Why Fetch?

Most of my life, I’ve been proudly known as a cat lady, now also known as the snail lady! I’ve rarely met an animal I didn’t like. My house was filled with cats and dogs, country frogs, iguanas, and lizards, all of whom I adored.
As a budding college student, I adopted 7 cats, all of them rescues in one form or another. Those kitties taught me much about feline temperaments and special needs. I’ve cared for everything from kittens to senior cats, and administered pills, injections, liquid meds, cones of shame, and specially mixed foods. I’m fluent in meow-ese, and skilled at finding the right scritch spots for every cat. Currently, I have 2 domestic shorthairs. One of them was a hoarding-home rescue and now she’s the queen of the house! My other cat is an endearing love sponge that magically appears on any lap without the lap owner’s knowledge. He’s deaf, but we talk constantly. His meows put tornado sirens to shame.
A couple summers ago, we won carnival goldfish, and I vowed to give them a better life. That unleashed my fervent passion for aquatic life. 8 fish tanks later, I now have loads of freshwater fish (guppies, endlers, female bettas, tetras, danios, and corydoras).I also have and breed colorful mystery snails. If the fish could talk they would tell you the snails get most of my attention. My children definitely agree with this! As an aquarium enthusiast, I’m well versed at feeding limited and varied diets to community tanks, administering medications, quarantining fish, and doing copious water changes. I also know how important it is to care for and maintain these delicate water worlds. We can’t kiss and snuggle our aquatic pets, but I know how much we love them. Yes, I coo and talk to them all at my home, and I’ll do the same for yours.
I’m located in Fitchburg, Wisconsin, and would be happy to help care for pets in the Fitchburg, Verona, West Madison, and Middleton areas.
