Hi, I love cats and all the different and unique personalities they each have! I have two cats of my own (Husky and Cutie). 

I adopted Cutie as a 14-yo senior cat, and he was 20lbs, well overweight with a bit of asthma. He is now at a happy and healthy weight of 10 lbs through activity and a raw diet. 

Husky was given to me when he was just a kitten. He had a UTI when he was younger, and so I am familiar with the urinary SO diet, and symptoms to watch out for. He's 11 years now and hasn't had one since that first instance.

I also had a third senior cat (Sweetie) that was adopted with Cutie. Within the first few weeks, I noticed he drank a lot more and peed more than expected. After seeing the vet, he was diagnosed with stage 2 kidney disease. He has since passed away (Feb 2023) from kidney disease, but I gave him almost two quality years. He received subcutaneous fluids from me, as well as daily oral medications. He was a fussy eater and loved attention, so I would sit there for 20 minutes each meal just petting his forehead to keep encouraging him to eat.

I also kitty sat for my friend. Her cat had oral cancer so I ensured his food was nice and soft, and provided him with his painkillers daily.

I also recently started volunteering at the North Toronto Cat Rescue (March 2023). I really just care for the well-being of cats :)

I'm not great at naming cats, but I'll be sure to take good care of them!
