We have 3 cats, a hamster and some fish. My ads and my website state that we have cats and I also reiterate that on the phone/email BEFORE interviewing...this way anyone with allergies doesn't waste their time or my time with interviews. Having said that, I still end up with people coming to an interview and then saying.."oh...not sure little Johnny should be around cats, his dad is allergic" ugh! My cats are my family and will come before anything daycare related. They don't usually come out when the daycare kids are here but if they are spotted by a daycare kid they soon become the center of attentionThe kids just love them!
