🐱🤍 A Little Cat Question... 🤍🐱

What's one thing your cat does that makes you smile every single day?

For me, it's the little quirks and routines that make every cat so unique 🥹🐾

Some greet you at the door.
Some sleep upside down.
Some chirp at birds through the window.
Some insist on supervising every task in the house 😂 I know my April does!

It's one of the reasons I love caring for cats so much — no two are ever the same.

👇 Tell me your cat's cutest habit. I'd love to hear about them (and photos are always welcome! 🐱📸)

🐾🤍 Thinking About Cat Care While You're Away? 🤍🐾

One thing I hear a lot is:

"I hate leaving my cat when I go away."

And honestly, I completely understand.

Cats thrive on familiarity, routine and being in their own environment, which is why I offer professional home visits rather than boarding.

Your cat gets to stay where they're happiest — in their own home, with their favourite sleeping spots, toys and daily routine 🐱🏡

During each visit I can provide:

🐾 Feeding & fresh water
🐾 Litter tray cleaning
🐾 Playtime & enrichment
🐾 Cuddles and companionship (on their terms, of course!)
🐾 Medication if required
🐾 Photo and video updates after every visit

I'm fully insured, DBS checked and have a lifetime of experience with cats, including those who are shy, nervous or need a little extra patience 🤍

My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your time away knowing your cat is safe, happy and cared for.

If you have any holidays, weekends away or work trips coming up, feel free to send me a message and we can chat about what would work best for your cat 🐾✨

🤍🐾 A little favour from my lovely clients 🐾🤍

If I've cared for your cats and you've been happy with my service, I'd be so grateful if you could take a moment to leave a review.

As a small local business, reviews make a huge difference and help other cat owners feel confident when choosing care for their precious fur babies 🐱✨

Thank you so much for all your support 🤍

✨🐾 WHAT IS REIKI FOR CATS? 🐾✨

A few people have asked about the Reiki sessions I offer alongside my cat visits, so I thought I’d explain a little more 🤍

Reiki is a gentle, calming energy therapy designed to promote relaxation, comfort and emotional wellbeing ✨

For animals, Reiki is always completely led by them — nothing is forced, and many cats naturally respond really beautifully to the calm energy 🐱🤍

Reiki may help:
✨ Reduce stress & anxiety
✨ Support nervous or timid cats
✨ Encourage relaxation
✨ Create a sense of calm & comfort
✨ Support emotional wellbeing during owner absence

Some cats become extra sleepy and relaxed afterwards, while others simply enjoy sitting nearby and soaking up the calm atmosphere 🥹🐾

I especially love offering Reiki to anxious or sensitive cats who may struggle with change, new routines or being apart from their owners 🤍

My approach is always gentle, intuitive and respectful of your cat’s boundaries and personality ✨🐱

If you’d like to know more about Reiki add-ons during visits, feel free to pop me a message 🤍🐾

🥹🤍 Messages like this honestly mean so much to me…

“Aww he’s going to miss you loads but hopefully I’ll try and get another holiday in before the end of year so I’m hoping you will happy to come back to see him. I will be singing your praises so hopefully you’ll get some more cat friends as I couldn’t be happier with you for looking after my little man.” 🐾✨

Building trust and bonds with the cats I care for is genuinely the most rewarding part of what I do 🤍🐱 He was a shy boy but we became friends very quickly!

Knowing they feel happy, relaxed and loved while their owners are away means everything to me 🥹

Thank you so much for trusting me with your precious little man ✨🐾
