I have grown up with dogs almost my whole life. I currently have two cats of my own who are like my family who keep me company. They are good therapy for me. They do get along with most other animals once they all get use to each other. All my cats are vaccinated and treated for fleas as well so it is recommended that your animals be vaccinated as well. Potty trained is recommended as well nut no necessary. My cats are good during the day eat-sleep typical cats while I am gone. My only concern is that I will not accept any aggressive dogs or who don't do well with other animals specifically cats. Contact me if you need my care. Thank you.
