I took in two kittens that needed a foster. If anyone is interested in one or both of them let me know! Fee is $75 each. They will be spayed or neutered, UTD on Rabies and FVRCP, virus tested, dewormed, and microchipped. This is a private adoption - no agency or shelter.

Gemini - Shorthaired Patched Tabby and White Girl.
Gimli - Longhaired Brown Tabby and White Boy

They are about 4 months old.

They are considered urgent as they will go back outside if no indoor home is found. They came from a backyard in Westchester with a registered feral cat caretaker. Sadly there are too many cats looking for homes at the moment. Please spread the word too. Thank you!

Heads up that Labor Day weekend is coming up! If you are planning to be out of town between 8/30 and 9/2 and need pet sitting, please let me know asap.

Baby says go ahead and try to leave. Your keys are being held hostage!

I am not a fan of automated litter boxes. Jackson Galaxy goes over the reasons that they are not good for cats.

Automatic litter boxes: are they really worth the hype? In my decades of experience working with cats - many of whom have litter box issues - I’ve found them...

Your day isn’t complete until you have been judged by a calico!

First time lap cuddle for this cat. What is happening?!! I have been sitting for them about 3 years now.

07/21/2024

Why is it always the carpet?

07/20/2024

Pro tip - if you use automatic feeders, please make sure that you have fresh batteries in them before you leave for your trip. At the least have extra batteries available. The instruction book can be handy if it decides to go rogue on your sitter too.

One of the peculiarities of some cats is that they love to join you in the bathroom. Here are some reasons why they like to do so!

Always when I am trying to leave! 😂

Kitty was like why are you playing with my toy? 😆

07/05/2024

It’s a two toy morning! I wonder if this is a kitty approval rating. If so, I am trending upward!

You don’t want cheap pet care. Whether you have a cat, dog, rabbit, hamster, or pet bird, you do get what you pay for when it comes to professional pet care. Keep in mind that the pet sitter is also keeping an eye on your house and property. Make it worth their while and be grateful for a job well done. That is the only way to enjoy your vacation in peace and for your pets to stay happy and healthy.

I am bonded and insured. I have passed pet first aid and CPR courses. I regularly attend lectures and classes to increase my knowledge in pet care and the industry. I also have 14 years of pet sitting experience.

Sidney says she is in desperate need of love right now!

Experts say to not leave cats alone more than 8 hours at a time. Which is why I advocate for twice a day pet sitting visits when you are away.

My cat Bella suddenly couldn’t find her feet on Wednesday night. While it was scary, she is already improving. I am glad that vestibular disease will resolve within a couple of days with support and appropriate treatment. We have 28 days of antibiotics ahead of us! Honestly she took it in stride while I was more of a wreck!

Feline vestibular disease is a condition in which a cat suddenly develops incoordination, falling or circling to one side, involuntary darting of the eyes back and forth (nystagmus), a head tilt, and often nausea or vomiting. These clinical signs usually appear suddenly, many times in less than an h...

They often won’t say thank you but they do appreciate all you do for them! Happy Mother’s Day!

And kitty has decided that my lap will do!

Enjoying some playtime with a kitty client. Play is good for their emotional, physical, and mental well being.

Some of us are gorgeous all the time. She is a pro at taking photos too.

When you are a very pretty Siamese cat and you know it!

Looks like I have a new friend.

A quick PSA on flexi leashes. Make sure you examine them regularly for fraying. There is also the section in the handle that you don’t see. A frayed leash could mean a loose dog in the near future. I am always happiest with a regular leash.

I make it a habit to always check my cut flower arrangements for hidden dangers to pets. Google images is a good way to check your flowers.

When you have a mixed arrangement, it can be difficult to spot a troublesome flower.

While lilies are a well known danger to cats, this particular one is ok. The thing with lilies is that the pollen can cause issues when it becomes air born or when you touch the flower and then your pet.

Bella, my old girl, is happy to report that she is just fine. Sorry for the scare mom. She visited the vet today and got some medicine for her arthritis. We are also starting up her B12 injections.

Enjoying some kitty snuggles before the storm hits. Stay safe everyone. Lots of impressive lightning already.
