About Me

Cats First Cat Whisperer

I started catsitting when I moved to Oxford in 2014 for PhD in Physics because I was catless.

I have been responsible for the well-being of numerous cats since I was a little child and I have been actively involved in cat rescue and animal rights activities in Turkey where domesticated cats started in 8,000 B.C.

My interest in cat behaviour and my ability to naturally bond with them allows me to become their best friend. My friendship with some of the cats whom I catsitted moved to Skyping with them after they left Oxford. Therefore, I have earned my title of cat whisperer.

I am grateful to all the humans of cats for giving me a chance to make new cat friends and allowing me to reunite with the old ones.

More about cats and me:

Thanks to the references of adorable cats of Oxford, I settled in a flat with two female cats, Puli and Lakshmi in 2017. I am responsible for following up on their vitals, and taking them to our vet Stefani at Medivet. My landlady and co-cat parent praises me for vastly improving their standards of living. I am the favourite human, bedtime companion and sometimes replacement for the missing 4th leg of our beloved three-legged cat Lakshmi.

I am generous about my time with cats. I would like to spend as much time as they require until they’re happy for me to leave them. Therefore, I have very limited availability.

I have a Christmas guarantee policy meaning I spend Christmas in Oxford for the cat and my regular clients have priority of booking during this time.

I would do my best not to let down my clients so I welcome last-minute bookings but the earlier the booking the more likely that I can make my best availability for the cats.

I am well aware of the responsibility of taking care of your precious cats as well as your house. I would pay particular attention to the cat rules, which can be discussed and tailored according to every cat's unique personality and needs.

I would happily take your instructions for cleaning up the cat-related mess.

If you and your cat allow me, I would be keen to take pictures of your cat and share them with you.

I am happy to help you with cat conflict resolution, eating disorders, diet plans, behaviour improvement, psychological and post-trauma support, chronic disease management and medical emergencies.

I enjoy taking care of the plants.

Please note that I have quoted the base price, which may vary depending on the time of booking, cost of travel, and the extra time and treatments that your cat may require, such as bathing, nail clipping etc.

    Mehpare was an excellent cat sitter. We were away for over 2 weeks, and our cat can be shy and nervous, but Mehpare easily befriended her and kept her company, whilst also being very regular with her feeding. Mehpare also showed a lot of affection and care towards our cat, which was very reassuring, and she brushed and cuddled her plenty. Our cat was comfortable and not stressed when we got home, greeting us almost immediately despite us leaving her so long. Mehpare also kept an eye on our garden while we away, which was very kind of her.

    Very knowledgeable about cats in general and full of helpful advice for looking after them. Did a really good job looking after my cat while I was on holiday.

    Mehpare has been excellent as always. She entertained the cats, stayed with them long time, took care of them, gave them food and water and kept them clean. How do I know? She sent pictures everyday on Whatsapp!

    Mehpare was simply an amazing sitter!! We were away for a week and a half and she was in contact with us daily about our Saffron. Once we got home, we noticed just how well Saf was taken care of as she was not stressed at all! This was the first time we were away for such a long time and the first time Saffron had someone else staying over night, and she was a lot less stressed having Mehpare there to love and play with. The next time we have to go away, Mehpare will be our first choice. Saffron definitely has a new friend and so do we!

    Mehpare did a fantastic job with our cat! She visited multiple times a day and sent several updates while we were away. Our cat was very happy and relaxed upon our return.

    We are so pleased with Mehpare! Saffron took to her very quickly and was a very happy cat once we got home. She was not stressed or worried as she has been in the past. We got updates and a very nice picture of Saffron and Mehpare enjoying themselves with one another. We will definitely be hiring Mehpare again!

    always a pleasure to have Mehpare catsitting! She really enjoys looking after and playing with our cats and we feel very confident when she's in charge. Can't be better.

    Mehpare was very good and attentive, this is why we asked her to take care of our cats again.

    What a lovely cat sitter! Mehpare really cared for Odin and the two of them had so much fun while I was away - and she sent me lots of pictures and a video to prove it, too ;) I'm very happy indeed with what she did and have no hesitation at all to recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and fun cat sitter.

    Mehpare has been a very attentive cat sitter. She sent us updates of our cats daily, with pictures attached where she showed how she was playing or petting them. I would recommend her.

    Mehpare was a great cat sitter. She communicated well throughout the booking. She clearly loves cats and knows a good deal about taking care of them. I would recommend her.
