Bolton area cat lady willing to watch your cats, dogs, and/or birds!

I moved from Ohio USA to the UK 3 years ago to marry my British soulmate. Unfortunately he is severely allergic to cats, so the cats I had in Ohio had to stay behind with my adult children. My first cat, as an adult, was my snuggly black cat Quin in 2012. He loved lap cuddles and frolicking in the yard. Unfortunately he crossed the rainbow bridge a few years later due to cancer. In 2014 we adopted a 1 year old kitty Moo Moo, she was unofficially my son's cat and still lives with him in Ohio. In 2017 we saw on Facebook a post about some kittens that had been dumped in the woods, and that's how we got Smokey. We got her when she was about 9 weeks old and she lives with my daughter in Ohio. I love being able to play with and snuggle cats, I also love watching their antics even the crazy orange ones!

I owned a dog from a puppy (cocker/spaniel mix) for 16 wonderful years who loved chasing squirrels and walking to the ice cream stand with me. I also had a Lutino Cockatiel as a teenager who still lives with my mom, he enjoys dancing to music on top of a dresser that has a large mirror on it. He sings to the bird in the mirror as he dances.

Since my husband is severely allergic, I have to find a way to get my 'cat fix'. I visit a cat cafe every year on my birthday, but 1 hour a year isn't enough anymore. I love taking care of kitties of all ages. I am able to go anywhere in Greater Manchester and Lancashire. I am willing to provide a warm lap if one wants a nap, or get out their favorite toy if it's playtime. Cats, like humans, are all different in their wants and needs and I understand that I'll need to follow specific routines to keep them happy and missing you less while you are away. I will scoop boxes, clean up hairballs, clean up any accidents. fill food and water dishes, etc. I am willing to try to give your cat(s) their medication, but can't guarantee I'll be successful, unless you have a guaranteed way that they will take it. Whenever I had to give my cats a pill I just wrapped it in tuna, they just gulped it down, but I know that might not work with every cat.
