Hello,

I am the proud parent of two amazing cats! I also have two foster babies. I began taking care of cats at the age of 15. I am the friend everyone relies on for feline advice or last-minute cat sits.

In 2023 I lived in the Amazon Rainforest for 3 months volunteering at a domestic animal rescue, caring for about 30 animals around the clock. I spent a lot of time socializing cats, bottle-feeding puppies, administering medication, monitoring wounds/illness, extracting botfly larvae, and much more.

In the past, I worked for a doggie daycare where we would also go to clients' homes to care for their cats and dogs. I've volunteered many hours feeding, socializing, and cleaning up after cats at animal shelters like the ASPCA and the Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC). I had the privilege of working as an Admissions Counselor at the ACC where I performed the intake process for stray, feral, and surrendered cats (as well as many other species). I have personal experience taking care of pregnant Queens, nursing mamas, kittens, and senior cats.

I have experience administering oral medication/pills, topical ointments/ flea prevention, eyedrops/eardrops, and asthma treatments.
