I'm a huge cat lover and have taken care of family cats for most of my life. In college, my partner and I adopted a cat of our own, Ophelia, who I pamper and play with every day. I'm passionate about going above and beyond to accommodate all of you and your cat's needs and preferences to ensure I'm providing high-quality, personalized care. Having grown up around cats and being passionate about continuous learning on how to best care for them, I'm very knowledgeable about cat body language cues and behavior. With this knowledge, I'm able to understand and resolve behavioral issues accordingly, whether that means simply giving a cat some space, understanding that they would probably like to play rather than be petted (or via versa), or figuring out why they seem to be avoiding their litter box and doing my best to fix the issue. In addition to my general experience, I also have experience with and am passionate about taking care of cats with special needs. I'm able to administer medication and carefully monitor cats to ensure that they stay healthy and happy. When I was walking home from class in my senior year of college, I found an injured cat on the side of the road and immediately took her to the emergency vet. The vet told me she had a broken pelvis, but that she would likely be able to heal without surgery if given the proper care. She was not able to walk, so I took care of her, cleaning her every day and administering her pain medication every eight hours for a week until I was luckily able to reunite her with her family! I learned that her name was Tessie and that she was a Maine Coon. Tessie's family kept me updated on her healing and I was so happy to hear that she was able to make a full recovery from her injury and walk again. I'm so proud of the part I played in Tessie's healing and want to treat your kitty with the same love and care!
