About Me

Trustworthy Reliable Cat Lover

Hi, I’m Catharine and I live in Scotton, near Knaresborough. I’m a huge animal lover, but my absolute favourite animal is the cat. I’ve had my own cats for over 3 decades and my current cat is a ginger and white tom cat, named Tommi. He’s an old lad now at 15 and he has diabetes, so I inject him with insulin twice a day. He is undoubtably the boss of the household and rightly so! He doesn't go far now, just into the garden for a potter and then back in for biscuits!

I have worked in a cattery for 2+ years where I have gained invaluable knowledge of caring for cats and I understand cats’ needs and behaviours. I am used to different breeds of cats and have looked after all types of cat ranging from bengals, persians & rag dolls to the magnificent moggie. I have done online courses in Animal First Aid and I also have a Diploma in Feline Behaviour & Psychology.

When I’m not looking after cats I’m drawing them! I draw pet portraits and of course my favourite subject is the cat!

I am a very trustworthy reliable person and I will ensure that your VIP family member is very well cared for while you are away and gets lots of love. I hate leaving my cat and I worry while I am away, so I will keep you updated with photos/videos and updates. I am also happy to put out rubbish/recycling, switch lights on/off, open/close curtains as required. I am happy to do an initial meet and greet so that we can chat about specific requirements while you are away.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch.

    Catharine, as ever was amazing. Pre-meeting to check both Jessie’s needs & mine. She always sends daily photos & updates from every visit to put my mind at rest. She knows I always worry all the time when I’m away. Catharine genuinely loves what she does & cares Five stars are just not enough.

    Catharine is an absolute star and we would 100% recommend her to anyone. Our cat Jiji is very shy around new people, and Catharine did a brilliant job looking after her and ensuring she was at ease. Communication was brilliant throughout and we received updates and pictures each day, so we could enjoy our break knowing Jiji was well looked after.

    Catharine is super lovely and reliable. She was fantastic with our three cats, even Oliver who requires several medications per day. We had regular updates and photos whilst we were away, and clear communication. We will definitely book Catharine again for future trips! Thank you so much!

    Five stars is just not enough. Catharine was absolutely fantastic in taking care of my elderly cat who is used to someone being home every day. The daily updates and photos really put my mind at rest Catharine has such an affinity with cats & genuinely cares. I could not have had anyone better. I came home to one very happy, contented cat.
