Mike has an appreciation for a variety of creatures and has cared for many over the last few decades including birds, dogs, cats, and small furry critters. Some of them had special needs. He tended to my cats when I went on vacation. I could always count on Mike not just to feed them, but to play with them, to administer medication, and just to hang out with them for a while, so they didn't get too lonely. It’s really nerve-wrecking for pet parents to travel, but I always felt safe and didn’t have to worry when Mike was on the job.
