Biography

I have been an animal lover since I was a little girl. I knew as a child that helping animals was going to be my purpose in life. Becoming a Veterinarian was my dream. I remember walking home from school on a rainy day and I heard the loudest meow from the bushes and I found a tiny little kitten drenched in water. It was probably only a week old because it couldn’t even see. I immediately took it in my arms, went home and asked my mother if I could keep her. This is where saving animals all started for me. Luckily a passion for animals ran in the family on my mother’s side so by the time I was in high school we had rescued about 8 cats. She would always tell me the day I get married she will move to the Mutsugoro-Animal Kingdom in Hokkaido, Japan where she can live with animals from all walks of life.

Tragedy struck my life when I was 17. I was a typical teenager happy and excited to move away from home to go to college. I had gotten accepted to Cal Poly Pomona where I was going to study Veterinary Science. Unfortunately, my mother was murdered by my stepfather and my plans for college were out the door. I was in no shape financially or mentally to move away alone to pursue my dreams. It was a very difficult time in my life however, these were the cards I was dealt with but I persevered.

Today I am not a Veterinarian but I dedicate myself in trying to help and rescue many animals possible that do not have a voice. If it wasn’t for my beloved cat Rocko, I would have never been able to get through life by myself. He was my angel and best friend. He gave me the strength and will to live. It’s amazing how a pet can make such a difference in a person’s life by giving us their unconditional love. I sometimes wonder if I was an animal my life before this crazy human existence.

In 2006, I volunteered at the L.A Animal Services and fostered kitties and found them great homes. I ended up meeting Linda Blair (Linda Blair World Heart Foundation) and we quickly became friends and I asked her if there was anything I can do to help. Collaborating with Linda in rescuing dogs I quickly learned that one of the biggest problems besides the statistics of euthanasia was the disease that these animals were exposed to. Just like humans animals immune system breaks down from stress, depression, lack of sleep and poor nutrition. Most dogs and cats that are placed in these shelters develop upper respiratory infections causing such symptoms as a runny nose or eyes, a sore throat, coughing, inflammation of the mouth and sneezing. It broke my heart to watch these poor animals get sick and I couldn’t do anything about it. I asked myself,
“Are all these animals given antibiotics to fight these diseases”? I knew in my heart the answer was no. They’re all waiting to get sick to the point which their symptoms become so severe that they even develop pneumonia and ulcers of the tongue and become so miserable that they eventually have to be put down.

There was a cat that reminded me of my beloved Rocko and I had to take him home with me. He was skin and bones and off course he had URI. It took 8 months for his immune system to be back to normal. It cost me allot money for these antibiotics. I started to calculate how much it would cost for each rescue and being charged full price for the medication. Unfortunately, I have come across Vets that are more concerned about money than truly caring for these animals just like doctors that we encounter.

This is when I knew that I had to for my own non-profit organization so I could help assist rescue organizations in treating these abused and abandoned animals that deserve to live.

We are a non-profit tax deductible organization. My aspirations are to develop a Community Animal Treatment Center (C.A.T) in Downtown Los Angeles that will take more of a Homeopathic / Holistic approach in treating the animals in our care as well as helping to provide an eco friendly environment for the community. The animals that we rescue from the shelters will be rehabilitated and taken to homebound elderly people, kids in foster care as well as children’s hospital for therapy. I’m looking to garnish support and advice from the Homeopathic Veterinary Community and are seeking donations and financial support from people who care about the well being of the unfortunate animals of our society and physical support for this worthwhile endeavor.

Thank you very much and I look forward to hearing your thoughts; guidance and input in helping me make a better life for these sentient beings that need us more than ever.
