Professional Feline Grooming and Pet Sitting I was born in Bowness, Calgary and my family moved to Cochrane in 1984 when the population was less than 4,000!

It was an ideal place to grow up and after a few moves and some eye-opening world travel, I am once again a Cochranite, although the town is much different than when I first moved into Calgary almost fifteen years ago. I am a self-admitted crazy cat lady and an all-around animal nut through and through. My life has been filled with critters of all kinds; from many types of domestic pets to a wide

variety of farm animals, as well as wild and semi-wild animals. I can't imagine it any other way. I am certified in pet first aid and worked for years in veterinary hospitals, both family and emergency. I look forward to adding your furry, feathery and scaley family members to my extended critter family. Contact me today to arrange a meet and greet with you and your pets!

Please share this page to Help Bring Murphy Home. There is a very good chance that someone has him and needs to see how much he is missed by his family!

Murphy has been missing since July 7, 2024 from Cochrane, AB. He was last seen at Spring Hill RV Park. Please spread the word so we can get this out to all the local Canadian people. We need all your help to find him.

Oreo had his very first ‘spaw’ day with me and feels so much better already. I hope he knows he looks like a show cat! 💕🐾✨💕

Happy Caturday!🐾
Wilford is a newly adopted gentleman who came in for a fresh start! He took to grooming like a pro and started posing the second I got my camera out. I love his confidence!

Of course they understand! Do they care? Absolutely not! 😹

We know that felines are smart, but do cats understand when you tell them "no"? Find out the answer here on CattitudeDaily.com.

This kitty has the sweetest face! Bonded pairs are such loving additions to the family; consider adopting Roo and her sister Kanga!💕🐾💕

Roo’s sweet, playful personality shines through in her curiosity — she’s always exploring, but never straying too far from her loved ones. Whether it’s chasing after a toy, gently pawing for attention, or simply lounging around, Roo’s friendly spirit and loving heart make her the perfect feline friend. We would love to see this sweet girl find a friend, especially with her sister Kanga!

I’m sure glad none of my petsitting clients ever greet me like this! 😳😹

Twitch is still strutting around like a king after his groom. His confidence is through the roof! A clean cat is a happy cat! #catgrooming #acleancatisahappycat #catlover #cochranealberta #cochrane

I affectionately refer to Twitch as my little dirtbag. He’s not a fan of grooming but he has trouble keeping his long hair under control. He’s also prone to hairballs, so regular grooming is important. He’s a very challenging cat to groom but it’s all worth it when he feels like a supermeowdel afterwards! #catgrooming #cochranealberta #acleancatisahappycat #custompetboutique #ncgi #cattyshackvac #lespoochsluxury #chrischristensen #happyhoodie #wetcat #catbathtime #cochraneloveslocal #catlover #awhiskeraway

Sophie and I hope all our Canadian friends are enjoying a beautiful Thanksgiving! 🍁🇨🇦🦃🍂 #catsinhats #thanksgivingcats #turkeycat #cochrane #cochraneloveslocal #cochranealberta #awhiskeraway #catsitting

Leroy is on the lam! Please call 587-583-7297 if you’ve seen him!

My Story

I was born in Bowness, Calgary and my family moved to Cochrane in 1984 when the population was less than 4,000! It was an ideal place to grow up and after a few moves and some eye-opening world travel, I am once again a Cochranite, although the town is much different than when I first moved into Calgary almost fifteen years ago. I am a self-admitted crazy cat lady and an all-around animal nut through and through. My life has been filled with critters of all kinds; from many types of domestic pets to a wide variety of farm animals, as well as wild and semi-wild animals. I can't imagine it any other way. I am certified in pet first aid and worked for years in veterinary hospitals, both family and emergency. Currently you can often find me caring for pets in their own homes all over Cochrane and grooming felines out of my home salon. I look forward to adding your furry, feathery and scaley family members to my extended critter family. Contact me today to arrange a meet and greet with you and your pets!
