A typical day

I love to spend time around pets I look after. Even if we aren't actively playing I love to sit with them and crochet or read while giving them lots of pets. My cat loves to sit in my lap while I play games or watch TV!

Leah took great care of my cat during a couple of weekend drop-in visits, including meeting him where he’s at when it comes to warming up to new people. She was also very responsive and kept me updated so that I wasn’t worried while I was out of town.
