Hi @fiorus welcome to Hive. I'm @palomap3 from Lovesniper OCD team.

Aww, I'm an animal lover, how wonderful that you work with them professionally, they are such pure beings. Yes, it must be hard to be separated from your family at such a young age, but as you say, it gives you experiences and people who will enrich your life. You have an excellent mentor in @rlathulerie, so I'll just tell you to follow her advice and leave you with some information. I recommend these communities to start exploring: Hive Pets, Hive Book Club and Worldmappin.

Tips and information as a Hive newbie here: newbie guide.

Communities you might like that are part of the OCD Communities Incubation Program. Important: read their rules and post in the one that fits your content.

Have a good day!
