Hi! I'm Matteo, and ever since I was little, I've loved animals and have always felt the need to take care of them. Throughout my life, I've noticed how mistreated and malnourished many pets are, and that has inspired me to create Wishes and Whiskers™. Besides this non-profit organization, some of my passions include tennis, which I have played for 12 years, piano, and pickleball. I'm also a junior attending The Kinkaid School.
