How The Menagerie came to be

I grew up in a family that always had two 75 to 95 pound dogs and sometimes had rabbits, rats, mice, turtles, snakes, hermit crabs, or fish.  From my parents I learned to respect others and enjoy our differences as making us unique.   I had many opportunities to learn about nature – including Hidden Villa, a working farm in Los Altos Hills, which has numerous educational programs.  Every summer, I went to their summer camp. There I learned a deep respect for animals, a respect that led me to become vegetarian, foster orphaned kittens, and work at the humane society.

When I moved out of my cat-allergic parents’ house, I promptly went to the shelter and got a pair of slightly old, black cats.  Since then, I have shared my life with dogs, cats, and house rabbits.

In 2005, after working at the Berkeley-East Bay Humane Society and adding much to my knowledge of animal care, I started The Menagerie in order to make up for our local lack of non-franchised pet care that is both personal AND professional. I look forward to serving your needs.
