The Cat’s Meow
Pet care experience
I have had cats my whole life. I grew up in a house that always had at least two cats at a time. Where my family lives there ended up being a neighborhood colony that took up residence in our backyard. As a result, I learned from an early age how to bottle feed, handle, and take care of cats/kittens of all ages and temperaments. Over the past ten years in addition to taking care of my own cats, I have volunteered with Anne Arundel County’s animal control, DC’s Humane Rescue Alliance, and a couple of other smaller animal nonprofits. For specific skills, I have worked with feral kittens, bottle fed kittens, basic medications (e.g., subcutaneous shots/needles), and teeth brushing.
Reviews
Christopher is a lifelong animal lover and pet owner with extensive experience caring for his own cats, fostering cats and kittens, and volunteering with both cats and dogs at various locations in DC and Maryland. He not only adores each and every new four-legged friend he meets and can't wait to shower them with affection, but he is also very attentive to their individual needs and preferences and willing to do whatever it takes to make sure they are fully cared for and comfortable. I've never seen someone so devoted to the happiness and well-being of every animal he encounters, and I have no doubt that he would bring that same passion, along with his many years of experience and all the skills he has developed along the way, to caring for your pet!
About Christopher M.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I cannot offer in home care for any pets other than my one cat. But, I will treat and spoil your cat like I do my own with lots of love and attention.
Information Christopher M. would like to know about your pet
You know your four legged friend best and I need to know what you know about them. Are they shy? Or are they rubbing up against you the minute you walk in the door? Do they like to be petted or brushed a certain way? Do they have a favorite toy? Hiding spot? Knowing what makes them happy allows me to keep them that happy and loved while you are away.
A typical day
When it comes to cats, you are on their terms. Some love attention and playing, others just want you to fill the dish. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know your feline so I can provide exactly what they want and need.
