The Cat Connoisseur

Hello all :)

My name is Oksana, and I’ve been caring for and loving cats almost as long as I’ve been alive. I am currently a postgraduate student at UCC, quite a long way from my home in the Rocky Mountains, USA. The only way I could leave my 3 precious angel cats back home is knowing that they’re receiving the same consideration, love, and attention that I give them. I would like to give that same peace of mind to others. I helped raise my childhood cat from a few weeks until he was 21 years old. Following this, I successfully introduced a bonded pair of kittens to an adult female Tortie(tortitude anyone ?), and now they coexist peacefully. Before coming to Ireland, I was the go to cat sitter in my friend group of cat parents. I have experience with young cats, indoor cats, outdoor cats, old cats, sick cats, skittish cats, temperamental cats, and more.
