Meet Nina
Nina Skowronski is a teacher, mentor, integrative health practitioner and lifestyle photographer with twenty-eight years of experience working at the intersection of somatic practice, contemplative inquiry, and personal development.
She is the author of The Path: Meditations for the Inner Life, a field guide with contemplative practices that helps readers access the hidden wisdom present in everyday encounters. Through group meditation facilitation and one-to-one mentorship Nina has developed a compassionate voice for bridging challenge and accessibility for everyday people navigating transition, chronic illness, and a guide for the ease and grace of living and dying.
She has been a dedicated rescue provider for communities of the lower Hudson Valley. Since 2020 she has been providing support to her community and residents through rescue and animal welfare for abandoned, pregnant and injured cats and kittens. Seeing the difference one rescue can make within a community inspired her to train and certify in TNR trap, neuter/spay, return. This was the catalyst to provide community education, advocacy with municipal officials, to foster a more compassionate and responsible relationship between the community and community cats. She enjoys sharing practices for animal welfare, working with medical providers and supporting adoption families and individuals prepare and welcome their new feline family member.

FOSTER WISH LIST
The rescue, foster and adoption efforts are made possible by the generosity of you, the community.
Each donation from the FOSTER WISH LIST helps to support RCC's current cats and kittens in our foster care with nutrition (food) and hygiene (litter).
Whether you choose to donate items from the wish list or share RCC with someone you know that would have interest, each has a direct positive effect for the lives of rescued cats and kittens while they are in their foster home preparing for their forever people or person and home.
