Hello! I'm a cat sitter serving the Moses Lake area. I adore every cat, and never miss a chance to get to know them! I love all their different breeds, sounds, clumsy ninja tendencies, and personalities. Your kitties will be in good hands with me. I will ensure they always have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and as much play time and attention as they feel comfortable with. I am detail oriented and will follow your instructions for their care to the letter. You can expect plenty of updates, photos, and videos with each visit to let you know your fuzzy friends are happy and safe. I have owned and loved cats since receiving my first kitten for my 5th birthday. My family has had several cats over the years since then, and after I finished college I got my very own sweet girl -- Famke, a ruddy Somali kitten who was my affectionate constant companion for 15 years. Having owned her for so long, I had occasions to bring her to the vet, give her a bath, give her oral medication, administer flea drops, and so on. I had her spayed, kept her indoors, and never had her declawed, nor would I ever declaw a cat; her health and safety were my #1 priority. Instead I successfully trained her since kittenhood not to claw the furniture, and it worked! I currently have two ruddy Somali littermate brothers, Ole and Einar, who infuse every day with laughter and fun. Whenever I encounter cats in any setting, I can almost always befriend them. As a bonafide cat person, I understand the sounds, facial expressions, and body language of cats -- when they are curious, scared, excited, and so on. There are right and wrong ways to approach a cat, and negative reactions are never the answer; they seem to prefer when I can become small, crouch down to their level, and gently invite them to visit. Whether they are very shy or social and outgoing, I am always thrilled every time I see a cat, and am pretty good at getting them to like me too. Cats are all very unique, they have boundaries just like people, and when we intuit what they are we can always get along! In addition to caring for my own cats for 17+ years, I have offered my services as a cat sitter for a few years now. This has included young kittens, senior cats, and every age in-between. I cleaned their litter box every day, made sure they had fresh food and water, played as much as they wanted, or simply offered my lap as a cozy spot for a nap. And I truly enjoyed every moment that I was entrusted with them. Cats are part of the family too, and should be treated as such. When I'm not making new feline friends, I work full time from home as a product manager for the WA Department of Fish & Wildlife, 8 AM - 5 PM, M-F, so I will plan all visits around those hours. Famke made the best micromanager as she hovered over me on my computer chair, sat right in front of my monitor and keyboard, and helped distract me from work. I can't wait to meet your kitty companions.
