1. Kinzley K.
“Kinzley has the biggest heart for animals (especially cats) than I have ever seen. Growing up she always had at least 2 cats at a time, (along with 2 dogs.) Being around animals brings her so much joy and it shows in the way she loves all the animals she encounters. She is very protective of her own animals and realizes many pets are considered family to their owners Because of this I would highly highly recommend Kinz to take care of and love your pets when you can’t be there to do it yourself.”
