BIO:
People often ask how I ended up as a pet detective for lost cats.
To explain how it all started, I show them a photo from years ago when I lived on a horse farm in Texas. This was my little cabin on Canyon Lake with my horse, Red Rabbit and my sweet snuggler cat, Mister Purr. When Mister Purr went missing for 3 days, I learned first-hand what it feels like to have a lost cat. No one helped me search or truly understood my panic.
I got a lot of random advice from people who'd never found a lost cat in their life. If I had followed their suggestions like "Put some food and his litter box outside!" Mr. Purr would have died behind this wooden fence, locked in a rancher's metal shipping container. I will never forget the joy and relief of finding Mr Purr still alive, and I'll never forget the days of panic and intense stress.
Mister Purr is why I do lost cat search & rescue.
My mission is to save lost cats who might die otherwise if people do not understand all the things I learned and discovered in the last nine years. I am here to support the people in panic mode who are also getting an earful of the old wives tales and bad advice.
I will never forget the experience of my own lost cat story. And I will never forget you, my beloved Mister Purr.
