Ever since I was a kid, I am surrounded by animals. I lived for more than 27 years in a country estate, so my family had a minimum of 4 dogs and cats at a time. We treated them just like our sons! Mom and dad taught us to love them deeply, so my fondest memories are usually of me playing and running with my large Golden Retrievers and specially German Shepards that roamed free in our garden and bushes. And my beloved Siamese cat Comanche who lived with us in the house. Coincidence or not, I happened to wed an animal lover just like me. I think it's the main ingredient of our affection. Simone is a talented pet stylist who is also a talented animal whisperer. Animals feel calm before her, it's one of her greatest assets. In late 2022, we received the notification by the Canadian Government that our immigration had been approved. We then had a lot of trouble to find housing in Canada because one thing was certain: we wouldn't leave our 7 beloved cats behind. But we eventually solved that and there we went. So that's how we brought all of my rescue cats with us: 5 in the cabin, 2 in cargo; plus my mom, my aunt and my uncle in tow to help us with the move. Now all of us are happily established in London. We continue to nurture for our own cats and we're happy to help others who need specialized, loving care. After all, to care responsibly for animals is one of the many responsibilities I am trying to teach to my 2 young daughters.
