Fiona has extensive experience in the animal care field. She has volunteered at the RSPCA and also fosters dogs and cats for local rescues. Fiona is currently completing her Certificate 4 in Companion Animal Studies and is particularly interested in the psychology and behaviour of pets. She loves being able to win over particularly nervous pets and has been nicknamed “the cat whisperer” by Sharon. Fiona has a gorgeous and cheeky dog, Freya (pictured), and three foster-fail cats – Pharaoh, Penelope and Shadow. A 'foster-fail' is what happens when you were supposed to give the cat back after fostering but decided to keep it! She has completed her Pet First Aid Certificate.
