I have always cared for my friends and family pets. I also foster kittens from momma's that passed or abandoned. I can't save them all but I save the one's that I can. I am connected with vets and facebook groups where we all share and get advise and post pictures and events. I have fur babies of my own all small, all male, and all up in age. I'm retired, so I'm home all the time, I have a large fenced in back yard and rooms designated for pets. The love and joy I receive from caring for these pets is priceless. I live in a single family home with no steps, no carpet. I take my pets out everyday for walks and runs even if its in the yard, we just run around and play. I always wash their feet when we come in from play time. Gotta take care of those puppy pads. Their treats are baked home made or glusosamine and chondroitin for hips and joints. I've never hosted a pet that didn't like being in my home.
