Cats & dogs; rescue and rehabilitation, getting them socialised ready to find their forever homes!
Beschreibung
Hi I'm Leigh-Anne, a cat and dog lover based in London, looking for adventure and purpose. 2025 is the time I need to DO SOMETHING, make a change, see what's out there, find my purpose, and right now I feel very drawn to working with rescue dogs and cats.
Having grown up with various pets including a dog for 12 years and 2 cat brothers for almost 20 years after that, I know the joy that animals can bring. I adopted (foster failed!) an older rescue cat when I moved to London and since she has been the last of my pets to cross over the rainbow bridge, I find myself a bit lost without some sort of floof in my life. People always say that dogs are in tune with human emotion, and this is true, but I never knew cats could be the same before getting ours. My boy Riley (one of the brothers) saw me through some tough times, and I will never forget him.
I know first hand the positive impact the unconditional love of an animal can have on my own health, and I get enormous satisfaction from loving them in return, they truly are my "happy place".
I helped nurse my cats through their end of life illnesses, and have volunteered at Celia Hammond here in London, so I know how tough (and messy!) animal care can be, but to know I have made a positive difference to the life of a creature who can't ask for help, is the ultimate reward.
I have a can-do attitude, enjoy working with others while also using my own initiative, and am ready to get stuck in!
I want to use my knowledge, skills and compassion to help cats and dogs who are most vulnerable, whilst learning more along the way to increase my impact, and who knows - maybe even find my forever purpose.Interessengebiete

Was könntest du arbeiten?
20+ years taking care of my pet cats; including helping them through end of life illnesses, seizures, weakness and toilet troubles. I was always the only one who could trim their claws, and bathe them if/when needed.
I have become the go-to cat lady with my neighbours and have been involved in 4 cat rescues in my neighbourhood, including the tricky task of safely getting a lost cat out of the mechanism of a reclining sofa!
Whilst my experience with dogs was mainly in my childhood, I currently go in to take care of a neighbours dog regularly while they are at work. She is deaf and a bit forgetful so a delicate touch and patience is needed for her comfort.
I am pretty handy when it comes to DIY, fixing things, and even helped build a catio and catproofed the garden for my adopted cat.
I used to work occasionally with my dad when he was a painter/decorator, so I am good at painting walls + woodwork etc.
I am a silversmith and make jewellery, and am very crafty and arty in general.
I have had several years of Front of House experience in theatres, and enjoy working with people - colleagues and customers.Alter

Beyza (the lead on site and vet) is a lovely person, and always made me feel included even with the language barrier - the day out at the beach with her friends for volleyball and barbeque was a social highlight! She is incredibly… read more
