I have grown up with pets, have babysat kids with pets and end up taking care of them as well. I rescued to two kittens from the Society and unfortunately one ran away :/ back in 2014. It breaks my heart to this day and I still have signs up around town for her. I love dogs as well, pretty much any animals!
