An animal-obsessed woman who shares her home with more than 50 rescue animals has had the ashes of two of her deceased pets inked permanently into her skin so they can 'always be with her'. Alexandra Ashe, 35, who has at least 30 tattoos of her adopted animals, decided to have the ashes of her late tabby cat, Lamb, embedded in her right arm, and the remains of a three-legged baby fox called Matilda tattooed next to her heart.
Crediting the cat she had owned since she was 18 for having pulled her through recovery after she fell into heroin addiction in her late teens and 20s, Alexandra has now been drug-free for five years and dedicates her life to caring for rescue animals in a sanctuary in her home.
Alexandra – whose mother's maiden name was Dolittle – also lives with her husband, security guard Michael Evans, 41, in Florida, USA. She describes her pets as her "serenity".
