Nancy Vandermey, Author

I’ve been a volunteer at EFBC/FCC since I moved to California in the fall of 1991, amassing a large collection of cat info and photos. I’ve gone on several vacations with a wild cat theme – here are stories and photos of my trips to: We don’t go in with most of the cats, but here are photos of me with some of the younger or friendlier cats.
