Cat chats with Dr Peri Wolff who has been the WDA’s executive manager since 2019. Few people know about Peri’s adventurous past. She used to treat film stars and made sure the wolves, monkeys and tigers were up for the job when the stage lights came on. Wild animals are her passion, but pot-bellied pigs are her secret treat. Besides holding the WDA together, Peri looks after the pet pigs of Los Angeles and surroundings. Some of her patients play the piano, have learned how to deal with emergency scenarios and sleep in their owners’ bed. And Peri just can’t get enough of them. She might not want to hear it, but I believe she is a true pig whisperer. https://www.wildlifedisease.org/PersonifyEbusiness/About-Us/Our-People/Executive-Management<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2085497/open_sms">We'd love to hear from you ... share your thoughts, feedback and ideas.</a>
