May is Pet Sitter Safety Month, and at Slinky Cat at Home, safety is built into every cat sitting visit across North County San Diego.

For us, "Peace of Mind Kitty Care" means caring not only for your cats, but also for your home, routines, and overall sense of comfort while you're away.

A few ways we help keep everyone safe:

• Every new client begins with a Meet & Greet so we can learn your cat's personality, routine, favorite "safe" spots, and home setup before their kitty staycation begins.
• We carefully follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions exactly as requested. No guessing, ever.
• We double-check doors, gates, and home security at every visit, because cats are clever, curious, and sometimes surprisingly fast.
• We approach each cat calmly and respectfully, especially shy or sensitive kitties, allowing them to set the pace and build trust over time.
• We scan for potential concerns in the environment and communicate proactively if something seems off.
• Our team stays connected throughout the day, and we maintain insurance, professional standards, and ongoing education to support the cats and homes in our care.

Most importantly, we believe safety and trust go hand in paw. It's one of the many reasons families in Carlsbad, Encinitas, Oceanside, San Marcos, and Cardiff choose a professional cat sitter instead of relying on a quick favor from a neighbor or friend.

Thank you for trusting us with your cats, your homes, and your peace of mind. Book your next Cat Sitter with us at slinkycatathome.com

Hugs and Purrs,
Carmen and The Slinky Cat Team

Happy Mother's Day to all of our pawsome cat mamas out there!

Thank you for trusting us to be the tias and aunties to your precious kitties. There is no greater compliment than being handed the keys to your home and the care of your cat babies. We know how much they mean to you because they mean the world to us too.

Being a cat mom is a special kind of love. It's knowing their favorite nap spot, their purrferred treat, and exactly where they like to be scratched. It's waking up with a cat on your pillow (or your face) and wouldn't have it any other way.

Today we celebrate YOU, our amazing Slinky Cat families. You are the reason we do what we do.

From your Tia Carmen and The Slinky Cat Team... feliz Dia de las Madres to all our cat moms! We love being part of your village.

Hugs and Purrs,
Tia Carmen and The Slinky Cat Team

It's National Pet Week so here are some fun cat facts that might surprise you!

Did you know that 49 million U.S. households have at least one cat? That's 37% of all American homes! Cat ownership jumped 23% in 2024 alone. Cats are having a real moment.

Here in San Diego County, about 25% of households have cats, and that number is likely even higher than reported since our indoor kitties aren't exactly out on the sidewalk advertising their presence. You don't see cats out on walks the way you see dogs, so it's easy to think there are fewer of them. But trust us... they're here. We care for hundreds every year.

Multi-cat households are on the rise too. Homes with three or more cats increased by 36% in just the last six years. So if you've been thinking about adding a second (or third) kitty to your crew, you're not alone!

Happy National Pet Week to all our North County cat families. Whether you've got one kitty or a whole clowder, we're honored to care for them.

Hugs and Purrs, Carmen and The Slinky Cat Team

Happy Cinco de Meow from your favorite chip thief! We know not everyone celebrates, but here in San Diego, plenty of our neighbors were out enjoying the festivities yesterday and we hope you all had a pawsome and safe Cinco de Mayo!

Or as Franco likes to call it... Cinco de Meow.

(A friendly PSA from The Slinky Cat Team: chips aren't the healthiest snack for kitties, so we keep the people food out of paw's reach.)

Wishing all our Slinky Cat families a wonderful week ahead!

Hugs and Purrs,
Carmen and The Slinky Cat Team

Happy National Cat Lady Day! These gorgeous portraits by Arnold Genthe (1869 to 1942) prove that cat ladies have always been the picture of elegance. Loving your cat has never gone out of style, and we're not kitten around about that!

Carmen and the whole Slinky Cat Team are lifelong cat ladies serving North County's finest felines from Del Mar to Oceanside. We didn't just choose the cat lady life. The cat lady life chose us. And honestly? We wouldn't have it any other way.

Pawsome cat ladies, this one's for you.

We want to see YOUR cat lady moment! Share a selfie with your kitty in the comments or send it to us in a DM. Let's celebrate together!

We’re hiring 🐾
(and looking for someone very special)

At Slinky Cat at Home, we care for cats the White Paw way — calm, thoughtful, and deeply attentive. Many of our kitties are seniors or need extra support, so this role is perfect for someone who loves both cats and their wellbeing.

This might be for you if you:
• Love cats (and their humans) deeply
• Are calm, detail-oriented, and reliable
• Have experience (or interest) in giving meds
• Want meaningful, flexible, part-time work

Bonus points if you’ve worked in vet med, rescue, or with senior kitties 🖤

This is not just pet sitting — it’s trusted, in-home feline care.

Nothing makes our hearts purr louder than hearing we've earned a client's trust, especially when it means they can jet off to Italy knowing all 3 kitties are in the best hands! 🐾

Thank you so much for this pawsome 5-star Google review and for choosing Slinky Cat at Home as your furrever cat care team. Knowing your fur babies were happy, safe, and loved while you explored Italy for nearly two weeks... that's exactly what we're here for.

Welcome to the Slinky Cat family!
We can't wait to see Salem, Khali, and Herc again.

Miso and Mochi have been helping with the laundry.

We are not entirely sure they are doing it right but they are very committed to the process and we did not want to discourage them.

The faucet situation is apparently part of the system. We have stopped asking.

Does your cat have a favorite room they have decided is their personal workspace?

Tell us about it in the comments.

Hugs and Purrs,
Carmen and The Slinky Cat Team

Introducing Yashin. His Floofiness. Lord of the Blanket. Keeper of the Brush.

Yashin does not simply get groomed. He holds court while his team of dedicated attendants tend to his magnificent coat, and he tolerates it with the quiet dignity of a cat who knows exactly how beautiful he is.

This is what a Slinky Cat visit looks like for the fluffier clients. Attentive, unhurried, and completely tailored to whatever His Majesty requires that day.

Tag someone in your life who has this exact energy. And Happy National Pet Day!

Hugs and Purrs,
Carmen and The Slinky Cat Team
