Jay grew up in California, where his love for animals was fostered from a young age. Since moving to Oregon, his passion for working with animals has only grown and he now is a proud pet parent of a chihuahua, spunky cat, a ball python, and a tarantula. In his off time, you will likely find him hiking by the river or seeking out some frozen yogurt, but there is nothing he enjoys more than volunteering with the Cat's Meow Cat Rescue.
