History
Michelle Lonergan's family has been in the pet industry almost her whole life. Her mother and father were one of the original founders of Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary in Rockford Il over 30 years. 5 years later, her family started Charjan's Distributors, Inc, a wholesaler of natural pet products. As a young adult, Michelle fostered many unwanted cats and dogs until they could be re-homed to loving families. She also rehabilitated many wildlife animals such as raccoons, squirrels and even the occasional skunk! Michelle is an accountant by education and made her career in business banking for 15 years. With a desire to own her own business, her years of knowledge of pet nutrition and her passion to work with animals, Michelle opened the first Tabby & Jack's in September of 2007. In September of 2010, a second location was opened on Madison's Captiol Square.
