Cat Care By Catkin

Cat Care By Catkin Hello, I'm Catkin! I have 20+ years of pet sitting experience, with an emphasis on cats. Trustworthy, compassionate, educated, and insured.🐈♿🏳️‍🌈🖤✊

I have 15 years of pet sitting experience, with an emphasis on cats and their unique needs. I have also worked as a veterinary kennel tech/cat caregiver, a shelter feline animal care technician, a shelter cat adoptions counselor, and a pet retail associate. For over a decade, I oversaw the care of an outdoor community cat colony that lived on my property, and I also volunteered for local rescues a

nd fostered kittens and cats, including mothers with young kittens as well as hospice cats with cancer and other terminal conditions. I have a soft spot for "challenging" cats and earned a reputation for rehabilitating cats with complex medical and behavioral conditions. I am experienced at dispensing medications, giving subcutaneous fluids, and checking blood glucose in diabetic cats and giving them insulin. I've also cared for cats of all ages, from neonatal kittens to geriatric cats. Currently, I share my home with six cats, from age one to sixteen years, and I also work as an administrative assistant at the IU School of Nursing. In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with my cats, bird watching, nature walks, reading, and writing (blog coming soon!). In order to better serve my clients, I plan to continue my training and education. Cats are amazing creatures, and there's always something new to learn about them and their care. Feline enrichment is important to me, and I'll be sure to respect your cat's space, boundaries, and routines. If they consent, I'll provide enrichment time through play and petting, but if that's not their thing, that's totally fine! If you'd like to learn more about me and how I can give your cat their own "stay-cation" while you travel, please call or text me at (317) 401-9690 or email me at [email protected]. Website coming soon! =^.,.^=

🎉 HOORAY — This is our LAST WEEK here! 🎉

This weekend marks our FINAL big event and the LAST EVER adoption event at 2600 S. Harding St. 🐾❤️

Honestly… this one is going to be a little bittersweet. This building has held so many memories, so many second chances, and so many happy tails over the years. Before we close these doors and begin our exciting move to our brand-new shelter on May 4th, we want to send this place off the BEST way possible…

✨ By making this the BIGGEST adoption event EVER! ✨

Join us THIS Saturday & Sunday for one last unforgettable weekend full of love, adoptions, and celebration!

🐶 Lots of amazing adoptable pets ready to meet you
🌭 Snacks & refreshments
⛺ Outdoor tents
🎨 Temporary tattoos for the kiddos… and yes, adults too LOL
❤️ A chance to help us clear out as many animals as possible before move day!

Let’s empty these kennels, fill homes with love, and give these animals the fresh start they deserve before we start our next chapter.

Come celebrate with us, make some memories, and help us close out 2600 S. Harding Street in the most meaningful way possible.

Let’s make history together. Let’s make this weekend HUGE. 🐾🏡

Hi friends, I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. Almost six weeks ago, I learned that my oldest girl cat, Calypso, has intestinal lymphoma. She was very sick a week and a half ago with an upper respiratory infection, but with an antibiotic and other supportive care, she's feeling much better. She even played with her favorite toy, the TurboScratcher aka Spinny. 😺

We are taking one day at a time, and her quality of life is of the utmost importance. Caly turns 16 next month, and I hope she'll be here for her special day. I'm still pet sitting, so don't worry, and please reach out if you need me for your summer vacation or other travel plans. ⛱️🐈‍⬛☀️
