This will be my third Expo. I'm going with my Feline Co-Coordinator and wonderful partner, Kim. We're from South Bend, IN but will be driving to Chicago and flying out of OHare as it's a good $300 savings. I'm really looking forward to all the Kitten-focused workshops and sessions and will be attending the Monday learning lab on kittens. Kim is going to the Fostering learning lab! We're both looking forward to learning new things as we're always looking to improve our program. Although we're both in the cat side of things, we're not anti-dog by any means.
I'm hoping to shake Jackson Galaxy's hand! He has done so much for the cat community by promoting enrichment activities for owned cats and being a great example for cat lovers the world around. I don't 100% agree with every word he says and thing he does, but that goes for just about anybody, and I definitely think the advice that he gives on his show and in other forums is solid and helpful. Cat behavior is a mystery to too many people and I think he brings a lot of light to the subject.
PetsConnect! is a small, foster-only, volunteer rescue group in the South Bend, IN / Michiana area. We rescue dogs, cats, and birds, but in the past have also placed everything from chickens to small rodents to horses. We are working to build a no-more-homeless-pets community by supporting adoption, relieving the burden on local open-admission shelters, and assisting in community spay/neuter efforts.
