Katie's Kitty Care

I’m a longtime cat lover and experienced owner – I had a beautiful grey tabby named Noodle who was with me for 15 wonderful years. Over the years, I’ve gotten pretty skilled at giving medication and caring for cats with special needs, always making sure they feel safe and respected. I’ve taken the time to learn how to socialize with cats in a way that honors their space and independence. I’m also an artist and love photographing cats – capturing their little quirks and personalities is one of my favorite things. I often play them calming music too; it’s a small touch, but they seem to love it.

When I’m looking after a cat while their owner is away, I treat them like one of my own. I make sure they stick to their usual routine as much as possible; feeding times, play, quiet time, all tailored to what they’re used to. I pay close attention to their body language and mood so they feel safe and relaxed, especially in the absence of their person. Whether it’s giving medication, brushing, or just sitting quietly nearby if that’s what they prefer, I always go at their pace. I also send regular updates, photos, and videos so the owner knows their cat is happy and well cared for. And of course, I play them some calming music and bring my camera along, if they’re up for it, I love capturing a few sweet moments.
