Pet care experience
I have been living with cats since the 1990's. One of the first lessons that I learned is that each cat is unique. To balance their uniqueness, cats are incredibly communicative! Your cat will let me know with it's body language, when and how it wants to be approached. Where it loves to be petted, when it wants to eat, what toys are it's favorite and what type of surfaces, it loves to lounge on. I love studying animal behavior, whether it's handling animals as a docent at the zoo, re-watching every episode of My Cat From Hell or studying the works of great animal psychologists such as Dr Doddman. I am always looking for ways to improve how I can interact with your cat. But most importantly, I want this to be a vacation for your cat too. I want them to feel safe and enjoy the play treats and cuddles that are there whenever they ask.
Reviews
Kathryn was great! She is very knowledgeable about cats, and you can tell she is very experienced with pets and cares a lot about them. I would definitely book with Kathryn again!
I have known Kathryn for 14 years. She has taken in stray cats and gave them a home when no one else would. She is the only person I know of that spent hundreds of dollars on chemo for a cat. She cat sits for all of her neighbors (myself included and I have three). My cats trust her and so do I. She is patient as one of my cats is very anti-social. Kathryn was able to get him to interact with her and play with silly cat toys.
Kathryn S. discovered her neighbor had moved and abandoned a cat. She rescued the cat, took it to the Vet and made sure it had the treatment it needed. She then cared for the cat, in her home, until it was well. After all this, she interviewed potential adopters until she was able to find a loving, safe home for the cat.

The cats will have access to the first floor. Eventually my upstairs office as well. As the upstairs office is not yet cat proofed, I will work downstairs when I have a cat visitor. Although they will have a large quantity of places to "hide', I know these places and pretend not to see them. Every cat needs a place to him/herself. After a cat has left and before a new cat will come, the entire areas where the cat has access will be disinfected with Bactrokill. This will prevent transference of any unknown illnesses that a previous cat may have had. Of course this includes that toys that the cats will enjoy during their minimum twice daily exercise sessions.

Availability
I work mostly from home. Although I do have client meetings on site, I am home the majority of time. I will be able to quickly respond to any of your cat's needs. Of course, if they want to help me work, they are welcome to be in my office with me to shase balled up paper or shred documents to their heart's content.
