Pet care experience

Parent to medically complex kitties

I’ve been a cat lover my whole life and would love to meet yours! I have 3 medically complex 4 yr old kitties with allergies, autoimmune conditions, urinary issues, and anal gland infections. I administer oral pills and liquid twice daily for them, and have experience with subcutaneous injections. The first cats in my life were outdoor cats in rural Michigan. Some of my fondest memories are of the excitement on the bus ride home from school to play with my cat when I got home. While in college, I raised a kitten with my partner at the time and introduced a second cat a year later. They were both super energetic and loved play time with catnip toys! After that, I adopted a senior kitty who ended up being my first medically complex fur baby. She had her remaining teeth removed recently when I adopted her, but we dealt with chronic ear and eye infections as well as inflammatory bowel disease. A few months after she passed, she sent me my current three medically complex fur babies to look after. My experience with dogs is less extensive, but I’d still love to meet yours! Growing up we’d dog sit for my grandpa’s medium sized dog and my best friend had 2 wire fox terriers. More recently, I’ve watched my friend’s tiny chihuahua for a few days who got along well with my cats 🐶🐱

Rachael is amazing, I highly recommend! Our cat had been very sick with multiple medications. Rachael was very capable, sweet and affectionate with our cat and she did great! Rachael also does a wonderful job communicating and taking care of little things as they came up.

Once again Rachael took amazing care of my cat. She has a special way about her that my cat is drawn to. She always puts in extra care and brushes, pets, and plays with him. Her notes to me are so detailed that I know Ezra is well taken care of while I’m away.
