...she is self professed cat lover. She provides much of the health care to the animals because she can give shots. She is also the number one barn animal caretaker and does a great job making sure everyone has what they need. She works at our local hospital as a monitor tech in the Special Care Unit. Despite her busy schedule as a full time student and a full time worker she has time to care for the animals and provide a favored lap for the kitties.
