Blu was born and raised in Oregon and has had a love for animals since they were little. Growing up in the country, animals both pets and wildlife surrounded them. They would watch the bats from the barn fly overhead at night and catch frogs at the pond in the summer. After moving to the city their passion for animals continued. They volunteered with FIDO, a pet food bank in Oregon City with their family. They hope to be able to apply and attend school to become a licensed veterinary technician in the future. In their free time, they enjoy playing video games with their partner, reading, and painting. They moved out with their partner and cats (Myla, age 3, and April, age 4) in August of 2023 and began working at AEVC as a receptionist in June of 2024. They recently added a third cat (Professor Snipperton, age 15) and a Western Hognose (Werm/Dr. Evil, age 2) to the family and are excited for the journey ahead.
