I started in rescue as a volunteer for a local cat rescue.  After gaining a little experience, I realised I could probably do more if I became independent offering, trapping services to the local community.  I started with an automatic trap, then my husband made me a “drop trap” because a cat I was trying to help wouldn’t go inside the auto-trap.  The drop trap worked like a dream, and we ended up adopting the cat, who now lives a life of Riley with us!  Her name is Bentley.

While trying to help the local strays I developed a great relationship with several cat rescues, and now work with them providing the groundwork, that being: 

Trapping, transport, Investigation of feral colonies, vet runs, etc.. My good friend Mandy Child became curious about what I did and asked to come along one day, and now she is my right-hand woman!  She is a fantastic trapper and is great at “reeling me in” when I get a little over passionate about things!
