About Rachel

As an owner of two adopted, complex moggies, who were previously semi-feral, I know just how difficult it can be to leave them - even to go on holiday! - and that sometimes nothing but a true cat person, who will really understand their needs, will do! 

I have spent my life living and communing with cats! Known by friends as ‘The Cat Whisperer’ or ‘Auntie Catkins’ I have been lucky enough to know many feline friends over the years. From this experience I know that every cat is an individual and there are many out there who need specialised cat care. 

I am experienced with nervous, semi-feral, elderly, temperamental cats, kittens and nursing mothers.

I look after your feline friends in their own home, meaning you can enjoy your time away knowing they are safe and cared for, where they are happiest. I will come and meet you at home, and if they're not too shy, your cat(s) too! It's a personal service, and you have to feel comfortable inviting me into your home, to look after your most precious companions. 

What you can expect from me: 

An initial visit from me to discuss your cats’ needs

A personalised service, to be exactly what your pets need

Consistent care from one person only - me

Daily updates and photos

Medication administered if required

All soiled litter and food remains taken away to be disposed of

A true cat-centred service

Once or twice daily visits are available, or if you prefer your little one(s) to have company for longer, that can also be arranged; prices available on request.

Cats are happiest in their own environment, and owners of cats are happiest when their feline friends are content! I am experienced with nervous, semi-feral, elderly, temperamental cats, kittens and nursing mothers. I am more than happy to send text messages while you are away to reassure that all is well. I am happy to open & close curtains, pick up post, put bins out etc.

If you have any questions at all, or would like to meet me for more information, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
