Our Furry Family Members

We also have a few furry family members who are an integral part of our business. Maverick, our blue merle Mini Australian Shepherd, is our most loyal furry family member and official cat herder. He enjoys meeting new people, belly scratches, and playing with his kitties. Lady Glamourpuss and Sir Twinklepuss, our shaded golden Persians, are also part of the family. They enjoy playing, being pampered, and keeping everyone on their toes.
