Playful, compassionate and purrrrrfect catsitting in London

Hi! My name is Kemi Athene and I’m an artist living in London. I illustrate for children’s books, create artwork, ceramics, toys and jewellery for my stall and online shop and I also teach art to children. I am also vegan, because I love all animals! I absolutely adore cats and have had cats since childhood. I’ve looked after my own cat when I was growing up, and helped a lot with the care of my grandma’s senior cat for over ten years. When I was little, I believed I was secretly a cat and could talk to them! I still like to believe I am a feline empath!

I have experience cat-sitting multiple cats with varying needs including medication. I care for cats seeing them as complex and wonderful individuals, and I love seeing their personalities flourish as they relax and warm up to me. I love making cats feel good, whether that is cuddling them if they like cuddles, belly-runs, tickles, playing, talking to them a lot, playing music to them, reading to them or just leaving them alone to enjoy their own space. I will quickly learn what your cat prefers and go out of my way to make them feel as secure, content and happy as they can in your absence.
