change on the most part, which amazes me time and again, because when I first started adopting dogs and cats, every time adjustments had to be made by my family as much as the new addition.
Last year the my youngest daughter’s Terrier died, and this time she was an active part in finding the new dog. We were at the pound, looking around with our camera in hand for the perfect replacement. Yes, Sophia was sad when Paddy died, but she also knew that in just a few days she would have him back as soon as she found a dog that she liked.
A bouncy crossbreed well under a year old drew her instant fancy. She took one look at him and said that she wanted him. That same evening we sent the picture to Ms Derks and got the assurance that the transfer was possible and even easy to achieve since Sophia had picked one that would fit Paddy’s character perfectly.
My daughters were thrilled when old Paddy’s character returned within just a few days, every time he’d do something they remembered so well, they’d be quite the cheering part. They are even keeping up a log of all the character traits that matched.
Yes, loosing a pet is still a sad event, but my family and I do know that this feeling is only temporary now that we have the opportunity to ask for the services of Pet-Transfer.

Yours truly,
Alice

I am 72 years old and used to be a farmer. Since 1990 I am an avid dog lover. I have 4 dogs at this time. Two of my dogs have been with me for 2 lifetimes. The second transfer was done very recently. Pimmetje was a large Boxer that died less than five weeks ago. Thanks to Patricia I found him, his new body, in a local dog shelter.
Pim (the second) is a black cocker setter mix aged about 8 months.
The first thing I noticed (I am not a sensitive person, never been, I’m a rational person) was that when driving home from the shelter Pim didn’t know who his new boss was going to be. The transfer started when I arrived at my home, the new Pim turned to me instantly, picking me out of four strangers, and hasn’t left my side since.
Beforehand, I feared the moment that the old Pim would die; he had been suffering from severe epilepsy. But when I was later asked if the day on which old Pim died was a sad one, but oddly enough I had to admit that it hadn’t been. To me it felt as if he’d never been gone.
Because of Patricia’s services I am a very pleased dog owner. I know I will never have to say goodbye to my dogs again.

I have three Cocker Spaniels, two that were returned to me by Patricia, by helping me find new bodies for them.
With the two dogs there were a lot of things I noticed with the transfer to puppys.
The death of my dogs was short together, with the first I took a chance on Pet-Transfer but with the second time just a few months later I was looking forward to seeing my dog return.
I was sad both times and even the second time I was crying a lot even when I knew I could get her back and that the sadness would only last a short time.
Every time I loos a dog it feels horrible and it is a sad decision to have euthanasia on your dog when sickness will make its life bad. I do not want my friends that is what they are to me, to suffer at all but it hurts in my chest and I cannot stop crying. As soon as Patricia puts them in the new body, it becomes less.
Two times I found young dogs at a perrero that were under nine months and I was glad to find them.
Something changes the moment my dog is placed in the second one. The dog from the shelter looks at me with eyes that know me, like I know them and I recognize them. It happens in just a few hours. There is familiar and gratitude because they are happy to be with me. It is a very deep feeling. Very strong.
Both my return Cockers behaved like the old ones in just a few days. They go to sleep in the same place. They are the same.
I am very sensitive and this is an experience for sensitive.
Thoughts disagree with my senses but the proof is very clear and undeniable for me because my being sad disappears.
When I was young I lost a dog before and then I was sad for a long time, hurt also, and that stayed for so long.
I am very happy to know Patricia because now I will never have to feel that way again.

I got my dog Thorgal when I was a teenager. He was a shepherd I got as a pup, and grew up to be a big and strong dog. When he got older I asked Patricia to connect his identity with a young white Canadian Shepherd, so when he died he would easily switch to Thor (the white shepherd). Thor was a shy dog, his character too much formed and damaged by spending the first year of his life in a cage, so when my Thorgal died in his sleep, without illness playing a part, the transfer wasn’t as good as I’d wanted it to be. I could see some things of old Thorgal in the new, but very little because new Thor’s character was already too developed by the time I’d adopted him. Also, I found that Thor had a bad health because of wrong breeding, and it made him become very ill just four years after the transfer had been made. This time I waited until Thor died and asked Patricia to hold on to him until I had found a new pup in which I knew Thorgal would be happy again. I found a 6-8 week old Golden Retriever pup with big paws and square face. The transfer was very good this time. I could see my old Thorgal settle in the pup in a couple of days and it pleased me to see his old confidence return. He is a big dog now. Very stable like the old Thorgal was, watching wilder dogs play with little interest as he does his own things with pleasure. I now know that I have to choose my pets more carefully. Make sure that they are well because I could see that Thorgal had not been happy as the white shepherd.
