Hi and welcome to my little corner of the world! I’m CC and this blog is about my life of taking in and caring for cats and dogs while saving money whenever and wherever possible. Saving money is a necessity when you have (currently) nine cats and dogs.
Since 2000, I have been taking in cats and dogs that have been dumped, abandoned, or just found themselves without a home near my house. In 2020, I adopted my first cat from a rescue organization. He was a behavioral handful that required innovation, time, and patience.
No matter where any of the animals I’ve taken in have come from, I’ve learned valuable lessons from nearly all of them and that’s why I started this blog. I wanted to share what I have learned along the way and to pass along that knowledge to others who may find themselves dealing with the same issue, or just need a good reference website.
Over the years, I’ve learned some tips and tricks to help take care of everyone, including myself, very affordably and effectively. I’ve literally spent thousands of hours online researching things that arise and pouring over pet care books that I’ve purchased, that I want to share with you, my reader, to help make your and your pet’s life better. I’ve also made a lot of animal-related purchases over the years and I share the ones that I recommend on my Amazon page located here and on the ‘Shop’ tab at the top of the page on the right.
Make sure you sign up for my post updates and please share my blog with other pet owners so my knowledge and research can help as many other pet owners as possible.
