I adore animals and have grown up with cats and dogs as well as a variety of small animals all my life. I currently have 3 of my own cats. I helped set up a local cat charity. I have fostered cats for the last thirteen years and help with fund raising. I am experienced with looking after cats with behavioural and medical problems. I have a lot of patience, understanding and empathy and find gaining an animal's trust and love extremely rewarding. I have a lot of experience with horses and ponies. I have ridden since a child and am currently bringing a horse back into work. I love grooming, mucking out and poo picking!! I also practice animal healing, which I have found very useful with animals who are distressed emotionally or in physical pain.
