Friendly cat sitter in Maida Vale area

I’m a 26-year old cat lover who stays in the Maida Vale area (W9) and works as a researcher. I adopted 2 cats when I was 12 and have helped raise/foster 3 kittens as well as catsit many times for friends and family, so I understand each cat has its own unique needs and how to be attentive and patient with cats at different ages. I’ll strive to be a reliable and comforting presence for them while you’re away!

I can give treats and food, make sure water is topped up, change litter, provide photo and video updates, and give medication mixed with food (as long as the cat is not aggressive). I’m happy as well to give pets, attention and cuddles, and do any grooming routines such as brushing their fur.

For kittens, I can assist with weaning them onto solid food, play with them to socialise them or help them with going potty. While not a vet professional, I’m aware of some common signs that kittens are growing properly or conversely might need medical attention, and can check their weight to make sure they’re gaining well.

I’ve hand-reared parrots in the past (Fischer’s lovebirds) and can help to look after small birds and parrots too.
