Adri, Alicia & Meka 

     I’ve always known I wanted to work with animals, even if I didn’t always know what that would look like. Some of my earliest memories involve caring for them. I got my first dog, Champ, when I was 10, and around the same time I began feeding stray cats. That’s how my first cat, Meka, came into my life when I was 13. Over the years, I continued caring for strays and, whenever possible, helped find them loving homes. In 2019, that same passion led to Alicia joining our family, bringing even more joy into our lives.​​

     I initially thought that becoming a veterinarian was my path, so I pursued that in college as a vet tech, interning at a veterinary clinic while also working at a local pet supply store. While that path ultimately wasn’t the right fit, working in pet supply gave me the opportunity to apply something I’d often heard from my mom—that the foundation of good health begins with proper nutrition—and see how those everyday choices can make a real difference.

     While I worked in pet supply stores, I eventually met my best friend and now business partner, Alondra, in late 2021. We quickly bonded over our shared passion for pet well-being.
