Safety, trust & environment

I can not care for your cat at my home due to an elderly cat who does not get along with other animals. But I would be glad to care for your cats in their home, making sure that they have water, food, any medicine they might need, and a clean litter box.

Information Michael F. would like to know about your pet

Any information you can provide about your cat's personality and preferences would be helpful. Anything I can do to make them more comfortable would be great to know. Thank you!

A typical day

I understand that cats each have their own personality and your cat may or may not be receptive to my presence in their home on any given day. I always talk to the cats in a happy, soothing tone. If your cat is receptive to being pet, held, and/or brushed, I am glad to oblige. If your cat is stressed by my presence, I can quickly give them the food, water, and/or medicine they need, clean their litter box, and be on my way. If your cat needs to burn off some energy, I would be glad to play with them and their favorite toy(s).

Cat care experience

I have been taking care of my own cats since 2003, including elderly cats. I truly enjoy being around cats and giving them the care and attention that they need. I have tons of experience administering medicine both orally and transdermally via the ears. I also have plenty of experience administering subcutaneous fluids if necessary.

Michael was wonderful! He took great care of my cat and sent me daily updates with pictures. I have already re-booked with him for the next time I’m traveling!

Hank sure enjoys the drop in visits from Michael. Michael checks the water, food, and litter - but then spends some quality time playing, petting, and interacting with Hank (and sending a few pics) . Michael's drop in visits during our last two vacations have been great,and we will use him again when available.
