Working with animals is something that comes naturally to pet expert, Victor Robinson, owner of Purrfect Pets. Robinson and wife, Nilmi Robinson, own the longest-serving pet store in the Rockaways! In 2004, the Robinsons opened Purrfect Pets to share their passion for animals with the community. Over the last 16 years, the couple has witnessed a growing demand for pets and pet products on the peninsula. This demand generates a greater need for pet supplies, training, and grooming — all services that they are happy to provide to customers.

Purrfect Pets offers an array of services from plants, fish, animal food, and more. "When you visit our store you'll be welcomed by our exotic tropical plant selection. We have two floors dedicated to pets and supplies. Our pets include tropical fish, small animals, birds of all kinds, reptiles, and amphibians from all over the world. We also offer dog training classes by our certified master dog trainer," said Robinson.

For Robinson, Purrfect Pets is more than just a pet store. It is the execution of his childhood dreams. He recalls going to the 5-Towns pet store to learn more about fishes, bunnies, and other critters. Robinson states, "I have always loved animals and had a natural ability to communicate with them. So, I've always had the idea to open a pet store since I was young. Although, I planned on being a lawyer."

It's a good thing he stuck with his passion! 

Robinson is aware of the hard work and dedication needed to operate a small business. "You don't always profit, and sometimes you take two steps back and one step forward. However, because I love what I do, it gives me the strength to know that hard work and perseverance will teach me valuable life lessons."

As the only pet store on the peninsula, Purrfect Pets has gained a positive reputation in the community for its unique service. While many associate Purrfect Pets with its first location at 19-15 Mott Avenue; in late 2019, the Robinsons acquired a larger space with their move to 19-14 Mott Avenue. The new space allows the couple to keep up with rising customer demands.

If you're in the area, in need of plants, a pet, or food for your furry friend — be sure to stop in and say hello!

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
