Lifelong Cat Parent and Sitter Based in Leeds

Hello!

I’m from Turkey, and cats have been part of my life since I was eight, when my father brought home a stray kitten. Since then, I’ve shared my home with cats for 24 years. I spent the past nine years in Istanbul studying, anyone who’s been there will know that cats are truly part of the cityscape :)

Over the years, I’ve lived with two different flatmates, and the cats we cared for in both homes were orphaned and sick kittens when we first met them. We bottle-fed them, taught them to use the litter box, administered the necessary medication, and cared for them as they grew.

Back in my family home, my mother and I have also often cared for stray cats in our neighbourhood. We helped cats living on the streets, as well as those in need of temporary care due to illness, having kittens, or requiring veterinary attention.

I truly miss having a cat around, and I’d love to care for yours as if they were my own.

I live in LS6, and I’m especially available for cat sitting in Headingley, Kirkstall, Meanwood, Hyde Park, and the city centre.

Here’s how I can care for your cat:

Having lived with cats for most of my life, I’ve learned to appreciate each one’s unique personality and needs.

I’m comfortable caring for cats of all ages and needs. I can feed them and ensure they have fresh water, clean litter boxes, and that your cat feels safe and comfortable in their environment.

I have experience administering various types of medication to cats, including antibiotics for infections, antifungal treatments, eye drops, and vitamins, as recommended by veterinarians. I’ve also assisted with wound care and bandaging.

I can also provide plenty of playtime and companionship to keep your cat happy and active. I sometimes see cats find their own toys, such as shoestrings to chase, or furry accessories, and some enjoy batting around hair ties. I’ve even had a cat who loved little balls made of aluminum foil- he could even fetch the ball and bring it back to me!
