About Me

Purrfect Garden City Cat Sitter

UPDATED NB:

I have taken an extended sabbatical for a few years. My husband, pets and I are trying out living on the Spanish Canary Islands. While here I am volunteering at a local animal sanctuary working with a mishmash colony of adult street cats until a loving home is found for them. It is good and I get to have lots of cuddles with lots of baby kittens in the other enclosure. My cat Luna insists I take a shower and change my clothes when I get home; she is definitely a ‘single’ cat thank you very much 🙄. We have recently been adopted by an abandoned Siamese which we have named Leo.

========== Cat’s have played an important role my entire life with always having at least one in residence; as a child, myself and my brothers each had responsibility for our own cats: my cat was called Jammy. I was your typical ‘cat lady’ until I met my husband 13yrs ago, I am now in my fifties and live with my husband, our tortoiseshell cat Luna and Chihuahua x poodle, Maxie. I was asked before the pandemic to volunteer with RSPCA to help socialise shelter cats to help their chances for being adopted. I am very much looking forward to helping these poor kitties; I am looking forward to when I can join the small team that do this vital job.

I cover a maximum 5km (approx 3 miles) radius from my home in Letchworth Garden City.

I am an excellent interpreter of cat speak and can usually understand what our fur babies are trying to make their care givers understand: a scratch just to the left a bit behind my right ear, belly rub at your own risk matey, you seriously expect me to eat that do you 🙄, I do believe my toilet area needs attending hurry up I need to mess it up but not before you clean it first! The usual cat chat they give us; their ever doting loyal slaves 🙄😁.

I also love to play with cats but let them direct the pace, and as for cuddles, well surely that is what our laps were designed for?!? 😁 Isn’t it 🤔

Update: I have recently been accepted by RSPCA to be a Volunteer Socialiser for abandoned and abused rescued cats at a local shelter in Biggleswade.

    I was so happy with the whole service, couldn’t have wished for better communication from Jo’Anne prior during and after my time away. I had a very happy cat that wants to play after his breakfast every day now and I’m sure would welcome his sitter back any time.

    Jo’Anne recently looked after our two cats and did a great job. She sent us fabulous pictures and we came home to two happy cats. She was very professional and thorough in getting all the info about our cats’ usual routines and preferences. We’ll definitely be booking again.

    I'd highly recommend Jo'Anne! She has visited to feed our cats on several occasions and each time we've felt very comfortable knowing they are in good hands. Jo'Anne goes above and beyond to provide regular updates and we love receiving pictures to see how they are getting on.

    Jo'Anne was brilliant, she was reliable, stayed in touch and went above and beyond to make sure my cat was happy whilst I was away. It was reassuring to know that someone was going in every day to check on him and the house and I came back to a cat who was happy and had eaten well which was such a relief as the one time I tried a cattery he went on hunger strike! Wi definitely use Jo'Anne again and highly recommend her.
