Jacqueline Chadinha-Branca

Jacqueline Chadinha-Branca has been in southern Florida for the past 25 years with 17 years in Lake Worth Beach. Her heart and passion for saving and helping animals have led to her rescuing many cats and parrots over the years. Jacqueline started a publishing business in the pet industry 20 years ago – “Pet Planet” magazine and “Pet Junction” directory let Jacqueline and Juanique help rescue organizations throughout South Florida by giving them in-kind marketing and advertising. She has also been active in the feline catch-and-release programs, specifically in Lake Worth Beach.

In 2018, Jacqueline and Juanique were brainstorming about what business they could open together and how the two of them could make a difference and serve the local communities. They knew that there was a high demand for afterlife pet care services and always felt that something was missing when a pet passed away. Their dream was to create an uplifting environment for people to come and celebrate their pets at the time of its passing and to remember their furry friend in the future.

Gentle Pet Crossing is allowing Jacqueline and Juanique to continue their passion for working with the community and making sure your pet gets the best afterlife care possible. Their two-year journey has finally become a reality.

Jacqueline and Juanique also stay occupied raising their daughter who loves all their furry and feathery friends.
