About: I love all animals but especially have a soft spot for cats. My love for cats started when I was a little girl and my grandpa always let me feed the cats when I came over to my grandparents house. I know the importance of keeping them hydrated, plenty of enrichment with new toys and giving them space when needed I’m currently working full time as a nurse but it does give me the flexibility to have 4 days off a week to stop by and do check ins. My cats are so spoiled and have multiple cat towers and provide various toys for enrichment and are microchipped and are not allowed outside. I am very careful about making sure doors and windows are closed all the way to prevent from going outside. They have plenty of windows for bird watching throughout the day

I like to think of myself as very good at following instructions, even if your pet won’t 😂 and I like to make sure my job is done right.
