Personally, I've had cats in my house since I was around 7. I am allergic to dogs so I never could own them growing up but, all my friends had them, so I usually carry an antihistamine with me. I've also been volunteering at Buddy Dog Humane Society since 2018, not including Covid. Since I am allergic to dog saliva, I usually work with cats and kittens. Often when I'm volunteering I wash dishes, mop, and sweep, clean cages/pens, provide cats with wet and dry food, and always ensure they have water, socialize cats with humans, dogs, and other cats, and sometimes secure a runaway or anxious/aggressive animal. I've also transported over 25 cats, with my dad, from NY to Buddy Dog Humane Society (Sudbury, MA) over the past couple of years. In the past, I have done daily walks/check-ins for my friends' dogs when they were out of town. I've also walked friends' and neighbors' dogs countless times. I am also quite experienced in petting both dogs and cats and am prone to falling in love with them.
