Louise Neu:  Board Member, Treasurer

"In the late 70s, I had excellent training from the two cats of my housemate, Karen, Faux Pas and Underfoot, on how to live with cats.

Since that time, I have honed my skills, thanks to the good tutelage of Aurianna, the Handsomest Boy in the World; Melissa, the Pretty Little Princess; and Zakia, the Fabulous Redhead.

When I am not living a cat-focused existence, my working life has been mainly in arts and education organizations and associations, some community based, some with a national focus, in administrative and programmatic capacities.

The other joys of my live life include folk music and dance, caving, body psychotherapy, food, books, and friends."
