And here we are 👋🏼 time to introduce myself.
I’m Mercedes, and the one in my arms is Mía, who I adopted 8 years ago. Mía showed up one afternoon at the Cafe where I used to work. I promised her that if she was still there by the end of my shift, I’d take her home. And I did.
It wasn’t easy, it took 3 years to earn her trust, for her to sleep on me, and fully open up. Mía was scared, defensive, mistreated… and honestly, a bit grumpy too 😅.
After living together for a few years, I found a kitten on the street, and — much to Mía’s dismay — I started fostering baby cats. In total, 31 little ones passed through our home. Thirty found loving families, one of them didn’t make it 💫 sometimes, even when you give it your all, it’s just not enough.
I’m originally from Argentina, and I’ve been living in Australia for a year now. My sweet girl was too old to make the trip, so she stayed with my family, surrounded by love. A few months ago, she lay down for a nap… and didn’t wake up. As hard as it is to let go, knowing it happened peacefully brought us a lot of comfort.
That moment made me realize I could keep doing what I love from here — caring for animals. While I travel and work around Australia, I’ve found the perfect match in Pet Sitting 💘What could be better than some time off, in the best company?
Grateful to every family who has trusted me so far, and excited to meet all those yet to come. Let’s keep going!
