Katy

Welcome to my page! My name is Katy and I'm widely recognized as the "cat person" among my friends and community, a title I wear with pride. Having shared my life with these wonderful creatures since I was born, my love for cats runs deep. My extensive experience includes years of personal care for various cats. I also attended professional work experience in a cattery, to learn about cat health & safety, and administering oral medication and eye drops. This has equipped me with the skills to ensure that your cat's health needs are met with precision and care. I am particularly adept at soothing nervous or timid cats, thanks to my calm and patient demeanour. My approach is always gentle and respectful, acknowledging the trust it takes for a cat to feel comfortable in new hands. I am well-versed in the correct methods of holding and handling cats, ensuring their safety and comfort at all times.

I look forward to meeting your furry family members and providing them with the best care while you're away!
