About Me

The Cat Lady of Carmarthenshire

I established my cat-sitting business while living in Manchester and am proud of my many excellent testimonials. I am now pleased to be able to offer my services in the Kidwelly area. I am a lifelong cat owner, & have a Diploma in Feline Behaviour and Psychology. I am currently owned by 5 cats (this is a fluctuating number!) and have also fostered cats and kittens for Cats Protection & other animal charities. I have fostered for over 10 years & in this role have cared for kittens from birth right up to the point when they are ready for homing. Also nursing mothers with their litters, who are very scared and bewildered. It gives me an immense amount of satisfaction to see a much-loved foster cat or kitten develop and grow in confidence and go on to their forever-home. I strongly believe that looking after your cats in the comfort of their own home is much less stressful for them than putting them in a cattery when you have to go away. I have an affinity and can form a bond with most cats. My friends & clients describe me as a cat-whisperer, an accolade I am happy to accept. Oh, and my profile pic is of me kissing a serval kitten which I was fortunate to meet at close quarters at Hoo Farm Animal Kingdom in Shropshire!

I live in Llansaint, near Kidwelly and have my own transport so the following areas are all within easy reach: Burry Port, Carmarthen, Carway, Cross Hands, Ferryside, Four Roads, Five Roads, Ffos Las, Kidwelly, Llanelli, Llansaint, Mynydd-y-Garreg, Pembrey, Pontyates, Pontyberem, Trimsaran, Tumble. A small mileage supplement to reflect additional travel costs will be added to the booking fee for any bookings over 5 miles away to ensure I am not working at a loss (All amounts to be agreed prior to booking.) I can also consider areas further afield and am happy to discuss on an individual basis. As well as looking after all aspects of your cat's welfare I am also happy to feed fish, water plants, bring in mail/papers, switch lights on/off, etc. - just ask!

    Cannot thank Heather enough for looking after our trio of cats while we had a short break away. Heather was brilliant from first contact to us returning home. She kept us updated and had lots of photos. Thank you Heather. Highly recommend.

    Found Heather in place of our usual sitter. All the other reviews were a comfort and they don't lie! Heather takes the job very seriously and was super friendly. There's a reason why she's so popular! No brainer. Thank you Heather, I'm sure we'll be in touch again x

    I call Heather the Cat Whisperer. Heather went above and beyond to make sure our kitten recovered from a bout of diarrhoea and was friendly, knowledgeable and full of cat cwtches. I highly recommend Heather's services and am so very grateful for all her help.

    I felt very confident leaving Sox with Heather for a 2nd time as she is one of the few people he doesn't hide from. I was reassured that he was ok with some pictures of him. I would recommend Heather to anyone looking for a cat sitter especially if you have a nervous cat.

    Heather provided regular reports and photographs which gave us reassurance that Conga was in good health and spirits.

    Heather takes fantastic care of my Cassie and I always feel happier knowing that she's in safe hands. Whenever I come home from a trip, it's lovely to find Cass completely unstressed and content with the care Heather gives her. I also appreciate the photos I receive of her while I'm gone. I can't recommend Heather enough!

    A big thank you to Heather for her care of our very nervous cat. It was reassuring to have photos of him whilst we were away. We’ve returned to a very contented and chilled cat, who is looking forward to her next visit!

    I left my cat in the house for the first time recently and Heather was brilliant in taking care of her. She sent daily updates and photographs which were lovely to receive. The initial setting up process was easy and we discussed all of Cass' needs which Heather then accommodated. Heather then came in twice a day to feed her and keep her company for a little while. The whole process involved no stress or upheaval for Cassie and I was extremely grateful for that. I would definitely book again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Heather's services.

    Heather was a fantastic sitter for our cats. She was brilliant at communicating both prior to and during our booking. Whilst we were she kindly sent us photos to show us how happy our cats were. We came home to three very happy cats! We will it hesitate to have Heather look after our cats next time we need a cat sitter.

    This was the 1st time i had left my cats for more than a couple of days but felt very confident they were in safe hands. They had been very well taken care of and it was lovely to find that she spent time with them rather than just putting food down. I would hope to leave then under her care if i go away again.

    I have to highly recommend Heather she has been absolutely amazing in caring for our kittens this summer holiday. Not only did she keep up us updated on how they were she sent photos and spent quality time with the kittens twice a day. Would highly recommend and will be using her service again without a doubt.

    Heather was fantastic. I received pics everyday we were away and the cats seemed to really love her - even the shy one who can get nervous around new people. We will definitely be calling on her again when we go away to look after our feline babies! Thanks so much Heather!

