I have always had a special ability to connect with animals; my partner calls me "Snow White" because animals flock to me wherever I go. I’ve never met an animal that I haven’t been able to befriend :) When I was five, I was walking our neighbors dogs for $1 while I patiently waited for my little sister to be old enough in my parents' opinion for us to pets of our own - so you could say I've been preparing for this opportunity for decades lol Eventually, I personally had ALL the pets - dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, mice, hamsters, among many other creatures and critters both big and small. I truly love animals! Currently, I have two 🐈‍⬛ black Bombay cats 🐈‍⬛ that I love more than words can express: o Holmes: 10-year-old mini panther who acts like a dog He sits / stays / comes / plays fetch on command, has an awful habit of eating rubber (requiring multiple emergency surgeries 😓), and loves always being on / next to me/my partner at all times o Watson, 1.5-year-old female kitten who lived on the streets for the first year of her life and still acts like a very adorable trash panda She loves cardboard > comfy beds, begging for human food > her automatic dispensed prescription food, playing with trash > normal toys, and meowing often and loudly o Since we rescued Watson, the kitties have lived in separate spaces while their friendship continues to grow (through scent swapping, sight swapping, controlled interactions). Holmes has understandably struggled to adapt after a decade of being an only child but he likes having his sister in his eye sight. Both cats are highly food motivated - they regularly eat from the same squeezem treat on opposite sides of the gate so we believe they will become even better buddies soon. Every day, I also support a number of wild animals with multiple bird feeders in my yard, including (over 20 different species of) birds, bunnies, mice, squirrels, and two ducks. Several birds (chickadees & dark headed juncos) even fly up to the porch when I step outside and whistle. Family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to care for their fur babies for years. I am not only confident that I can take care of your pet(s), but that I also will treat them with the love and respect they deserve to ensure they have the best experience pawsible!
