I have always had dogs and cats. I have previously lived in India for 5 years, where I had 5 dogs and 3 cats. All of whom were rescued from near death. I am currently funding their continuous care. I have helped with animal sterilization programmes and stray dog feeding programmes. I fostered both kittens and puppies for animal charities, into my home with my gang of animals. My own animals were also kind and patient with foster animals, and enjoyed playing with them and encouraging their development.
