Meet Jamie, a 22-year-old environmental science student at the University of Waterloo with a passion for animal rescue and a penchant for adopting unconventional pets. After taking in a curious hamster named Hammy—whose adventurous spirit earned him the nickname "Soju"—Jamie found themselves on a wild journey of hamster-proofing their apartment. Between late-night adventures to retrieve Soju from precarious perches and a tight-knit community of fellow pet enthusiasts, Jamie now cherishes the quiet moments and hopes to apply their environmental knowledge to animal welfare initiatives in the future.
