Receptionist/Administrative Assistant
Cindy
Cindy has always had a love for animals. As a small child and up into her teens she was the girl that brought home every stray animal she came across and loved being a part of the local 4-H club. She has lived in Canandaigua for nearly all her life, except for a move to Ohio where she worked for a county Humane Society. She has also worked for a Wildlife Education group and has also attended school at Medaille College in Buffalo.
She still lives in Canandaigua with her husband Brian. Together they have 7 children, 3 grandchildren, their dogs Mike the Jack Russell & Amber the Australian Cattle Dog/ Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, Siamese cat Ella, blind Amazon parrot Gilligan, African Pygmy Hedgehog Henry, and chinchilla brothers Felix & Oscar.
When she's not at work, she's usually spending time with family and her pets or outside where she enjoys hiking, kayaking and just being out in nature!

He grew up in his hometown Charlotte, North Carolina and now lives in the Henrietta area where he helps his boyfriend take care of brother and sister Maine Coon cats, Paulie and Alia.
