Hello, my name is Cypress and I‘ve grown up in a very pet oriented home. I’ve taken care of household pets consciously since I’ve been about 6 years old. We’ve had about everything you can think of, chinchillas, fish, turtles, parakeets, crabs, dogs, cats and soo much more. Since i was about 6 years old I would save up my pennies and dimes and buy boxes of cat food from my local bodega and feed the neighborhood strays, always begged my parents to take me to our local pet store and would buy flea collars and bowls with the little change I had saved for the local strays and loved every minute of it. We’ve also always had large dogs in the household, boxers, French mastiff & even a English mastiff. At the age of 6 I would volunteer to wash these 100-200lb beasts and trim their nails, it was never a chore just something I loved to do. My pets have always been able to keep me going. Always gave me the love I’d longed for throughout this lifetime. Animals make me smile on my darkest days, and I love to show them that same love and compassion. 15 years in dog/cat experience :).
