Personal companion-animal care
Independent, unpaid care · Ferrets approximately 2003–2015; dog care ongoing
Cared for 21 ferrets cumulatively during approximately 2003–2015, including surrendered animals referred by the Louisiana SPCA; ongoing care of dogs.
- Maintained feeding, watering, habitat-cleaning and enrichment routines.
- Observed health and behavior, administered vet-prescribed medication, and handled transport and care records.
Over several years, the Louisiana SPCA in New Orleans contacted me about surrendered ferrets, which I took into my own long-term care.
