During her career as a nurse, she
developed a passion and love for animals. She started showing her passion
towards taking care of animals by helping out her friend Sally at an animal
shelter during her work at St. John’s Hospital. She would be able to help out
with the animals because the shelter was close to work. She still continues
this passion today with helping out animals. She has three cats at her house,
but she sometimes provides shelter for stray cats in her garage. Because stray
cats come to use her garage as shelter, she ends up feeding them some of the
cat food she has in her house. She will especially either help them herself, or
find the appropriate help, if she finds a cat that is pregnant or suffering
from hunger. The peak of kitten season
is from late April to early September, which is where many unwanted or homeless
cats are born. Many shelters around the nation even kill unwanted or abandoned
cats at the rate of one per minute (“SPAY”). Because of so many kittens being
born, she would definitely take in another cat if she could. Reasons like this
are why she tries to take care of the cats as much as she can sometimes, even
though she knows not every shelter is like that. Overall, she tries to be a
good samaritan with animals, by showing her compassionate side.
