Susan R. Pet Care Provider in Lowell, MA 01851

I'm a big animal lover, which is a prerequisite for this job I hope. I've volunteered at several animal shelters including the MSPCA in Methuen, MA, the Animal Rescue League in Boston, and Monadnock Kitty Rescue in Jaffrey, NH. Currently I feed feral cats through Kitty Angels in Tyngsboro, MA.

I've had several cats in the past 25 years, including older cats that required meds and subcutaneous fluids. My oldest cat lived to 19 years.

I grew up with a dog and have taken care of friends' dogs. I currently have a cat, Tina, who out while briefly living with a dog. I won't have another dog while Tina is alive.

I’m not an in-your-face caregiver. Cats and dogs can be scared and anxious in new situations, including a being near a new person, so I let them come to me when they are comfortable. I try to see life from their viewpoints rather from my assumptions.
