My calm demeanor helps me connect with pets of all temperaments. Adopting a sassy calico cat named Waffles with my partner has taught me the importance of patience, training, and understanding space. I am an approved foster parent with SPCA Erie County and have had the pleasure of fostering newborn kittens, a nursing mother cat, and puppies. I've experienced fostering young puppies (3 months old) and implementing effective potty-training techniques. Beyond fostering, my friends trust me to take care of their cats/dogs while they're away. I have even taught some of the cats new tricks while in my care! Since then, I have my own adventurous cat, Shrimp, who thrives on outdoor exploration, and I understand the importance of providing mental and physical stimulation. I'm attentive, experienced, and genuinely passionate about making sure every pet in my care feels happy, safe, and loved.
