What is a little churu on the nose amongst ? Never let a tiny mess get in the way of enjoying a treat. Pudge certainly didn't! 😺 🐾.

Ms. Margaret may be 13 years old, but chin scritches from her Furever Friends' sitter have her side flopping like a kitten.

TGIF, we have a whole weekend of visiting of our furever friends. How are you and your feline companions spending the weekend?

Did you know Furever Friends offers midday visits? Long workdays don't have to mean lonely, anxious afternoons for your precious furball! Whether it's once a week or every afternoon, our team is here to provide comforting companionship, enriching playtime, and, of course, a midday treat (or two).

Gabriel developed anxiety when his hooman returned to in-home work post-Covid. Our team of substitute hoomans dote on him between his morning and afternoon naps. His anxiety and anxiety-related bathroom issues have disappeared. It's amazing what some cuddles can cure. 💕

We're posting this, so our book club knows why we haven't finished this month's novel. 🐈‍⬛️📚

Does anyone else have this problem?

Not every cat is a fan of petting.....and that's totally OKAY!

Understanding feline autonomy is key to a purr-fect bond. Our cat sitters use research-backed approaches to respect your fur baby's boundaries and ease stress. The American Association of Feline Practitioners endorsed strategies include interactive play, quiet co-existence, treat time from a distance, scent swapping, gentle grooming, music and honoring safe spaces. We've got the purr-fect formula for a happy, stress-free kitty!

What is your cat's love language?💕

02/06/2024

"What greater gift than the love of a cat?"- Charles Dickens.

Cats are unique, automonous beings who deserve respect and understanding. This is the fundamental basis for the Furever Friends ethis. We are not owed a cat's affection; rather, it is the sweetest acknowledgement of a cat feeling safety, love and desire for affection.

🔥 Hot Take 🔥:

A cat’s demeanor shouldn’t be molded to fit our expectations. 🚫 They’re not obligated to be affectionate or lap cats.

I struggle when people inquire about “training” their cats to be more cuddly.

Love is about trust and connection, not coercion.

Affection and cuddles aren’t prerequisites for a meaningful bond. Trust and love stand on their own, independent of physical closeness.

Cats have the right to be themselves. They do not owe us affection or cuddles.

Affection should always be a choice made by the cat, not a demand we place upon them. 🐾❤️

Happy Monday to our furever friends!

Fayette is bringing some serious cuteness with a little game of "peak-a-boo". This former street kitty is everyone's best friend. 👋

Cats are popular family pets that bring smiles and laughs with their silly antics. Although their quirky behavior may seem senseless to us, there is a purpose for it: communication. Through behavior and body language, our cats show their feelings and needs to us. The better we understand this method...
