Hi there! I’m a big animal lover with two adopted cats of my own, and I’ve also fostered three other cats over the years. I’ve had some experience around other animals too, including dogs, hamsters, birds, and even tortoises, so animals have always been a part of my life in one way or another.

My cats, Oreo (a tuxedo) and Pepper (a tabby), are full of personality — quirky, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining in very different ways. Spending time with them is genuinely one of the best parts of my day, whether that’s playtime, quiet company, or simply watching them go about their routines. Living with them has taught me a lot about patience, attentiveness, and respecting each animal’s individual needs and boundaries.

Through my experiences traveling and caring for my own pets, I’ve come to appreciate how important familiarity and routine are for animals, especially cats. They’re sensitive to changes in their environment, and small disruptions can make a big difference to how secure they feel. Being mindful of this has shaped how I approach caring for animals in everyday life — with calmness, consistency, and a lot of heart.
