My Buddie will be a buddy to yours!

Pet care experience

I have a Youtube channel (@SomeBuddieToLove) with videos of Buddie. I make videos of cats that stay with me, so let me know if you're ok with this! If not, that's totally fine too :) Buddie is a very friendly cat who approaches newcomers and wants to play with them. If there seems to be tension between them, I have treats and toys to distract them, or can leave them in separate rooms. He does have FIV, but I have rarely seen him hostile to others. That being said, the cats can be separated to have no contact with each other if requested. I adopted Buddie over 3 years ago, and I love interacting with him and other cats! I also volunteer at a shelter by fostering cats that are stressed out and need a loving home. There's no such thing as a "bad cat" to me - they all love you back in their own way! I can provide periodic updates including photos and videos if requested, and can accommodate medication mixed in food (Buddie has arthritis so he also takes daily supplements). I have plenty of scratchers and toys around the house, and a lot of hiding spots if your cat is shy!

We had Katie watch Uma since we were out of town. She did some drop-ins and we are really satisfied. I highly recommend her, Uma was calm and happy when we returned.

Such a great experience with Katie! This is my second time using her service, and I highly recommend her. Super responsive, timely, and most importantly, knows how to interact with cats.

Safety, trust & environment

I'm very attentive to anything that looks or sounds out of the ordinary. If the cats want their free time I relax on my own in a quiet setting to be on the lookout for anything. If Buddie and my client's cat don't get along, I would physically separate them in separate rooms.

Information Katie S. would like to know about your pet

- Does your cat have fleas? - When was the cat's most recent check up, and is there anything I should look out for? (Taking precaution for my own cat) - Any allergies? Can they be given treats? - Any specific feeding schedule?

A typical day

I generally let Buddie interact with other cats, but I will often give them treats to help loosen up. I also have scratchers, toys, and a big cat tower that they can use.

I go into office a couple times a week. My cat is always around me, so I have no problem taking breaks from work and take care of his needs.
