Hello! I’m Brandie. I grew up in Texas around the Houston area but got here as quick as I could. I have 3 absolutely wonderful kids. My oldest moved here first and I followed about 6 years ago now. My middle son is autistic and has taught me a lot about the kind of person that…
I am originally from Illinois where I was a Veterinary Technician and surgical tech for a large five doctor clinic. While working for the veterinarian my husband and I started fostering the kittens that were regularly dumped on the steps of the clinic. Over the years we have fostered numerous litters of kittens and have…
After retiring after almost 32 years of service in the DoD industry, she was looking for an animal-related volunteer gig close to home and found Wild Blue (through her friends Karen and Mike (yes, OUR Mike)). This was in February of 2012. She started by cleaning litter boxes in the very small sanctuary (before it…
Dianne, a Colorado native, worked in the insurance industry most of her business life and finally retired in 2011. She divides her time between gardening her five acres of shade in the Black Forest, travel with her husband, Doug, and volunteering at Wild Blue. As a self-professed “crazy cat lady” Dianne likes that she can…

Hi Wildblue! I can’t believe it’s been over a year since we said goodbye to our loving sweet Perry cat. After he passed, I decided to honor him by volunteering with Wildblue to help as many cats as possible. Wildblue has given me the opportunity to learn and create friendships with other volunteers who share…
Hello my Wild Blue Friends and Family! My husband and I moved from Massachusetts in 2001 and raised a family of 3, all of which grew up very fast. As I’ve been busy raising a family I moved very far from a large family and many friends. Our families have always been animal lovers and…
Hi Wild Blue Friends, My name is Chris and I am fairly new to Wild Blue. I have been volunteering on the TNR team. I enjoy working with people, being outside and helping cats live happy lives. Whenever I am out trapping cats I learn something new every time. Cats are amazing animals and many…
I can’t believe this May will be six years with Wild Blue. It all started when I went to get some cat food at the Petco in University Village, and first met Melinda. She was of course trying to get me to hold some kittens, and I said, “No thank-you, I already have four cats, but I…
