Going on a vacation or business trip? Not sure what to do with your uncommon pets while you're away? Fur and Feather can help! We offer insured and bonded pet sitting in your Oakland, CA home by a Registered Veterinary Technician with 30 years experience. We care for:

- All types of birds, from parrots to backyard chickens
- Reptiles
- Amphibians
- Fish
- Pocket Pets like rab

bits, guinea pigs, rats and ferrets
- Invertebrates (yes, even tarantulas!)
- Cats (even though we specialize in exotic pets, we love to care for cats as well!)

I have extensive husbandry and veterinary training in exotic, zoo and wildlife medicine so that you can rest easy knowing that your feathered, scaly and furred friends are in good hands. I relish the challenge of working with exotic animals, and I include the Oakland Zoo and wildlife projects in Botswana and Malawi among my previous employers. I love to donate my time whenever possible, and I have spent a significant amount of time volunteering with wildlife rehabilitation organizations both locally and abroad. I regularly attend Continuing Education conferences and presentations in order to keep up-to-date on the latest standards of care in exotic medicine and husbandry. Give us a call or drop us a line to schedule your Meet and Greet appointment today!

Say hello to our newest (and most colorful) client, Louis! 🦜

Louis is a Double Yellow-Headed Amazon, and while his vibrant feathers are a showstopper, it’s his big personality that really takes the cake. He spent most of my visit showing off his impressive climbing skills and giving me a very serious "vibe check" from his favorite perch.

The Louis Lowdown:

The Look: That iconic yellow crown—the mark of true parrot royalty.

The Vibe: Bold, curious, and 100% convinced he’s the main character of this house.

Favorite Pastime: Meticulously destroying toilet paper tubes and anything else he can get his beak on!

Welcome to the flock, Louis!

How cute is our newest boarder, Jerome the Syrian hamster? Just look at those tiny toes! Jerome recently spent an entire month at Fur and Feather headquarters, and he was so much fun to host.

✨️ Did you know your small pets need special care too? ✨

​We love our clients of all sizes—especially the adorable, tiny ones like hamsters, rats, mice, and guinea pigs! Just because they're small doesn't mean their needs are! Check out our blog post featuring tons of care tips for small pets!

Our three-legged desert tortoise, Franklin, disappeared Monday, June 23rd from our backyard off Norbridge by BART. Our Ring camera shows him standing in the middle of our yard one minute and gone the next. We have looked in every nook and cranny in our small backyard and he’s simply vanished. No holes under the fence for him to have escaped and no sign of him on any of the cameras that surround our home.

He’s 32 years old, weighs 6 lbs and yes…only has three legs. He’s a valuable and dearly loved family member. If you find him or see him, please let me know.

*My previous post on Tuesday when we realized he was gone was declined for reasons unknown, so I’m trying to again.
