Speakers and Presenters

  • We are pleased to have Shirley Scott who will be speaking during our lunch break.  Shirley is an Animal Communicator, author and artist. 

Since the majority of the felines at WFAC are re-homed they come with the experiences they have had in their past - Shirley has given us some valuable insights into what makes them tick.  We're sure you'll enjoy hearing what Shirley has to say!  Visit her on the web:  www.animaltalkhealing.com
