I’ve always had animals my entire life. Cats, dogs, hamsters, birds, tree frogs and turtles held a special place in my heart as I grew up. As an adult, I have happily shared my home with cats and dogs. I absolutely adore animals and have been dubbed the dog charmer by my mother due to my ability to calm and cuddle with even the most hyper of dogs. Currently, I have 2 very spoiled kitties. I believe animals deserve to be treated with love, kindness, dignity and patience. I loved watching my kitties each grow into their individual personalities and I believe that they were able to do so because I allowed them each to be how and who they are without interfering. I don’t believe in disciplining animals harshly, it only creates fear. I believe in modifying destructive behavior by assessing WHY that behavior is presenting and learning what motivates each animal so I can use that as a tool to redirect the energy. I treat all animals in my care as if they were my own.
