Description
I'm Fiona the host of the podcast! I was inspired to create this podcast from my original role as volunteer at a cat sanctuary. It was the place I fell in love with an amazing FIV cat called Gianburrasca who was the love of my life. I love cats more than anything else in the world. They are what makes the world beautiful inspiring and magical! I know there are so many amazing cats in the world but behind every cat there is also an amazing human who can share their story! I believe in TNR, sterilisation, promotion of disabled cats who can live a rich and fulfilling life! So together we can share their stories and support each other as part of this amazing cat community!
