She joined the Wild Rose team in 2016 and loves working with the cats, enjoying their unique personalities. No two days are ever the same and that's just the way she likes it.

She has a special love of genetics & cat colors, finding them fascinating and is always happy to share her knowledge. When not at work, Cassandra is an avid reader and can often be found with her nose in a new book every week.
