I’ve always loved all animals but didn’t actually own my very own cat until about 4 years ago. After having a tremendous amount of dog, bird and fish experience since childhood, I couldn’t help but think how much easier cats were and how comforting, sweet, snuggly, playful and funny they really could be! I’m now the proud owner of 4 adopted cats, all of whom were adopted from Medfield Animal Shelter over the course of the last 4 years. Our newest cat has epilepsy and is managed taking prescription medication twice daily. I’m very familiar with all types of cat personalities - scared/shy, super social and friendly, as well as formerly feral or newly adopted. With the latter two, I know to tread very lightly, tend to their basic needs and keep a safe distance while also being present in the same room as them to bring them some comfort and keep them company. Otherwise, I’m all in for cat cuddles, petting and playing. I’m experienced with distributing medication (liquid and pills) to cats. I’m also familiar with changing out bags on robot-type litter boxes as well as the traditional litter box trays that require scooping. I’d love the opportunity to care for your cat(s) and look forward to meeting them!
