I have long-term experience with excellent references, am an almost life-long cat owner (35 years), previous feral cat colony caretaker (2 and 1/2 years), and rescue and TNR experience, etc. I was raised with animals (cats, dogs, birds- a parrot and a bevy of peafowl (peacocks), fish, and my grandparents owned a ranch with horses, cows, etc.) so animals are definitely considered to be part of my family and should be treated as such! I look forward to gaining as much hands-on experience as I can in as many areas of animal care as I can. It's extremely rewarding for me to give love and take care of animals and I plan to do this the rest of my life. Thank you very much for considering me!
