What started as a tribute to honor the memory of his beloved Sunny Girl turned into a consuming passion to help rescue shelter pets, especially cats. Christopher’s dedication to saving cats propelled him to Assistant Director of Staten Island Hope Animal Rescue, and from 2019-2021, he was the Foster/Adoption Manager for the New York branch of Louie’s Legacy, one of the country’s largest foster-based animal rescues. Chris and his wife, Catherine, have fostered more than 300 cats and kittens, including those with special needs and bottle-kittens. Having taken traumatized cats into his home, Christopher has gained valuable experience helping them overcome fears and behavioral challenges. Aside from his work in animal rescue, Christopher is an award-winning screenwriter. Most recently, his screenplay “America’s Most Haunted Spooky Ghost-Hunting Adventures In The Paranormal” was awarded Best Short Script at the 2022 Boston Horror Comedy Film Festival. Some of his other short scripts were produced by Lake Films and have won awards at festivals around the country.