    This was the 1st time i had anyone in to look after my cats but felt happy leaving them in Heathers care. The message to update me on them was great and my cat who is often wary of strangers took to her straight away and it was obvious how much she enjoyed looking after cats. I would definitely recommend her to cat sit and hope to use her services again in the future.

    I was very anxious about leaving Phoebe at home for 10 days but I really needn't have worried. Heather has looked after her superbly. Phoebe was relaxed and content in her own surroundings with daily visits from Heather. I received updates and photos to allay any concerns. Heather has, once again, done a brilliant job and we are exceptionally grateful that our lovely girl was so tenderly and wonderfully well looked after.

    Heather was great with Jasper while we were away. We were worried as it was our first time leaving him but we came home to a very relaxed cat. Thank you!

    After a bad experience of my two cats not being looked after properly when I used a different company I was very nervous of leaving them again. However, Heather has been fantastic and looked after my babies so well. Both well fed and watered and attention given to them. I received daily text messages and photos which really put my mind at rest. I will most definitely use Heather again in the future each time I need to. She even put the bins out for me! I have definitely chosen a cat loving lovely lady 👍Thankyou so much xx

    I have never seen Kiki so happy, healthy and settled. Anytime we left, on our return she would have not eaten, she would be very vocal and she would have visibly lost some fur. Kiki was super happy.. We have been so impressed by Heather, her lovely messages and pictures whilst we were away and how great she was throughout. From beginning to end. I will definitely use her again and would recommend.

    Thank you, Heather! One happy, relaxed cat when we got home yesterday who had clearly been looked after wonderfully well while we were away. Phoebe and I are very grateful - she loves the fuss and I love the peace of mind that she's in the best of hands while we're not there.

    Heather was wonderful! I felt very safe leaving Laurence with her. She sent me photos each day and a txt to let me know he was ok which I really appreciated. Will 100% use her again and recommend her services.

    Thank you Hesther We've come home to a very happy Issy cat who looks like she's put weight on and is content to be with us rather than ignoring us as she would had she been cooped up in the cattery. You could be rather busy with her from now on.

  • 21 Jul 17

    This whole idea is brilliant - especially if you have found a cat sitter who goes above and beyond to get to know your cat, to make her feel secure and cared for, as Heather does for Phoebe. I have a daily photo to reassure me and a happy and relaxed furbaby when I get home. Wonderful! Thank you so much, Heather,

    Absolutely wonderful. Felt at ease right from first meeting,. The cats took to Heather R straight away. KitKat usually shy so well done lol. Was lovely going away knowing Heather would follow our instructions and even cleared clumps off litter tray so thank you. I would certainly use that again thank you Heather. 😊

    This is our final review as we lost our cat Ryder yesterday. He had endured his illnesses for around 2 years and required medicine 5 times a day. During that time he was largely stable and we managed to give our rather fine cat a good quality of life. We knew he was coming to the end and we are pleased to say Pet Medics made it very easy for us and Ryder. Our vet said we had been awesome in our care. However, we recognise that without Heather's help , which was both practical and kind, we would not have been able to take the breaks we needed. We were always confident that Ryder would be well cared for. We knew that they liked each other and that if we were delayed she would fill in the gap. Thank you Heather.

    From my first message sent through to the last Heather was amazing. She did an amazing job looking after my parents cats whilst we were on holiday including giving one tablets. We got updates whilst we were away and I always got a reply to any enquiry within minutes I would definitely use Heather again, Fantastic

    Brilliant! I can't thank Heather enough for taking the time to get to know Phoebe and looking after her so well. For a rather standoffish cat with most people, Phoebe was prepared to have her photo taken, even on Heather's knee - and instead of hiding under the settee or in bed when strangers come in to the house, she was rolling on the floor with Heather and clearly very happy. I was greatly relieved and absolutely delighted. I just hope Heather is free when we're away next and for the foreseeable future!

    Heather looked after Ryder from Friday to Sunday. Ryder had been unwell on the Thursday night. As his mum was worried Heather sent us reports through out the day. As a result, we came home relaxed and to a happy cat .

  • 20 Sept 16

    Chantal F

    Salford

    We came home to a happy,relaxed and well cat. Ryder needs medication 5 times a day from 6am through to 10 pm, three of which are meds administered by syringe,which means we ask a lot from Heather. We were delighted with her . She was helpful and took the worry away from us particularly as a rail derailment meant that our return time became iffy.
