I have a background in animal welfare and have extensive experience with medical care for cats and am able to administer medication and subcutaneous fluids for cats and dogs as well as some injectables. I am an avid lover of all creatures and started my quest with animals by volunteering to walk dogs at Best Friends Animal Society and later completed an internship in their neonatal kitten nursery. This led to me getting a job in the kitten nursery where I worked all hours caring for neonatal kittens during "kitten season" and later worked in adoptions caring for dogs and cats of all ages, assessing behavior, administering medication, feeding, walking and showing love to these wonderful critters. I have 2 dogs at home, Violet (a pug) and Fritz (cute little mutt), I have 2 indoor cats- Charlie and Chibi, and one “garage kitty” - Miles that I took in from a hoarding situation. He used to live in my backyard but we found out he was FIV positive so now he has an apartment in our garage to keep him and other neighborhood kitties safe and healthy. He was fully “feral”, but now he will let us brush him and has come such a long way😊 My two previous dogs were seniors, and I have a major soft spot for senior animals or those with any sort of special needs. Dexter lived to be 14 and was paralyzed in his hind legs in his last years and we would stroll the neighborhood in his wheelchair, cheering up any person we would pass by. Daisy also had hind issues but never fully lost her ability to walk and with love, medical care and Fritz to liven her up, she bounced back when we adopted her at 13 yrs old. I currently volunteer at a farm on the weekends taking care of goats, pigs, chickens, alpacas, sheep and one sassy llama. Animals are my greatest passion and I assure you I will treat yours as if they were mine :)
