About Kristen

NOTE: I AM ONLY ACCEPTING BOOKINGS UNTIL APRIL 30 2026. I will be moving out of Calgary in May. It's been my pleasure to take care of the kitties of YYC and I will miss them all!

I am a long time cat mom, experienced in all ages of cats, from kittens to the elderly. (I love doggos too, but I'm allergic, so I only accept bookings for cattos).

I have been cat sitting for over 2 years and have watched friends' kitties in the past as well, including caring for a 4-week old kitten found on the side of the highway during COVID (Grey and white kitty in the pics). This was not my first rescue kitten, I raised my parents last cat from only a week old. My recent cat experience has been with my own senior girls, standard aging issues and some uncommon health problems as well.

Newt (grey tuxie), aged 17, just passed in September 2024 and Ripley (white with orange spots), 15, in June 2023. My cats were my children who I miss dearly. Rest assured, I will treat your fur children as if they were my own.

Ripley had diabetes, so I am a pro at injecting insulin. I am also very comfortable with giving oral medications, it comes with the territory of having senior cats. I know how to spot allergies, urinary and anal gland conditions. Newt could be quite the spicy potato, so I'm also well-versed in burrito-ing.

Starting in 2021 my girls were on separate, conflicting diets (diabetic and kidney disease) and staunchly refused to be separated by a door during meal time, forcing me to adopt otherworldly cat herding skills! There is no cat that can outlast my patience.

Generally speaking, I'm a low key but highly conscientious person. I'm happy to take my cues from your cat(s): the goal is for you to come home to relaxed, happy felines!

All visits are a minimum of 30 minutes and include litter cleaning, feeding, play time, snuggles and anything else your little family members need to thrive!

I am in Sunnyside and provide services for new clients within an approximately 7km radius (existing clients exempt). I'm pretty flexible about location, so please inquire even if you are unsure about the distance, we may be able to work it out!
