Hello! I am an experienced and compassionate cat sitter in Park Slope who can administer medication, including injections and subcutaneous fluids. I am also a Certified Feline Training and Behavior Specialist (CFTBS), and I care for every pet as if they are my own. It can be stressful for cats when their families are away, so I do everything I can to make my cat sitting visits an enjoyable time for my kitty clients. Not all cats are the same, so I make sure to get to know the temperaments of the kitties I care for, and I tailor my interactions with them to their exact needs.
I particularly enjoy caring for special needs cats, and I’ve looked after kitties with epilepsy, cerebellar hypoplasia, kidney disease, blindness, and diabetes. I also really enjoy caring for shy cats, and I have been very good at quickly winning the trust of standoffish kitties. In order to help care for undersocialized cats and kittens, I completed the “Lion Tamer” training offered by the ASPCA.
I absolutely adore cats, and I’ve spent the last several years volunteering at my local rescues, fostering kittens, and writing about special needs kitties! I have three cats of my own, including a special needs kitten with cerebellar hypoplasia, and I love sitting because it enables me to make new feline friends while helping their families.
