I'm a dog lover. I've been training and competing with my dogs from the very young age of 8 years old. In my late teen years I became active in animal rescue. As an adult, I've become less active in competing with my dogs, and animal rescue has completely taken over my life. I cannot foster dogs right now, so instead I take on sick kittens. I'm knowledgable about dogs, but kittens/cats are all new to me. So I turned to cat forums to find some answers.

I've taught some of my own dog training classes in the past; I work in a veterinary clinic as a receptionist, kennel hand, and clean the entire clinic on the weekends; and I'm going to school to become a veterinary technician.

I've fostered over 30 kittens in the past 6 months. I do not foster with any organization as of right now. I used to be part of the local humane society, but due to corruptness, I'm not longer involved there. I've taken on helping people with kittens. I often offer to take the kittens, raise them, give some medical treatment, and rehome them. I put all rehoming fees directly back into spaying the mother cat then.

So, that's just a bit about me.

If you've fostered 30 kittens, I dare say there are many things you can teach US, and those who are coming in here all the time with kitten problems. Please feel completely free to help them out (keeping in mind the forum rules about recommending medical care, of course).
