Pet care experience
I have volunteering at a local cat shelter for over the past 7 years. Part of my time was spent on enrichment activities. This was working with cats who were having a difficult time adjusting to their new situation. I would work with them individually to help them adjust and become more socialized. Last year I took training in helping cats with stress and received the certifications below. - Stress Reduction: Happy and Healthy Cats on a Fast Track to Adoption - Feline Communication: How to Speak Cat - How Stress is Sabotaging Your Cat Adoption Efforts - Fear Free Shelter Program - Helping Cats Who Hiss and Hide: Assessment, Behavior Modification and Re-Homing Strategies I recently adopted mature cat who had spent most of her life in the shelter. Over the past 20 years I have been caring for mature and senior cats. I am use to giving cats medicine and understand the needs of older cats. One required hospice care when she was diagnosed with heart failure and was terminal. She was given 6 weeks to live. Through daily care and love she lived another 6 months.
Reviews
Nadine is fantastic. We feel lucky to have found her. Our cat Roxy has always been happy with her friend Nadine caring for her. Recently we added a second cat, who is much more timid. She usually doesn’t come out for strangers, but Nadine knows how to make cats feel safe. Nadine’s been flexible when we’ve had plans change, and is 100% reliable. Highly recommended.
Nadine is very communicative and kind to my cat, Max. This is the second time I have hired her to care for Max, and I will definitely reach out to her again in the future to see if she can care for him when/if I am away again. Thank you, Nadine!
Nadine takes great care of my cats when we are away. The older one needs a special feeder filled and the younger one likes to hide, but Nadine ensures they are both doing well. She provides great updates giving me peace of mind. If you need someone to check on your fur babies, don’t hesitate to ask for Nadine!
Nadine did a fantastic job of looking after our kitties!

Safety, trust & environment
Sorry, I live in a small house with my cat and do not have the facilities to offer boarding services. I am very respectful of your pet's environment and will try to treat it like my own.
Information Nadine M. would like to know about your pet
It is important to know the pet's environment and their food needs. I also like to know if they have a favorite hiding place, just I can check up on them.
A typical day
During a visit I will first check on the cat and talk to it. Any medication will be taken care next. Then take care of he/she/they feeding and litter box needs per instructions provided by the owner. Then I will spend time playing, petting or providing enrichment for the cat(s), if he/she/they show any interest. I will try to spend at least 30 minutes per visit. I will provide daily texts and pictures of your cat(s) to update you.
