If there's one thing that's been a constant in my life, it's my love for cats. I've been a proud cat lady for as long as I can remember, finding endless joy and companionship in the company of these furry felines.

When the pandemic hit in 2020, and shelters began overflowing with cats and kittens in need, my husband and I knew we had to do something to help. So, we took the leap and decided to foster our first litter of kittens. Little did we know, it would be the start of an incredible journey.

After the initial pandemic chaos settled, we made a decision, we were going to continue fostering. It wasn't just about helping during a crisis anymore; it became a fundamental part of who we were. And in 2023, we took our fostering journey to the next level by starting to foster for Meowy Matchmakers Cat Rescue. Working with them has been incredibly rewarding, and we've been able to make a real difference in the lives of many cats and kittens.

Becoming a part of Meowy Matchmakers as a foster has been wonderful, but my journey didn't stop there. In 2024, I was honored to have the opportunity to join the board of directors at Meowy Matchmakers Cat Rescue, where I now focus on marketing and social media. It's a role that combines my passion for cats with my skills as a graphic designer, and I couldn't be happier. In 2026, I joined the adoptions team and have enjoyed helping place cats in their forever homes. I'm grateful for the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of cats and kittens every day, and I can't wait to see what the future holds.
