I have had cats my entire life. I have never met a cat I didn’t like—or a cat that didn’t seem to like me. I currently share my home with Bishnu, my 1.5-year-old Ragdoll. Recently, I said goodbye to my beloved 18-year-old cat, Virgil, who formed an immediate bond with Bishnu when he joined our family. Before that, I lost my sweet Monet in 2024 at the age of 14. I had the privilege of raising both Virgil and Monet from kittens, and I was honored to hold each of them in my arms as they peacefully transitioned. Over the years, I traveled across the country with my cats, cared for them through every stage of life, and supported them through both vibrant health and the challenges that come with aging. As a result, I am comfortable caring for kittens, adult cats, and senior cats alike. Senior cats hold a particularly special place in my heart. Having cared for my own beloved companions into their golden years, I understand the extra patience, attentiveness, and compassion they often need. There is something incredibly meaningful about supporting a senior cat’s comfort, dignity, and quality of life. Whether that means administering medications, providing subcutaneous fluids, accommodating mobility changes, or simply offering a calm and reassuring presence, I am honored to care for them with the devotion they deserve. I have hands-on experience administering medications and providing subcutaneous fluids, and I am comfortable caring for cats with more complex medical or age-related needs. In addition to attentive physical care, I am happy to provide Reiki and gentle energy work for animals whose guardians value that support. Animals have always seemed to feel at ease around me, and caring for them comes naturally. I have a calm, grounded presence and a natural ability to connect with cats of all personalities. I am reliable, responsible, communicative, and deeply devoted to the well-being of the animals entrusted to my care. I work full-time as a regulatory affairs professional and also teach yoga, but cat sitting is truly a passion of mine. It is a meaningful way for me to connect with more cats and support fellow cat guardians. While your beloved companion is in my care, I will treat them with the same love, respect, attention, and devotion that I give my own. Your cat’s safety, comfort, happiness, and well-being will always be my highest priority. 🐾
