Hi! My name is Vanessa Voerman and I’m very proud to be a member of this great team of individuals. Improving the quality of life for animals in need is something I’m pleased to be involved with. Animals give us so much pleasure and don’t ask for much in return, so I love being able to give back for the greater good.

Even with my allergies I am a lover of all animals – with a particular fondness for cats. I grew up with a succession of various pets (including cats, hamsters, gerbils, mice, goldfish, and a turtle!), so am well versed in their individual idiosyncrasies!

We currently have six felines strutting their stuff around the house – Thomasina, Clem, Alvin, Sabrina, Pythagoras, and Dexter. As you can probably tell, we have a lot of fun coming up with names as unique as they are!

We’re having a blast with Ceilidh for Critters and are really pumped at how well everything is going. It’s hard to believe that Angela’s little idea has grown so big, so fast! We’re excited that our hard work is paying off so well (and supporting the well-being of our furry, four-legged friends!).

You can do your part, too: in the words of Bob Barker, "Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered."
