FeliVibes * * *

I'm Joanna and I specialise in feline behaviourism.

Since I can remember cats have always been present in my life. For 15 years I have been actively interacting with cats since I decided to take a little kitten named Sharotka for the first time. Thanks to her I became a real Crazy Cat Lady, and thanks to her it all began, because trying to solve her behavioural problems I had to get through the vastness of feline literature, which as a result gave me a broad knowledge of the nature of felines.

For all these years I have been active in various behavioural cat groups, I have been training how to properly look after cats and how to ensure them a happy life at home. In the meantime, I was working as a volunteer in one of the cat rescues in Coventry, from where I adopted my three furballs. For over a year I was also a member of the team of the educational project “Catvisors” that brought together cats’ specialists from various industries and was aiming to help cat carers in variety of ways, to spread knowledge about cats and also to refute the myths that have grown up around this amazing species.

Now I am an experienced cat-sitter and cat behaviourist. Recently, I founded own educational group on Facebook for Polish cat lovers living in UK.

*** I offer cat sitting once or twice per day and overnight sitting. Other individually suited services can be also arranged.

If you pick my services you can be sure that:

• your cat will not only have a full bowl and a clean litter tray but also its other typical feline needs will be understood, such as hunting carried out with adequate physical and mental stimulation;

• your cat will be treated with gentleness, sensitivity and respect for its individuality and current mood: if it wants to play, then we will play, if it wants to cuddle, we will cuddle, if it wants to sit three metres from me – I will stay at such a distance;

• your cat will be safe in case of health problems – my intuition, good sense of observation, as well as completed courses, amongst others, on first aid and on pain recognition in pets increase the chances that I will notice the problem quickly and react appropriately;

• you will be kept informed (according to the previous arrangements) how your cat is doing, you will receive current photos or short videos of my visits;

• undesirable traces of cat’s activity will be cleaned (spilled litter or food, accidents outside the litter box and possible vomiting);

• your house and your privacy will be respected.

Every cat has unique personality and requires tailored approach – I can sense and respect that. It is not because I possess divine superpowers but because I have profound knowledge about Felis catus species and I show exceptional intuition and empathy, exchanging positive vibes with cats.

As the behaviourist I put cats’ wellbeing and their psychological comfort in the first place. I endeavour to minimise stress resulting from temporary cat-carer absence.
