I’d always wanted to have lots of cats and dogs in my home.
However, I lived in an apartment in the city, and they were strict about animals.
Each apartment was only allowed one pet. So, you had to think carefully about the animal to bring home. I opted to get a cat since they could stay indoors for hours while I was at work. We did go to the park and on adventures when I had free time. But, with time, I knew I wanted more pets. So, I saved hard to buy a house in a great location with a fenced in backyard. Luckily, I landed on the most amazing surprise. A small 5 acre farm was for sale away from the city. I’d have to drive a bit of a distance to and from work, but it was worth it. After moving in with my cat, I got to work rescuing more pets and giving them a proper home. At the same time I needed to sort out the heating, cooling, and ventilation in my new home. Having pets living indoors means you need better ways to manage your indoor air quality. I also had to handle the heating and cooling to keep my pets comfortable. I was referred to a specific HVAC business by a friend that knew the right HVAC systems for homes with lots of pets. The HVAC professional who came to my farm was amazing, and even gave me more tips. He explained I needed special air filters for the HVAC system, and a whole-home air purification unit.
