About Me

“The Cat’s Whiskers”...the cat feeding service your cat would choose!

🐾 😺 🐾 😺 🐾 😺 🐾 😺 🐾 😺 🐾 😺 🐾

Hello, my name is Mary, and until recently, I shared my home in Chingford with a handsome cat called Tom, affectionately known as TomKat. He was 17 years old and had lived with me since he was 7 weeks old. A rescue kitten, TomKat was more than I could have ever wished for in a companion. At 7kg, he was a gentle giant, inquisitive, cuddly, and talkative, and would follow me everywhere, waiting for a lap to form! TomKat passed away in December 2024. He is greatly missed 💙

I previously worked as a PA in the City and loved my job, but I decided to swap a hectic pace for a more rewarding role, caring for fur babies.

I offer a free initial meeting at your home, giving you and your cat the chance to meet me and discuss their routine and needs.

During this visit, I’ll spend time with your cat, talking to them, observing their personality, and making them feel at ease. Every cat has a unique personality, so I tailor my approach to suit each one.

In addition to daily visits, I will keep the feeding area clean, water your plants (if required), and retrieve any parcels left on your doorstep/hidden behind bins.

If your cat is shy or timid, I’ll patiently give them space until they feel comfortable approaching me. If they love attention and playtime, they’ll get plenty!

I currently cover my local area of Chingford and Highams Park. If you’re unsure whether I can cover your area, just send me a message, and I’ll get back to you promptly.

Thank you for viewing my profile and I look forward to hearing from you and your kitty!

    Mary is the most excellent cat sitter. She is really attentive and makes your cats feel comfortable so there's minimal disruption when you return. Mary has looked after our cats twice already and I would definitely recommend her as a trustworthy and kind sitter for your cats!

    Mary has done a fantastic job. She’s really good at keeping us updated with pictures and cats were happy and relaxed when we came back. She really makes going on holiday a lot easier when we know our kittens are so well looked after. :)

    What can I say..Mary was simply Amazing!! Communication, punctuality, efficiency and all that in addition to very friendly down to earth attitude. While we were away she looked after our rather shy and unsocial cat Eddy. We received daily photo updates of him playing, grooming and eating :) Not to mention that Eddy loved her! Grateful purrents :)

    Mary was a wonderful sitter - 3 cats with separate feeding stations and 2 litter trays to clean. She also fed the birds in the garden and sent daily photos or videos. The cats were happy, well cared for and everything was spotlessly clean when I arrived home!

She is a wonderful person and she is very professional, she looked after our blue blue for 10 days making her happy and allowing us to relax during our holiday! She sent always update cute pictures and videos and she has been very kind with us!

    Mary has been amazing and invaluable as a cat sitter. She has not only been amazing with Hank our cat, going above and beyond to feed him, play with him, spend time with him and make sure he is ok. sometimes going back to see him if he was outside o check he is ok. Unfortunately we has an issue with our front door whilst we were away on holiday and she helped us organise and supervise the locksmith in order to make sure that she could get in and see Hank. We will definitely be using Mary for all of our future cat sitting :)

    Mary has been amazing! She looked after our two cats for 16 days and she did an outstanding job. Mary truly cared about our cats and their needs, not just fed them but played with them and spent time interacting with them. Mary has also been amazing with cleanness - the cats litter and the accessories were spotless. We can’t recommend Mary enough. A massive thank you to you Mary!!!

    Mary was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! She fitted us in last minute when family support fell through and gave us thorough updates, photos and videos of our cat Olive (aka a princess!). She even managed to find a YT video for Olive about birds which she loved by the looks of things! We’ll definitely be using Mary again ☺️

    I can't speak highly enough about Mary. She was always quick to reply to messages, friendly and professional, and was extremely thorough in asking questions on her first visit to meet my cat. She sent us fabulous pictures while my husband and I were away and made sure to let me know that the cat was eating and how she seemed each day which really put our minds at ease. We hope Mary will be free every time we're away!

    Mary re-arranged her plans this week with no notice given to look after my kitties, they absolutely adore Mary and are both so bright and cheerful after Mary's visits, she is so kind and caring and we are so very blessed to have found her. We cannot reccommend her more highly.

    Mary was excellent. We had photographs, videos and messages following each visit. Tom looked perfectly happy each time and we came home to a very contented cat. Mary did everything we asked for and more. We are so pleased we have found Mary and Cat in a Flat.

    Mary was absolutely amazing, both my kitties adored Mary's visits, one is very shy and within no time he had a new best friend. Mary is highly professional, unbelievably kind, sent wondeful pics of playtime fun and we all look forward to arranging further visits in the fuutre. I strongly recommend this magnificent cat whisperer for all your kitties needs, we feel very blessed to have found her.

    So grateful to Mary. She really cares for animals & went above and beyond to ensure our pets were well looked after & felt happy, safe & secure during our holiday. There were photos and films of the pets sent to us each day which showed them to be content & really put our minds at rest. On our return, our cat was much more settled than she’s ever been when we’ve come home from holiday. Thanks so much Mary, really appreciate everything that you did.

    Mary has been looking after our cat Mabel while we have been away this week and it has been so reassuring to know that Mabel is in such safe hands. Mabels brother recently died and therefore she has never been on her own so I was a bit worried about leaving her, but I didn’t need to be. Mary kept us updated for the whole week during each visit with photos videos and photo collages and spent some real quality time with her. They really bonded together and I would feel very comfortable leaving Mabel in Mary’s capable hands next time we go away. In fact I have already booked her in :-)
