Meet Connie, a passionate advocate for cats and feline aficionado. Having grown up surrounded by the company of cats, Connie developed a deep bond and understanding of these precious animals. Connie began her volunteer work at a local MSPCA when she was in high school, and continues to volunteer for several local animal shelters and organizations. Today, fostering kittens has become an integral part of Connie's life. She takes in foster kittens whenever possible, nurturing them until they are healthy and strong, and meets with potential adopters to find them loving, forever homes.
When she's not busy caring for cats, Connie finds joy and inspiration through her other passions: her career in healthcare IT, food, and travel. Exploring different corners of the world, she seeks out new experiences, cultures and cuisines, and, of course, encounters with diverse feline friends along the way. This is all made possible by her remote-based work allowing the flexibility needed for her to hone in on her passions as a cat caretaker and globe-trotter.

Meet Kai and Keanu, brothers who defied the odds and triumphed over a challenging start in life.
