About Me

Purrfect cat loving mum

I have recently taken early retirement from the NHS after 21 years as an assistant Practice Manager and Palliative lead for terminally ill patients. Since moving to Southampton I have taken a part time job in a local hospice using my palliative skills. I have an up to date DBS check. I have had cats since I was 5 years old and many hamsters, guinea pigs and small dogs along the way! So used to taking care of all animals. I decided that after all that time to try a slower less stressful life and spend quality time with my family and my three adorable cats affectionally known to all as the boys which my current position allows me to do. Tao is a silver Persian chinchilla who thinks he is human! Simba, is a four year old very timid and sensitive golden Persian chinchilla who only likes mummy cuddles and Milo is my shadow, a super cute cuddle mad moggie who I think In a previous life was a stuntman! Although my previous cats were outdoor cats my current boys are all indoor cats, so I am used to dealing with all types, Pedigree or non pedigree. I’m just nuts about any cat!

I will visit and feed your cat once or twice a day, depending on theirs and your needs making sure their bowls are always clean and change cat litter and clean trays when needed. As for cuddles and treats I’m A star at both and for those that love cuddles I will not disappoint but for those that are timid, shy or sensitive I will make sure they get all the love they need and will spend quality quiet time with them on their terms obviously! And we will become friends, And if your cat has an ‘accident’ indoors I’m also A* at cleaning it up. Im happy to give tablets and administer eye/ear drops for those that need it. I will send you daily pictures and updates so you can go away knowing your fur baby is being well cared for.

    Lovely Shirley has looked after my cat Jessi 3 times now. Shirley always takes time with Jessi and sends regular updates to me sometimes with pictures. I feel very happy to know Jessi is being looked after so well while I am on holiday, I would recommend Shirley to look after your pet.

    Shirley looked after our cat for 5 days. She was reliable and kept us updated by text on how our cat was doing. She picked up and dropped off the keys at the pre arranged times. We would have no problem recommending her to others.

    Once again Shirley was a fabulous carer for our elderly cat while we were away. It’s so reassuring knowing that when we’re away he is in such safe and caring hands. Shirley really does go above and beyond and we’re so grateful to her.

    This is the second booking we have had with Shirley and again we couldn’t rate her highly enough, our very elderly cat was so well looked after, including cleaning him up when he had made a mess in the letter tray with his paws. Came back to a spotless house and a very happy relaxed boy. Thank you again!

    Shirley was such a fantastic cat sitter, our very elderly cat needs regular medication and Shirley put our minds at ease with regular updates. She was so lovely on the home visit beforehand and then went above and beyond while caring for him, we came home to a spotlessly clean litter/food area and a very happy, relaxed cat!

    Shirley did an excellent job of looking after our cat Maisy. She sent us photos and updates of how Maisy was doing while we were away. We felt Maisy was in very safe hands which helped us to relax while we were away. Shirley was excellent at giving Maisy her medication and tending to all her needs. We highly recommend Shirley. From Stella 😊🐱

    Shirley was wonderful looking after my two for a week whilst I was on holiday. She came twice a day and not only fed them, but stayed a little while to play with them. My two are usually very nervous around new people, but warmed up to Shirley very quickly. I came back to two very content cats which was lovely.
