Hi, Val. I'm Alice and live in New York state. I have 7 cats of my own, and currently have 6 fosters, all young to middle aged adults. I foster for a rescue group, and tend to get the hardcases to tame.

For cameras: Nikon and Canon are good brands. You can spend from a couple hundred bucks to over 1000, but you can get a nice one with software for about $250.

I'm so glad you already know some folks here!
