We have been a cat family for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was surrounded by five plus cats at any time. In our household, the cats definitely come first! I would not have it any other way. I have experience caring for kitties with special needs. My own kitty, Shy, has feline asthma and I am very experienced with pilling cats, and administering cat inhalers. We always rescue cats that have special needs, or have been in the shelter the longest. Our first cat, Harley, was 11 when we rescued him from the local shelter. Harley had severe digestive issues and needed a very special diet. He also had aggression issues from his struggles early in life, however, after some time we were able to turn him into a snuggle bug. I have so much patience and love when it comes to kitties. I frequently care for my parent's and sister's cats, we have 6 cats between our households, all with their own special needs. I would be delighted to care for your kitty or kitties. Nothing makes me happier than cuddling these little fur balls and making sure they are happy, comfortable and fed while you are away.
