Hi, I’m Justine! I’ve loved animals since I was young and grew up with both cats and dogs. We had two cats, Boots and Lola, who made me realise how lovely (and very individual!) cats can be. We also had two Labradors — Fred and Lucky. Fred (our black Lab) used to follow me to school, so my mum would get phone calls to come and pick him up. When he passed, my whole class actually cried because everyone had got to know him from his little “school visits.” Lucky (our yellow Lab) was named after Luciano Pavarotti — “Lucky” for short, as my mum worked for the Australian Opera. He was a bit of a character… once he escaped and came back spray painted, and another time we found out the local nuns had been feeding him and had renamed him Bozo. Over the years I’ve also done quite a bit of cat sitting, looking after cats with all sorts of personalities. I don’t have any pets of my own at the moment, so I really enjoy looking after other people’s pets and treat them like my own.
