STEVE, here . . . to care for your kitty (or kitties) while you're away from home taking care of business! I can keep vigil for as long as you need - a few hours to an entire afternoon or evening; even overnight! I will treat your feline companion(s) just as I do mine - with gentleness, empathy, and affection. I will give them the attention they require, such as food and hydration and administer any medicine they may be taking. Equally as important, I'm willing to cuddle, snuggle, and play with them if they'll allow. But I'll also respect their boundaries if they feel unsure or disinterested. Nevertheless, my devotion is to your little friend, exclusively! I adore Cats. They rank highest among my favorite animals. My experience with them spans nearly a lifetime. I've kept cats as pets in my household since childhood, and I've grown to learn their ways. I'm very attuned to their vocalizations and body language, and can interpret their cues satisfactorily. My schedule is flexible and I'm available for a visit most days. As a mature, trustworthy, and conscientious person, I will respect your home environment in your absence - treating it as if it were my own - and ensure your cat(s) receive the best care I can offer. Thanks for reading! I hope to meet you in person, soon!
