Meet Roxy and Inca 🦁

The lovely Roxy was a bit apprehensive at first and remained hidden under the bed, but her affection soon showed itself when she realised I came with grub. On the other hand, the majestic Inca had no problem with showing me who the man of the house is.

Swipe right to the end for a picture of Roxy visiting us at the vets 5 years ago when she was a baby 💗

Meet Polly, little miss sassy but sweet…

Having a stranger come into your home isn’t always easy for some cats and I’m pretty sure Polly would be telling me “I’m perfectly fine by myself thanks, please feed me and leave” like a true independent queen of the house. However, Polly is diabetic so she has to rely on someone to some degree, not just to serve up breakfast/dinner and top up her little glass with filtered water, but to inject her with insulin twice a day.

She didn’t always enjoy being disturbed from her beauty sleep in the mornings and preferred being appreciated in smaller doses, so even though I wanted to give her a squeeze, I had to learn to rein in the love a little and not pester her too much.

All that was needed was a steady supply of dreamies and she was a happy kitty! 😻

The sweetest pair, Preston & Rudolph!

Preston is a looney and spent a lot of the time in the house chasing toy mice and balls, eating all the food I left out for his brother and keeping me company/helping me to not completely lose my mind over not knowing where Rudolph was over the last week of living in with them.

I barely saw the elusive Rudolph for the first 4 days, then didn’t see him at all for 3 days running, but then last night (my last evening) I saw him in the garden and he allowed me to bring him food without scarpering/eventually came back into the house with me.

Although it took the whole week of me being there to finally earn Rudolph’s trust, it was definitely worth it and my heart is so full 💗

Preston just wanted to remind you that it’s June 10th, which means from today all cats over 20 weeks legally MUST be microchipped!!!

Hopefully this will massively help reunite cats with their owners, preventing the overwhelming amount of strays/easing pressure on rehoming centres and rescues🤞🏼

This is a Rudolph appreciation post 💗

Whilst it’s always great when cats are affectionate regardless of who you are, not all of them have big, confident personalities and sometimes it can be easy to take it personally when they are overly timid, but they all have their own life stories and reasons for being the way they are.

I’m told Rudolph’s past is a bit of a mystery but that there is suspicion of abuse and that even though he is spending most of his time avoiding me, he can’t cope without someone being in the vicinity. However, I have still spent the first couple of days feeling awful being in his space and have been doing my best when I do see him to ignore the urge of wanting to smother him with love, and just give him the time and space he needs in the hopes he’ll eventually feel safe with me.

Yesterday he was missing for 15 hours. This morning I woke up to see him by the bedroom door, but as soon as he noticed I was no longer asleep he ran off. So even though he seems most comfortable being in the house/close by when I’m asleep, it’s clear that in his own little way he is trying his best to be brave.

Cats really teach you the art of patience, the importance of trust and the meaning of consent and although I’m yet to be able to get that close to Rudolph, I really appreciate the little moments of his trust, whether that be when he sniffs my hand, takes treats from me, or even feels happy enough to sit on the stairs 8 steps away from me.

A lot of people struggle to like/understand/really bond with cats, but before being quick to paint the timid/fearful ones as ‘unfriendly’ or ‘not liking you’ try to give them the grace they deserve and not take it personally as you don’t always know what kind of trauma they’ve come from, and in a cats world trust really is earned.

Just a little heads up on my availability for August as summer approaches.

I also wanted to take this opportunity to say a massive thank-you to all of my clients, old and new. Starting this out has been daunting, but also fun and rewarding and I couldn’t be more thankful for all of the support.

Although I am limited with what I can take on due to my nursing responsibilities, please do spread the word. If I can help, I will. There’s nothing I enjoy more!

Meet Smokey & Bandit!

This lovely duo are big adventurers, but I’m not left waiting long before they come running through the cat flap for grub. Safe to say the way to a cats heart will always be through their stomachs!

Meet Pierre & Henri, my favourite lunatics!

I miss living in with these two. From the 6am starts eating my hair to get me up for breakfast, to the constant play fighting and catching P in the shower with his claws stuck in the loofah.

Time spent with these two is free entertainment and their cheekiness always keeps me on my toes 🙈💗

In the true spirit of Easter, meet Jesus!

Some may say seeing is believing but this sweet boy is fully deaf which means extra strong vocals, so you definitely don’t need to see him to know he’s about.

Happy Easter everyone 🐰🐣🪺

Meet Frosty & Tawny!

If we aren’t chasing through tunnels and running around like lunatics, we’re busy indulging in dreamies and lick-e-lix. I absolutely adore this lovely pair and there isn’t a visit where time doesn’t fly by 🫶🏼

Welcome to my new venture!

My name is Zoe, and I’m a full time Registered Veterinary Nurse. I fully qualified in May 2023 and eventually would like to specialise in feline nursing. My life has always revolved around animals from a young age, but it is very obvious my heart is primarily cat shaped. I am and always will be, that cat lady Zo!

Although cats are more independent than dogs, they are most definitely creatures of habit/not great with change and I know first hand the worries of going on holiday and leaving them behind. Therefore, I couldn’t think of anything better than to offer a service where you are able to fully relax with the complete reassurance that your fur babies are getting the love and care they need in the comfort of their own home!

What I offer:

- Drop ins
Up to 1 hour a visit, making sure they have plenty of playtime after bellies are full and litter trays are changed. Or if they just need some company and a fuss rather than active play, I most definitely provide cheek rubs, cuddles and all the extra love!

- Overnight stays
Maybe you have a more senior cat, or an extra needy cat who thrives off of human company. I am happy to stay at your house to look after them/give you that extra reassurance whilst you are away.

- Administration of medication
Whether this is giving tablets or administering injections such as insulin, I am fully qualified/happy doing this at an extra cost.

✅ I am fully insured & DBS checked
📸 I offer daily updates with photo & videos
📍 Ruislip, Northwood & surrounding areas

If you would like to make a booking enquiry please reach out via DM or email. I am so excited to get this started and look forward to meeting you and your beautiful fur babies! 🐾🐈💗

What we get up to on visits… 🐈💗

Meet my boy Rewe, named after the German supermarket bag he was brought into the vets in back in 2021. He was so nervous he stayed in a cat carrier for the first week and did nothing but hiss at everyone, but after a lot of time and patience he really came out of his shell. Fearing all progress would be undone, I didn’t want the RSPCA to take him, so I decided to bring him home with me… and the rest is history 🐈‍⬛💗
