(she/her)

Hi, I’m Nora. I grew up on Long Island and have lived in Bedstuy for the past 12 years. With a background in costume design I most recently owned a vintage shop. To my surprise the thing that brought me the most joy from that experience was having animals come to visit me! So many dogs stopped at my door to say hello and more than a handful of customers brought their cats in to meet me!

My first cat Sandy was a big old stray who always let me put her in baby doll dresses and take her for a walk in a stroller when I was 6. She slept in my arms every night. Now I have Ghost! A sweet boy with a lot of feelings, he was found in a trash can and came to me at 5 weeks old. He sleeps with his cheek on my cheek. He is the love of my life and I am always grateful for him.

When I look after another cat I always make sure to take care of them the way I want Ghost to be looked after, with a lot of care and playtime and love!
