Katherine can care for

Cats

Availability

Each morning I wake up and feed my two cats some dry food, scoop their liter boxes, and play with them using their fishing rod toy. My days are flexible as I work toward a career pivot, so I spend time Rovering to care for other cats. When I'm home for the night, I feed each of my cats wet food and continue playing with them.

Cat care experience

I've always loved cats since I was a kid and helped take care of family cats. I once rescued a kitten and raised her through adulthood when I was in high school / college, I've cared for roommates' cats, and I now have two rescue cats of my own. We live in West Town and I found Penny and Teddy at Harmony House for Cats, my favorite shelter in the city. I have experience with special needs cats, as Penny has asthma, Teddy is always getting into trouble that often requires oral medication administration, and I help care for my sister's cat with diabetes by giving insulin injections. I'll give your babies lots of love and attention and follow any instructions you desire! :)

She was super communicative throughout the booking process, and my cat warmed up to her quickly. Have already recommended her to others. Super grateful for Katie!

Having a senior cat can bring me a lot of anxiety about leaving him in another’s hands but Katie did such a phenomenal job! She gave great updates, followed strict medical instructions, and gave me a lot of comfort in leaving my cat in her care.
