IG: parkslope.cat.whisperer * Accepting new clients ONLY in North Park Slope area. Meet & Greet required for 1st booking. ** When booking, please include: 1) location/cross-streets, 2) timing flexibility & preferred time range, 3) confirm if cat has contagious conditions or has had cat cold/URI before (past colds/URI are fine, but helps me take proper precautions), 4) any medical needs. Lifelong cat lover & cat behavior consultant with 20+ yrs cat care experience. I've been a cat parent to 5 cats, from kitten to senior age. Specialized in shy cats, and I prioritize enrichment and play. I understand expectations and concerns cat parents share, and am lovingly committed to keeping your cat happy, safe and healthy. Because cat sitting is a long-term passion project of mine, I care more about quality time getting to know your cat, rather than just maximizing total # of pet clients. For cat clients, I patiently commit myself to figure out how to make your cats feel safe, happy and relaxed enough around me to purr on their own timing (& will send you purring videos once they do!). If interested in cat behavior consulting, please feel free to ask. Experienced with kittens, senior cats with special needs/chronic illnesses, rescued ferals, and cats that are anxious, extremely shy or have neurological challenges. I've also administered oral, ear, eye & asthma medications. Background in feline enrichment and behavioral change via fear-free positive reinforcement. For regular repeat clients, I can offer some free behavior modification via positive reinforcement requests (i.e., clicker training, departure desensitization training & counter-conditioning for cats with separation anxiety, mental enrichment training like learning to sit, spin or high-5), harness training for airplane travel, kitten socialization or feline enrichment requests (i.e., treat treasure hunts). A proactive problem solver, I'm always prepared & communicative in troubleshooting unexpected pet problems with you. Cleaning up cat vomit, food spills or bathroom accidents are not a problem for me! I ensure your cat gets what it needs to stay healthy & for my previous cat clients, have fixed cat water fountains, bathed older cats that tripped in their poop, cleaned food bowls daily to prevent cat acne, and captured a bee already in home that cat tried to play with.
