I started out at Tree House as a caregiver volunteer in May 2014 after just completing my junior year of high school. I was not able to have pets of my own and I was considering a career in veterinary medicine, so that prompted me to volunteer. When anyone comes to Tree House, our shelter staff are the first people they meet. Along with our volunteers, they’re the shining stars of Tree House: part kitty caretaker, part matchmaker. I have been a part of this community for many years, and I am passionate about helping cats thrive.
