Born and raised in Germany with beautiful cats of all shapes and sizes. My very first cat was my beloved Minki that was a proud 17 years and deaf in both ears! If that wasn't enough, she also only had three teeth and was rescued from the roads. She taught both my mother and I how to be responsible and how pets ARE family. After Minkis passing, my beloved Imy has entered our hearts. Imy was a strong headed almost human-like boy. He knew how to potty on the human toilet, went on walks with me and accompanied me to my school. He was very protactive of us and very clingy. We unfortunately lost him in 2014. Also his name choice might be surprising, but I was a little girl that thought that pretty kitty must be a girl! Well, the name stuck with us! In 2014 we adopted two pretty twin kittens Pixel and Gray. They are going strong at 11 years old, and live with my mother in Germany. After leaving my life behind in Germany to be with my husband, I was determined to be pet free, no hair, no bills - yay! Until we drove to an appointment on a super cold day and encountered a barely alive kitten - our now baby boy Basil. Basil is the light of our hearts and became a big brother as we adopted Toast just a little over a month ago! I have experience with both female and male cats, disabled, old and young. Both indoor and outdoor cats are familiar to me as I had lived with both at some point. Currently my cats are indoor with occasional cat-walks outside on the leash or when heading out with a cat stroller. My husband has experience with farm cats as he grew up on a farm in Wisconsin.
