Hello, I'm Freddie and I've been caring for cats since I was 10, when my violin teacher had 12 cats!

I'm 29 years old and an animal lover. I've worked in Zoos and recently moved back to London after working as a camp manager on a wildlife conservation expedition in Honduras.

I grew up in Singapore, where I was surrounded by cats (both pets and stray!), and have been caring for them since my family adopted Manja (meaning 'affectionate' in Malay), who lived until she was 22 years old. She had a few health problems in her later years, including hyperthyroidism for which I had to administer tablets and medication - I am experienced in looking after elderly cats, and am very familiar with their behaviour.

Currently we own a British Shorthair, Jane (pictured) who was adopted from our time living in Switzerland. She loves to be pampered and enjoys the finer things in life such as her KatKin food with additional mussel powder for healthy joints - I am more than happy to look after a VIP cat with special requests!

I've also owned many other pets and currently have an aquarium, so can help with any other requests.

Feel free to get in touch to arrange a meet or phone call before confirming any dates and discuss your needs. I would love to look after your cat/pets whilst you are away!
