About Me
Cat devotee with enhanced DBS, based in Cowley, Oxford.
Update for August 24 onwards: I am temporarily unable to take on new clients. I’m very sorry for any inconvenience here.
Hello fellow cat lover(s),
I am a cat obsessive Ph.D. student who is permanently based in Oxford.
As a student, I can be highly flexible even at short notice throughout the year.
I also hold a valid Enhanced DBS check, gained via my work as a graduate tutor for the Faculty of History, University of Oxford.
I have my own beautiful British Shorthair girl, Luna, but also grew up with multiple cats. This means I am well versed in cat care, including administering medications (even to squirmy or rebellious cats such as my own little squish!)
As a cat owner myself, I am sensitive to each individual cat's needs and - as a devoted owner - your own needs. I always change my behavior based on the cat. If they are confident there will be cuddles from day one, but I’m also happy to adjust myself to a cat who’s less sure of me to help them settle.
I’m also always happy to provide updates and photos/videos to you as an owner. This is something I appreciate myself for ease of mind when I am away from Luna. I'm only too happy to send regular updates - as many as desired!
I also believe cats are sociable and need more than just a feed and quick play. I always stay for at least 1.5 hours, but normally 2 hours for pets, cuddles, play, or just some company with every visit. In periods where I’m more free, I often stay for several hours at a time especially if there is a desk I can work at.
I have also looked after a local cat long-term when her owners are visiting family abroad (often for 4-6 week periods), so I can provide a reference.
Unfortunately, I don't have a car: while I can get to most places by bike or bus, it might be best to message me to make sure I am able to get to you.
Summary:
Valid Enhanced DBS check.
I will provide updates and photos as regularly as you like while you are away for ease of mind.
I aim to stay for at least 2 hours on each visit (If I can't do 2, guarantee a minimum of 1.5 hours).
I will arrange to meet you and your cat(s) in person before the start of the booking.
I am confident giving medications but do appreciate clear instructions.
I clean litter trays, clean all bowls, and provide fresh water with each visit. I feed/provide treats to cats as instructed and will stay for play, cuddles, and pets every visit.
I am happy to brush cats.
I'm an excellent cuddler, ear, and chin scratcher. I make a great treat administrator!
I can water plants, too!
