The cat whisperer

Cat care experience

***important*** My housesitting hours are 7pm to 7am as I have work, other cats and my fam to take care of. Please only get in touch if you are happy with the conditions of the overnight stay. ***another important notice*** Please get in touch only if you serious about booking me. I have many happy clients and care for all my cats equally. I have found myself fielding a lot of requests and wasted a lot of time answering messages that go unanswered. I provide excellent care, but my time is limited. I am an East London based writer and photographer with plethora of spare time for cat cuddles. I can travel almost anywhere in East London to look after, play with and spoil your furry friend(s). For the last 7 years, I have been looking after my friends' cats Mungo and Caboo whilst they've globetrotted, holidayed and spent time away on business. These pockets of time have been precious and few and far in between. I miss my siblings terribly when I leave. Down to a couple of days of insomnia upon our initial parting. Nowadays, my friends' neighbour fulfills their feeding duties whilst they are away (though I'm sure his cuddles are not as nice). All cats have specific personalities and I love discovering them through endless playing with those fishing type devices, squidgy mice toys or just running around, up and down the stairs, endlessly and aimlessly entertained. I love cats because they are independent animals, just like myself. They are smart and intuitive, especially when you are in pain or sad. They always find a way to cheer you up. Spoiling them with treats is one of the perks, though last time I looked after the kitties, they were bringing me treats - a couple of mice each, which in the cat universe is the biggest gift one could receive. I guess I am lucky and I bet Tony the neighbour never receives any...

Ivana is amazing!! I am SUCH a worrier when it comes to my (slightly) anxious cat, and he took to Ivana immediately who has gone above and beyond. I got regular updates too which gave me peace of mind, and I got to relax on holiday knowing he was in safe hands. Thank you Ivana!

It was an absolute pleasure to have Ivana looking after Al Seef. He was obviously treated super super well. We were kept up to date regularly and we will recommend. Everything was smooth and fantastic. Thanks again.

Ivana was really wonderful and friendly, and took her time to get to know my shy little kitten! He got comfortable with her and it was lovely to see him enjoy his treats. Sent lots of pics and videos which was HUGELY appreciated as it was the first time leaving him for longer than a day. Will definitely be booking in the future when I go away.

Am very happy to have found Ivana the cat whisper. I think Magnus barely noticed I had gone away. Thanks!
