Hi! My name is Kathy S. , close friends and family often refer to me as just "Kat". Part of this may be due to the fact that my first word as a child was "MEOW" or maybe it had something to do with my obsession for collecting anything to do with cats over the years! 

I grew up in the Omaha area with a family of animal lovers where we always had a cat or two, dogs, fish, gerbils, you name it!  On the weekends during the school year and sometimes for weeks at a time during the summer I always looked forward to visiting my grandparents and my country cousins to experience life on the farm.  There I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with the animals that we couldn't keep in the city such as sheep, goats, pigs, cows, chickens, and horses.  At a young age I was always determined to tame every wild farm cat I could get my hands on. 

Back in the early 80's as I was finishing up my last couple years of high school my parents bought an acreage in the rural Louisville/Plattsmouth area and we settled in close to all our country relatives.  I was in heaven!  After graduating from Plattsmouth high school in 1983 I attended Wayne State College where I earned a degree in Sociology and Psychology.  I met my husband Ron there and we got married the year before we graduated from WSC.  We have 3 children- Brandon and Kaleigh who are both in their 20's and Mara- our teenage daughter who still lives at home with us.  We also have two beautiful granddaughters (who are cat lovers like their Grandma!)  Recently my parents retired and moved back into town so my family who had been residing in the Papillion area for 13 years moved out to the farm in Louisville. 

Our animal family has now expanded to include 15 cats, 3 dogs, 3 rabbits, and two rats. It isn't unusual for us to see foxes, wild turkeys, deer and raccoons hanging out on our acreage on any given day as well.  We hope to add some traditional farm animals in the future. 

As you can see I have had a lot of experience caring for all types of animals throughout my life and look forward to the opportunity to help you take care of yours!
