Testimonials
Dr. Melinda Barkley, DVM
I am a small animal veterinarian with a special appreciation for cats. I met Penny 12 years ago through a local felind shelter that was working with our veterinary group. Penny also connected me with a family needing to re-home a horse, and Forest now is the love of my life .Penny is one of the most decicated felinc caregivers I have known. She will work to treat just about any condition in her pets, and has the special ability to be patient with the unique social and biological nature of the cat. Penny's experience makes her a valuable resource for our precious feline friends
Dr. Marcia Fulton, DVM
I have known Penny for as long as I have been in Oregon (almost 20 years now). We met while working for local humane groups, specifically those supporting homeless felines in the Salem-Keizer area. Penny is an outstanding, hardworking woman, and possibly the best friend a feline can have. I've seen her put in selfless numbers of hours taking care of the cats in her care. She is uniquely qualified to provide both petsitting and nursing care for your cats; which is a huge benefit since more than half of all boardings require some type of medical treatment. Penny knows cats - their temperament, behaviors, and the special needs which makes them cats. Rest assured Penny will go to the 9th degree for your cat - ALWAYS!
Melinda Rossow, Animal Advocate & Rescuer
Penny and I have been rescuing cats together for the past 16 years. Penny is by far the best cat handler I know. She is completely unintimated by feral or fearful cats and thas a remarkable way of calming them. Over the years Penny has turned many feral kittens into loving, adoptable pets, and her expertise in handling medical situations is outstanding. As a rescue community we have often said that Penny is a miracle worker bringing sick, rescued kittens or adult cats back from the brink of death. Not only does Penny have a strong expertise when it comes to cats, she also has a heart filled with compassion....always rooting for the underdog, or cat, and going the extra mile to save one. It has been a privelege to serve our community alongside her all these years.
