Hi, my name is Aprille. I currently live in Pennsylvania, and I've been fostering, adopting, and caring for stray kitties since I was a little girl. Now I live with my four kitties, Cyra, Uma, Ozzy, and Charlie. Ozzy and Charlie are adopted strays. Having four cats is a handful, but they provide me with companionship, and I've learned a lot from them.
