About Me
I am a 52 y.o. F living w/my cat, Milo, in Seattle, Washington. I am the woman who started the Seattle Animal Saviors group to delete the overpopulation of unwanted animals and give the ones we can, the best possible lives to fulfill their souls. This is a peaceful animal activists/lovers brainstorming for peaceful actions to implement group and is not Christian by definition. It's main focus is doing away with animal overpopulation, especially in Seattle, Wa. The light shines on animals here and is not religious in nature
Do to the religious confusion for Christians, interpreting the word, "Savior" to mean Christ, so I have changed it's name. Our group is now called: animalcompassion.

It's really nice to know someone so dedicated to animals. They are not just pets to me, but children. I used to live in Seattle and would bring stray cats to the Phinney Ridge vet, have them spayed/neutered, and work with the vets to find homes for them. Once when I had 8 gerbils, a little girl in the waiting room called me the gerbil man! Have a nice weekend, Frank
