Pet Nanny owner Janet Conner recently attended the 14th annual, Compassionate Feast, at the Michigan League Ballroom in Ann Arbor.  This fundraiser raised money for the Huron Valley Humane Society. The featured guest speaker was Jackson Galaxy popularly known as “The Cat Daddy”, and host, executive producer of Animal Planet’s long running hit show “My Cat from Hell.” Jan is a proud supporter of the Humane Society and is always looking to help animals in need.
