About Kate
I've been a huge lover of cats for as long as I can remember (and most other animals really)
I've been a cat owner since I was 11 and have continued to have many cats throughout my life. I have fostered cats for The Cats Protection and been able to work with cats with different health needs and from 1 day old birth, mummas with kittens, younger cats and older cats. I've been able to work with some very anxious and angry cats allowing them the time and love needed to gain their trust turning them into mushy attention loving cats thanks to my years of ownership and fostering.
I have been feeding family and friends cats when they go away for a number of years whilst also making sure to brush and cuddle those in need and cleaning out litter trays etc or washing bowls in-between feeds. I also have experience of smaller animals such as hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas etc and have a good level of understanding in how to freshen up cages and handle small animals when they are comfortable to be handled.
I love meeting new animals and find caring for them therapeutic whilst also understanding how hard it can be to trust someone else to look after your pet, but also not wanting to send them away from their own comfort as hope as this can result in added anxiety for pets which can be avoided with someone coming in regularly to care.
I work in children's residential so I have a kind, patient and caring nature anyway and enjoy doing good for others.
I am happy to do 1 drop in to your home a day for feeding, watering, cuddling and cleaning out cat toilets etc. (Can manage 2 drop ins if in Layer-de-la-Haye) I can also support any needs for a smaller animal as above and also a lover of plants so happy to also water house/garden plants if needed.
I can also recognise Ill health in animals and will support with vet trips or medications where needed in emergency.
(If you live in Layer De La Haye or Copford and need Mon - Fri support outside of school term time I may still be able to drop in. Please message to ask as if close enough to home or my drive home I can do these days outside of working hours)
