Having had cats for most of my life, there's now a cat shaped hole in my heart as I can't have one where I'm currently living. I currently have gerbils and ferrets, all of whom I love dearly. I have experience walking, feeding and caring for family members' dogs, mainly well trained Springer Spaniels aged between 3 and 12 years old. I've bred and helped (the mother) raise two litters of ferret kits. I've also had cockatiels, one of which was hand tame before I adopted her, and the other I had from young, who became very tame and loving while I had him.
