Fiddler

A couple of friends started feeding a stray cat that wandered into their yard in early 2017. A couple months later she had four kittens in their upstairs closet. I took this perfect floofy angel off their hands. Fiddler is super friendly but won’t hesitate to knock your glassware off the counter.

Suki

I rescued Suki after moving to Sacramento in summer 2020. I found her on Craigslist. The guy who got rid of her had a newborn and was keeping her outside all the time because he didn’t know how to manage such a high energy dog. She’s an Austrailian cattle dog mix - a smart, eager-to-please, high-energy breed! She loves to learn and I do a lot of little tricks with her. She is named after a character in Avatar the Last Airbender.

Sokka

I got Sokka from Sacramento Independent Animal Rescuers in January 2021. He loves to snuggle. He came to me very shy, but I spent some time working with a trainer to get his confidence up. He’s doing great, but he probably won’t ever be excited about new people. Sokka is also named after Avatar the Last Airbender, but I didn’t name him! The rescue named him and he came to me (and to Suki!) with his name. My sister found him for me on Petfinder and it felt like fate :)

The Turtles

Two red-eared sliders came home with me (as tiny babies) from Chinatown in Los Angeles circa 2014. The friend I’d gone to LA with passed away unexpectedly in 2017 and they’re a sweet reminder of her.
