About Me

Black Cats & Unicorns

Hello,

My name's Michelle and I currently work part time for a well known technology company in Leeds. I also love cat sitting in my spare time. Many moons ago I was a Veterinary Nurse for 7 years. So, I'm more than happy giving injections and medications to your furkid. Since then, I've worked for the Police as a Civilian, been a Sexual Health Worker in London and am a Certified Yoga Instructor.

I've had the pleasure of looking after many different cats over the years- my first being Milly a gorgeous black and white timid little thing, whose collar got caught around her leg. She needed many gentle years of love and care. I also fostered Wednesday for a little while. I had Scritten for a few months- found at the local police station, Alice who is now with a good friend. But my main love was Scrumpy who sadly died a few years ago from a blood clot. :-( I still miss her sweet gentle soul. I now have two beautiful mini panthers called Albus and Sirius. We sadly lost Thomas and Leo early 2022 who both had health issues.

I promise your little angel will be fed and watered, cuddled and groomed (if they feel like it!) and regular pictures and updates sent to you whilst you're away.

I've house and cat sat, many times and am more than happy to give references. If you have any questions or queries, please contact me.

I now have a CRB/DBS check (April 2023)

I’m currently offering my services in LS10 area - New Forest Village, Heritage Village only. I may consider offers that are close to this are.

I’m an excellent cat cuddler and will give treats (if allowed). The cats spend many hours curled up on my lap.

My old regular cat sitting pair- Mushu & Lance, slept with me and enjoyed many kisses and cuddles.

I’m happy to stay overnight if you prefer your cat had more 121 attention.

I have some good news. Coco, who has helped me out with cat sits when needed, has set up a catinaflat profile as part of Black Cats and Unicorns. This means that if I’m not available, Coco will now be insured and able to get paid directly. Her profile is still now active. This is the link- https://catinaflat.co.uk/pet-sitter/508078. It may mean that a booking may need to be split between us but we can discuss it if needed.

    This was our first time using a cat sitter. The service Michelle offers is reassuring - daily videos and updates. Michelle herself is great, treated our cat with warmth regardless of her grumpy or more adventurous ways.

    Michelle was great, listened to everything that my cat would need, gave me updates to put me at ease (pure relief to videos of Tinksy coming out and getting strokes!). Michelle even took in my cat’s food delivery and popped it away so we would be fully stocked when returning! Fab, will definitely be using Michelle’s services again, thank you!!!

    Michelle was amazing, sent loads of pictures and updates and let me know how much food our fussy Dorothy ate.

    Came for a visit before first job and made us feel more than comfortable leaving Dorothy in her care.

    Perfect experience, won’t look anywhere else for meow care!

    Thanks again Michelle x

    Always a weight off our mind knowing Michelle is coming to visit our cat family. They have grown to know Michelle and enjoy the fuss she gives them, is also reassuring to see the updates that Michelle sends to us. Thank you very much and they look forward to the next time

    Michelle as always has been fantastic, our furry family have grown to love Michelle and enjoy her visits. Michelle shares updates with us about our cats while we are away which is reassuring and the photos and little videos allow us to feel in touch with things at home. Would definitely recommend.

    We were so impressed with Michelle from the start. Michelle kept us updated with how our furry friends were while we were away and we knew they were in safe hands. Our furry four look forward to seeing Michelle again very soon!

    We have a badly behaved brood of 6 kitties with a whole bunch of issues. None of these phased Michelle at all (including Laylah with her pretty horrific toilet habits!) and she was fabulous meeting them all before our short trip away. Kitties all looked after beautifully, did their usual hiding away tricks as they do. Michelle kept us updated and at ease. Straightforward and easy process. Will he booking again for July 😁
