I grew up in Syracuse NY and on the weekends we would go to either my grandmother's farm or my aunt's farm where I developed my love for animals and the countryside. We always had a cat in our family and later poodles (my mom's favorite kind of dog) and so I became very accustomed to the responsibility of taking care of animals and their different needs. When I moved to LA I missed having a companion animal and became involved with cat rescues from city shelters. All of my Kitties lived healthily until about 20 years old and I hope to provide that kind of caring and attention to your animal family members too! Keith Briggman
