Was a foster mom for multiple litters of kittens over the past 2 years, and absolutely loved it. Unfortunately currently renting a home where multiple pets are not allowed. Also have had multiple dogs since I was a child, always having high energy breeds, so I am used to going on long walks and dog parks with them.
