Christina G.
“Christina adores her orange tabby kitty. He’s enjoyed living with her for an amazing fifteen and a half years so far. Since he’s geriatric with a few health issues, Christina ensures he gets his daily medicine, keeps him well hydrated and fed, and makes sure he has plenty of toys to play with and cozy spots to relax in. As much as she would like more animals, she knows her cats personality well enough to know he would be happiest in a single pet home. Christina has watched my two cats while I’ve gone on vacations before. Each time, I’ve had no issues. The litter boxes were clean, she fed them as directed (I had very specific instructions since my one cat had kidney disease, was on a prescription diet, and liked his food warmed up with a little water mixed in), and she always sent me pictures and videos since she knew I missed them so much. You can trust your fur babies with her!”
