Kristen grew up with cats, and a golden retriever too! Kristen also lived with her roommate's rambunctious Australian Shepherd for five years, so she has experience with crate training and puppy behavior, etc. Her current cat, Binx, was found as a just week's old kitten running along the 110 freeway, but she is recovered and happy and healthy now! Sevi grew up with cats, and even fostered cats for a year when he first moved to California, only giving it up when he married Kristen, who came as a package deal with her adorable tuxedo cat. We adore Binx, who - after living with Ollie the Aussie - is unfazed by dogs. Kirby, our newest shelter cat, is less impressed by dogs, but enjoys playing with them once they warm up to each other.
