I have been around animals my entire life. I have always had cats in my home no matter where it is. I grew up with dogs, cats a pig, chickens, geckos, rodents, and ducks, all in the suburbs of southern California. I have fed, bathed, and cared for all of the animals I have lived with including building houses and pens and providing a safe, friendly place to roam about. I currently have three cats and my mother who is staying with me has one cat all of them get along and play together on my 1.7 acre property with a fully fenced in 1.2 acres of field and forest. I have taken care of all of these animals as part of my family, as I will do with your family.
