Hello Cat Guardians,

I’m Cici, a freelance creative in London. I completed my MA in Film Directing at the University of York and moved here in September 2024. Since then I’ve devoted my time to cat sitting and have ample availability for regular visits or longer stays to make sure your cat is never left alone.

My journey into cat care began with my mum’s calico when she was under a month old, and I fell head over heels for her playful spirit. Through Pawshake, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting feline friends of all ages, from tiny one-month-old kittens to dignified twenty-year-olds—and have looked after a wide range of breeds, including Moggy, Forest Cat, Ragdoll, Persian, British Shorthair, Abyssinian, Siamese, and Maine Coon. I am comfortable and experienced with both indoor and outdoor cats, understanding their different needs and routines.

I understand that your cat’s well-being is your top priority. While you are away, I am here to ensure they remain happy, healthy, and stress-free. My services include:

1. Daily Care: I will stick closely to your feeding and treat routines, ensure their water bowl is always fresh and full, and take care of their litter tray. I have experience with a variety of diets, including raw food.

2. Companionship & Play: Your cat will receive daily companionship tailored to their unique personality. I'll take my cues from them, whether they prefer some quiet company or an energetic play session. I love discovering their favourite spots for a scratch and learning if they enjoy a cuddle.

3. Health & Medication: I have extensive experience in administering medication and my skills include giving pills (crushed or with a pill giver, followed by a gentle throat massage), using inhalers, and applying transdermal medication via the ear.

4. Extra Touches: I’m also happy to provide some extras, such as a quick nail trim or a bath if your cat is comfortable with it.

5. Cat Boarding at My Home: I live with my partner in a new, clean and well-organised 60sqm 1b1b flat, providing proper spaces for cats to hide, play, and explore. We’re both freelancers who work at home, so we have extensive time to stay with cats, and are rarely disturbed by guests. We’re able to take care of your cats in either way if they prefer to stay with other cats or would like to have their own private home, just to ensure they feel settled and comfortable with us.

Nothing warms my heart more than hearing a contented purr. I truly understand how much your cat means to you, and my goal is to be their trusted friend in your absence. To give you complete peace of mind, I will send you regular photo and video updates, so you can relax on your travels, knowing your beloved cat is in loving and capable hands.
