Alex is one of the kindest individuals I have ever met. I know that he is used to taking care of his mom's cats and his brother's dog very often and have experienced how much he cares about their well being. Alex has helped me at times on my dog and cat-sitting duties. I committed to feeding and applying medicine to my friend's very old cat for a week, but I was afraid of applying the medicine myself so I sought Alex's help. I knew he would be happy to do it. Another time, when I had to housesit and take care of a household's two dogs and two cats, Alex stopped by some times and helped me with my tasks. I was worried the cats were meowing in the basement a lot and since they were cats who went outside, I was also worried if they took a while to come back. So I called Alex (because he understands cats better) and he helped me with the dogs as well. Recently, there were doves making nests in his building's door and Alex attached a piece of cardboard to the inside part of the door so they wouldn't be exposed to the bright light inside the building! That's how thoughtful he is with animals! He loves them as much (possibly a little more) than humans!!
