Cat sitter in Surrey

Hello and thank you for visiting my profile. I have loved and lived with cats for much of my life - save a couple of years - and that's a lot! You could say I am a crazy cat lady!

My Nooshie a beautiful black & white short-hair passed away in November 2016; she was almost 20 and I had the very real privilege of being her human-mummy for 15 years. She developed a hyper-thyroid condition in 2012 which I managed by finding an awesome Vet clinic who taught me how to give her medication and feed her appropriately.

I am a Reiki 1 Practitioner and gave healing to my cat when she broke her leg in 2014. Instead of 6-8 weeks of recuperation, she only took 3 weeks until she was yet again climbing fences. The Vets were astounded.

She eventually developed a tumour in her stomach which she kept from me until it had become too large to operate on. I had to say goodbye to her very sadly and still miss her months later.

Nooshie was preceded by Suki a stunning black long-hair female and Felix another black & white short hair male who I loved for 5 years until they were both taken from me through road accidents.

In my 20's, I was handed 2 cute kittens by their natural Mother - a tortoiseshell short hair feral - who then left for pastures new. They lived until 19 and 20 respectively.

When I lived at home with my Mum & Dad, my Brother found a scared little black cat cowering in a corner and brought her home to live with us in a block of flats. I took her in when she was 15 - as I moved away to live in a house with garden when I married - and Mum and Dad then moved to a house with garden to be closer to me. I returned her to my folks and she lived until she was 20.

Prior to this, Mum who loves cats just about as much as I do, took in strays and ferals and one in particular protected me when I was a baby by sitting by my pram and warding off unwanted visitors. She would then jump into my pram to curl up, when I was picked up by Mum.

Throughout my life, as well as loving animals but in particular cats, I have been employed by commercial companies and worked my way up the ladder to become a respected Bid Writer and Author. I often worked from home and missed having a furry friend around, so I decided to look after other people’s cats, either side of my daytime obligations.

Nowadays and for tbe past 5 years, I have become a full time pet carer. Animals are my true passion and now I can be with them 7 days per week.

I also found a couple of lovely cats to adopt and enjoy their antics when I work from home doing my admin, reading or writing. I’m truly blessed.

So, would you allow me to look after your cats and/or small animals and love them whilst you're away? (Please?) xx

I am a cuddler. I love cuddling cats or at least offering the option. Some cats don’t like this and I respect their boundaries.

I also administer medication. So injections or anything by mouth is fine with me.

If a cat shows signs of wanting to play, that’s it; I’m on the floor with them! 😝 I will mirror the cats’ behaviour so they are not afraid to be in my presence. If they prefer to be distant, that’s ok and if they want some attention, that’s great.
