Catalina cat-sitting

I love cats! I've always had cats throughout my life, right from early childhood to the present day. I'm well-versed in looking after a wide range of cats, from the playful and energetic to the shy and senior ones. I consider every cat to be special and I take pride in gaining their trust and forming a life-long bond with them. I've even had local strays move in with me and choose me as their human (their owners were tracked down but no longer interested in caring for their cat, sadly).

Let me share a bit about my current cat family, which consists of three wonderful rescue cats from Celia Hammond in Lewisham. I understand firsthand the unique needs and backgrounds of rescue cats. In my own home, I have two lovely shy girls who prefer their personal space, and a boisterous male cat who is an absolute sweetheart, always craving attention and the occasional treat. Despite their differences, they all share one thing in common: a deep love for playtime!

Being a lifelong cat lover, I've had the joy of sharing my life with these delightful creatures since adopting them last year. I've come to understand their subtle forms of communication, appreciating that an exposed belly is not an invitation for a little tickle.

Building trust and caring for cats on their terms is of the utmost importance to me, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable enough to blossom into the cat they are meant to be!

With my life-long experience in cat care, your cat will receive the utmost attention and love while you're away. The well-being and safety of your cat are of paramount importance, and I'll provide you with updates and photos to give you peace of mind that your cat is happy and well looked after.

As part of my cat-sitting service, I offer:

🍗 Feeding Your cat will receive their favorite meals and treats according to their dietary needs (please let me know!) and preferences.

🎉 Play time I'll keep your cat entertained and mentally stimulated whilst you're away. If they have a favourite toy I can make sure they get some quality time with it, or I can bring my own feather wands and things on strings.

💖 Cuddles Your cat will receive the finest care - chin scratches, cuddles, and chitchat. Although if they're shy, I would take their cue for how much physical contact they'd like.

💩 Litter tray cleaning I'll provide a clean and hygienic environment for your cat, and a stink-free welcome for when you return.

💊 Medication I can make sure your cat takes any oral medication they might need.

Contact me today to discuss your specific needs, or we can arrange a meeting in person to discuss your cat-sitting requirements.
