Get To Know Becca

How long have you been a part of ACS? Why did you get involved?

“I’ve been at ACS for 4 ½ years, starting in the cattery. My sister was working here at the time and said it was a great place to work. I’ve always wanted to work with animals so I thought it was perfect for me.”

Are you a dog person or a cat person?

“Cats all the way. I love dogs, too. But I got my start here in the cattery, and they’re just so quiet and sweet. I love them.”

What’s your favorite part of your job?

“Bringing in animals that have no other options left and watching them go home. Even if they’re here for a while, providing them with a better life than they had before is so rewarding.”

Tell us about your pets!

“I have two cats and one dog at home. One of the cats is an ACS alumni who came in with some pretty bad wounds. But we nursed him back to health and over the course of six months I knew I had to take him home.”

Sponsor a pet! Tell us about your best friend at ACS and why he/she deserves to be adopted!

“Tony Stark! We only recently took him in, but he’s FIV and FeLV positive. We want to give people more education about these feline conditions and show them that it’s not as bad as it sounds. Too many other shelters quickly euthanize cats with these conditions, when they’re more than capable of still living long, happy lives.”

What do you think ACS needs donated the most?

“Monetary donations are always needed and appreciated. Keeping the lights on and the utilities running is just as important as making sure our animals have enough food, and also allows us to get the enrichment items that the animals need for rehab and quality of life.”
