About Me
Cat sitter in Twickenham
Hello! My name is Nahema, I am an Imperial College graduate in Biotechnology and I've just finished my PhD at Royal Holloway University in Egham.
I come from Bologna, Italy, where I had to leave my cat, Mastro Ciliegia, when moving here to London for university. Unfortunately he passed away before I could bring him here, and I miss him terribly. I am now a happy dog owner, but I still have a cat-shaped hole in my life which makes cat-sitting perfect for me!
I have taken care of Mastro since I found him at a highway tollbooth near Bologna, in 2010, when he was just two-month-old. When I was in Italy, I would clean his litter, brush him and refill his water every morning, give him food twice a day, and play with and cuddle him as much as possible. When he was one-year-old, he was neutered and got an infection, so that I had to administer him antibiotic pills and sodium chloride solution drip, and I can do the same with your cat if needed. He also wouldn’t eat, so that I had to take extra care of him and make him comfortable before I gave him food. It took a few years before he could emotionally recover from all this, and he never really trusted people he didn't know after that. I believe that this experience has taught me how to take care of and love also cats that are not that easy to approach offhand.
I have taken care of other cats as well, such as my uncle’s cat Hugo, a beautiful warm milk chocolate Burmese, and my best friend's red European Shorthair, Tigro, while they were away. I have also been using this platform for a while, which allowed me to look after 22 furry friends over the years! It gave my so much joy, and now that I’m done with my PhD, I’m excited to be back for cat sitting.
Having lived away from my cat I understand the need of being updated on how he/she is: if you want, I can send you pics/updates of your cat while you are away, just as my mum did for me when I left!
I live on Twickenham High Street, but I have a car so I can travel reasonable distances. Please provide your postcode in your message if possible.
I hope to hear from you soon!
