Prior to starting a family I was an SPCA volunteer for many years. I enjoy pets so much I, as an artist, paint them :-) We have a sweet American black short hair cat, and a new white short hair kitten. The cats are always curious about the dogs. Some dogs they have made friends with. All of our pets have always been rescues. We have a yard with nicely manicured gardens. Its perimeter is defined by shrubbery, trees, plantings and steps. We go outside everyday exploring, smelling and playing. The house is situated on a dead end street so walks are easy on this road. Working out of the home gives me the time and ability to care for other pets. All new clients must do a meet-n-greet. At this time I am not taking large breeds.
