After a postcollegiate stint in the world of digital marketing and communications, Adrienne (Rayski) Preuss (’07) is applying her skills and her love of animals to a small business venture in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn: Animal Loving Care. With Preuss’s help, the business—which specializes in dog and cat grooming, daycare, and walking services—expanded in size and services in 2014.
Says Preuss, “Going from structured corporate environments and then higher education to running a small business has been a tremendous change. Every day there’s something new, and it certainly gets hectic juggling it all. But the rewards are so, so great. . . . I feel honored to call this my work now.”
Diana Clemente (’81), president and principal of Brooklyn, N.Y.-based limousine operator Big Apple Car, is helping to improve the lot of neighborhood cats. Clemente provides space to local cat-control group Ferals in Peril for spay/neuter and vetting of feral cats and for temporary housing of adoptable animals rescued from feral colonies. Her feline philanthropic activities were praised in a February 2015 Brooklyn Daily online article titled “Bensonhurst Livery Cab Station Fixes Feral Cats.”
