Hi! I’m Denise, currently living in the Italian Alps. I share my home with my husband and our lovely white cat, and I have a deep passion for baking sourdough bread and sweet treats from around the world. I’m not only a baking enthusiast, I’m also a pastry and cappuccino nerd, always looking for new cafés to explore. Breakfast is my favorite moment of the day! :)
My cat Clea is a 5-year-old, short-haired white cat. I adore her and she truly feels like a sister to me. I love bonding with her through play sessions and teaching her little tricks, which strengthens our connection and keeps her mentally stimulated.
I first discovered Surfers for Strays while browsing online for international animal rescue organizations. I liked their practical, hands-on approach and the way people work together to help animals in need. The combination of kindness and collaboration felt meaningful to me, and I knew I wanted to contribute in some way.
As a volunteer with Surfers for Strays, I will be contributing to grant writing and marketing. I’m excited to help gather new resources and raise awareness to support the organization’s mission and promote animal welfare. 🙂
