  • Dani's knack for finding and caring for cats in need of extra love first manifested in early childhood, with multiple felines following them home from school over the years.
  • A long-time apartment dweller, they have arranged their home and schedule to cater to the needs of their two cats, River and Tundra. The former lives with asthma and anxiety, the latter partial blindness and trauma.
