I was fortunate enough to be born into a cat family; in my early childhood we had four cats who I loved dearly. I feel like they were the ones who taught me early on about patience and how strong of a connection you can form with animals. My family has two cats now, including my best friend (and who I call my “soul cat”) Aurora. While my cats have always lived primarily with my parents, I consider them my own too even when I lived in my own apartment. Between living with cats and cat sitting for multiple family friends, I’ve gained a lot of experience in reading their energy and caring for them as they need. I have experience caring for the dog-like cats who are very welcoming to everyone, happy to be pet wherever, and just want to show affection. I have even more experience with shy and/or scared kitties, who need to feel safe and gain trust in their caretaker. I can easily the body language of your cat and proceed with caretaking in a way to ensure they feel comfortable. Your cat being well cared for is my main focus, while I also prioritize gaining their trust and following their lead.
