Cat Paradise For Your Furry Babies!
Pet care experience
I’ve had cats since I was a child and have experience with anything from elderly cats that require medication and special dietary needs to active kittens and young cats! I have three young adult cats and they are all very sweet and ready to play! While I love dogs dearly (who can resist those puppy dog eyes!), I don’t have the same experience with their care so I am only looking to help people with their cat needs! Thank you for understanding!
Reviews
We definitely would recommend boarding your pets with Elif. In addition to being a very nice, friendly individual, she seemed to love taking care of our two kitties and did take extremely good care of them. Photos were sent to us on a daily basis, and she also communicated with us frequently so that we knew how they were doing the entire time. She also played with them daily and gave them treats as well. We felt our kitties were in very good hands with her. We certainly would request to have our kitties board with her if we needed to do so in the future. She is a breath of fresh air!
Elif was amazing!!! We left Jack the cat in her care for 6 days. We never left him with anyone anywhere and we were initially nervous. She sent updates daily, sometimes twice with pictures of Jack. She does have other cats but kept them separate because Jack doesn’t like other cats. She was able to rotate her cats and Jack so they had access to her full apartment. We felt good that he was being so well cared for. He takes medication and she was able to give it to him without issues. When he wasn’t eating as much she made him broth and he loved it! I would definitely bring him to her again if needed, we felt comfortable knowing he wasn’t alone and someone was there for him.
Elif is one of the most loving and responsible pet owners I know! Elif has taken care of cats all her life, from baby kittens to senior cats, so she has a lot of experience! She's very attentive to their needs and always makes sure they're taken care of before herself. And all cats love her right away!
Elif is a super committed pet-owner and pet-lover. Even my grumpy calico has been known to soften for Elif! For cats with all their different attitudes, Elif has the right attitude and patience to befriend them all.

We are in a three bedroom home with plenty of space for the cats to do zoomies in the middle of the night or sleep somewhere uninterrupted from each other. There’s also lots of cat beds and toys for them to play with as they like! 🐾 There are several cat trees, and also tons of windows for all the cats to enjoy their own space while bird watching as well! All of the cats acclimate pretty quickly to other cats except for one, who is a big scaredy cat and will likely do his best to ignore the temporary addition to the household. When we introduced the kitten to the others it took about a week to achieve harmonious living, which was a record as far as cats are concerned! If your cat has any discomfort, fear, or feeling the need to hiss at the other cats (or vice versa) I will easily be able to give them their own space in a separated bedroom and bathroom area for comfort. While we free feed dry food in the household and schedule feed wet food, that can easily be adjusted for feeding times according to your cats schedule as well. We also feed various treats like dental or hairball to our cats, and those can be added to your cats meal time as needed! We own a two litter robots, but I typically set up disposable litter boxes for our furry guests!

Information Elif W. would like to know about your pet
Please tell me if your cat has trouble acclimating to new cats or people and I can divide up the home accordingly so they have their own space. ❤️
A typical day
We do lots of play time, so there is tons of destruction of catnip toys in this household. The laser pointer is also a big favorite of our kitty crowd and I always make sure everyone gets a turn playing with the feather toys!

I work from home and have a very flexible schedule! If you need me to check in on your kitties I can easily do that for up to 1-4 hours out of the day if needed! If you feel your cat would benefit from more people time and want me to housesit, that can be arranged as well! If you prefer for your cat to stay with us there are plenty of sleeping spots, perches, and toys for your baby to enjoy during their stay! All of my cats love to play with each other, but I am also accustomed to issues with cats acclimating to each other (new scents and places can be stressful!) and can easily keep them separated for everyone’s comfort if someone gets upset! If you want your kitty to stay with us for boarding, we do require that they are FIV and FeLv negative as our cats are negative and are up to date on all their necessary vaccines. For cats that are positive- I can easily do visits or housesitting for them! Note: as this site is understandably primarily used for dog sitting, I have marked no for many of the extra dog care options, but I am comfortable giving oral and injected medicine to and taking care of senior cats.
