About Me

Ailurophilia = Cat lover 💕

Hello, I'm Jo. I've always lived in a family with cats, in fact I was born into a family with more cats than kids. And it’s a running joke in our house that stray cats always move in with my parents, they just seem to find their way to us!

My cats are the first thing I look for when I get home and the last 'person' I say goodbye to when I leave the house.

I have so much love for these furry friends and love to share my time and home with them. I couldn't go a day without being around one.

I have a tuxedo cat called Tallulah who is 9 years old and she loves to give me the occasional present which are usually birds, earth worms or the odd mouse! My cat sitting started by looking after my sister’s pair. They are house cats, and rather than use a cattery she wanted them to stay at home in their own environment. I pop round, spend time with the boys, make sure they eat and are well and often end up grooming them and playing their favourite game - laser dot! So Cat in a Flat seemed like a fantastic idea to me, and I’m only too happy to look after your four-legged furbaby while you go away, I’ll even feed the fish too and pick up your post!

I’m used to dealing with fussy cats (mine can be a real diva) and know that some have very particular food habits and requirements, so I’m happy to take any instructions for your fur-babies.

I live in Gravesend, and happy to cover the local area, including Higham, Swanscombe and Greenhithe, Longfield and Meopham and parts of Rochester.

If you have any questions please get in touch, more than happy to have a friendly chat.

    From the first meet and greet I knew my 2 cats would be in good care while we were away. Jo kept us informed every day of how they were doing and gave them lots of her time and attention. I would definitely recommend Jo and choose her again.

    We've always asked Jo to look after our slightly skittish pussy cat because of her reliability and comprehensive gentle approach to Ollie's care,health and wellbeing for our durations away. Jo communicates daily to add to our reassurance.( Applied to our fish and fish ponds too) Thank you

    First time using cat in the flat - Jo took care of our cat whilst we was away for 10 days. She provided daily updates and pictures of him and was very thoughtful in her messages to us from our fur baby. I would highly recommend using jo as she is professional, friendly and accommodating in our cats needs. Thank you so much Jo!

    Very comfortable having Jo come into our home to look after Jimmy. She took time to play with him and sends over some great photos ! Jimmy got used to Jo very quickly and came out to play ! Cleared his litter tray and unfortunately had to clear up Jimmy’s sick too! I’ll definitely be booking Jo again. Thanks.

    As always, Jo was amazing, she cares about all our furbabies and when one of them did not show for most of the week she did go searching for him. Will continue to use Jo whenever we are away.

    As usual, Jo looked after my girls and kept me udpated on their behaviour, even on their apparent sulking! I have been rebooking Jo for a couple of years now and will continue to do so.

    Jo is the best, we absolutely loved having her care for our boys when we went on holiday for a week. The boys took to her immediately (and that's a feat, particularly for one of our boys who is very skittish), and we got lots of amazing photos and updates whilst we were away. So grateful for the amazing Jo!

    Jo is amazing! She keeps you updated throughout with pictures. Our cats are very nervous of new people and one of them in particular warmed to her very quickly.

    After meeting Jo and discussing Ollie's needs and habits Jo was easily able to assimilate all of the information and apply when tending to Ollie. Jo went above and beyond duties and helped us with organising a situation beyond our control. Well done. It is appreciated and intervention helped us settle and be reassured. Priceless. We would happily refer Jo to help look after your cat. Brilliant 10/10
