I grew up with many pets, such as guinea pigs, hamsters and budgies, but we always had at least one cat. I love all animals, but cats do have a special place in my heart. I enjoy finding out what makes them tick, giving them the special attention they need and creating a peaceful atmosphere around them. I admire their elegance and acute intelligence. Above all, I have great respect for cats – I understand why the Egyptians worshipped them! My background is that I have an English degree, and have experienced a wide range of professions, including: support worker to a boy with special needs, reader for short story competitions and gardener. Now I mostly divide my time between taking care of cats and working from home as a practitioner of the Metamorphic Technique. This complementary practice is a wonderful healing resource, suitable for animals as well as humans, and I use it if any cat in my care needs this kind of support. It has proved very successful in helping nervous or ill-treated cats learn how to relax. |

I have been an owner and lover of cats from a very young age. When growing up, we always had cats, at one point we had seven! Taking care of cats has always been part of my daily routine; from feeding to cleaning, brushing, playing and of course lots of cuddles! I have always found cats a very calming and joyous presence to be around. I feel that they really do become a part of the family and have always cherished my cats. All of our cats have lived between 18-21 years and I feel this is down to my family’s quality of care and love. As well as taking care of my own cats, I have also been responsible for many of my friends and family’s cats when they have been on holiday and have always really enjoyed doing this. |

Since the age of 6 I have owned a variety of pet's including - fish, guinea
pigs, rabbit, canary birds, cat and dog and have also always been happy
to help friends and family with looking after their pets over weekends
and holidays, giving me a great appreciation of the responsibility involved
with looking after other peoples pets. After
many years of toying with my dream of working with animals I finally resigned
from my city job in 2002. Although having had many years experience
of caring for my own and friends pets I still felt the need to gain experience
in the pet care industry and therefore trained in a grooming shop for
7 months before going ahead and setting up on my own. A lot of hard work
and long hours but it is all well worth it and I am very lucky to have
an awesome support network of family, friends and colleagues all over
the pet industry. |

For as long as I can remember, I have always loved being around animals! As a child we kept many rabbits and guinea pigs, and I have very fond memories of the time we looked after 3 kittens and their mother who turned up in our garden for a week! Now I am a student at the University of London, where I study Law, but as I live in rented houses, I am unable to keep a pet and I miss animals terribly! Any of my friends or family will tell you that I will pet and play with any dog, cat or any other animal that passes me on the street everywhere I go - I absolutely love being around animals and I find real joy in caring for them and playing with them. Although our family didn't have a cat when I was growing up, I made sure that no opportunity was missed to walk someone else's, and nowadays I will make friends with every cat I meet, no matter where I am. I was at a special dinner when I met this little fellow and within minutes he had gone to sleep in my lap!! |

I have been in London since 2005 after spending most of my life in Panama.I grew up having cats at home. Currently, we have 3 Persian cats back home who I miss loads. In London due to limited house space, unfortunately I do not have cats, instead I look after my friend’s cats when they go on holidays or pet the cats in the streets. About myself, I can say that I’m very honest, responsible, reliable and absolutely adore cats. |

I came to the UK in 1999 to study and never left! I am currently training as a midwife after working for many years in television. I have always been very passionate about pets, especially cats. I found them fascinating and I love being around them. While growing up we had many cats, fishes and a dog. I have had a cat for over 2 years since being in London, he now lives with my ex-boyfriend but I get to visit him as often as I want. I also look after friends’ cats when they go on holiday. I am a very caring and trustworthy person and I would look after your cat as it were my own.

Animals have always been important to me: my first word was zoo! I’ve always spent lots of time watching wildlife, have learnt to ride, nursed sick and orphaned wild birds and of course socialized with as many dogs and cats as possible. As a kid we lived by a small lake and had lots of pets, including guinea pigs, gerbils and ducks, which I used to round up and bring in for the night using a canoe. When I moved to London I adopted two gorgeous part Havana, part Persian kittens. I had many happy years of stuff getting knocked over and ripped up, play chases across the bed at 3 am… all the usual oriental stuff! Sadly Bea was pts due to kidney and thyroid disease last year at the age of 17. I still miss her so much. Lizzie was pts at the age of 19 and was partially sighted in the end she also had heart, kidney and thyroid problems. With all that I have a lot of practice giving medication! I believe you have to be positive and flexible about it, try and make it enjoyable for them, and learn what works best for each individual. I’ve worked as a volunteer in a children’s hospital play centre and as a domestic in old peoples homes. I also work from home writing for a website and keep fit training for and running marathons for charity. I love to spend some time caring for yours, whether they are young tearaways or lovely oldies. |

I work as a freelance writer and administrator with flexible hours so looking after cats in my area while their families are away easily fits around my other work. My family always had cats and I’ve loved them as long as I can remember. When I moved to London to study I missed the moggies, so began volunteering at Cats Protection in Archway and became a foster carer. |

I have always had a cat or a dog for as long as I can remember. I have so many stories about how every single pet came into my life, sometimes I adopted them sometimes they adopted me! I have a degree in Social Media and Journalism and I have also trained as a Language Teacher. I work at London Metropolitan University as a Spanish lecturer and Languages Consultant. I love my job but what I’m really passionate about the most, is animals. |

Cats, for me are very adventurous yet graceful creature. My family had more than six cats when I was a younger. This gave me the chance to play, feed, clean them and take care of them when they were sick and observe their behaviour. Those days were awesome but when I started to move from one city to another for work I couldn’t keep them anymore.

In 1996 I moved to London from a small village in nottinhamshire. Looking back I feel blessed that I was able to live so closely with nature. Since I can remember we had cats in our family; whenever I return home I often sit for hours with our cat Roo who enjoys a good pampering while her brother Tigger is usually out a hunting and a fishing and a shooting! My grandmother used to tell us kids the 'Just so' stories by Rutyard Kipling and our favorite was and still is 'the cat that walked by himself' so apt! I often look after my friends cats when I can and if I had the space I would offer a home to a rescue myself. I work in fitness teaching the young and old to keep fit and healthy and while I find this work rewarding I have been feeling a yearning to get back to my roots, I therefore joined Cat Care London I feel this offers me a perfect opportunity to bring my beloved cats back into my life...how I miss them! |

After many years of dreaming of living in London my partner and I packed our things and moved here February 2009 and we absolutely love London. For 5 years and until we moved I worked in Milan in an Eating disorder rehab as a Dietitian. I contacted Cat Care London because I have always loved animals! I enjoy horseback riding but enjoyed caring for horses as least as much as the riding itself. I have also had a hamster and guinea pigs and looked after friends cats. I’m delighted that now am I able to make it possible for someone to have a pet even if they work or travel a lot knowing that there is someone lovingly caring for it. My other hobbies and interests are cooking (I even have a cook book for dogs!), dancing and traveling. |

I came to London as a student many years ago and loved it so much, I stayed! Since then I’ve always lived in North London and have been living in Stoke Newington since 1993. So when my husband and I bought our first home together, I felt it wouldn’t be a real home without a cat and we adopted Cleo from the Cat Protection League (that’s her in the photo – she’s a bit camera-shy!). She now very kindly lets us share our home with her! Working from home as a part-time, freelance desktop publisher means I have lots of free time and I look forward to making and caring for lots more furry friends. |

I have lived in North London most of my life, except when I moved to Cheltenham for a while when I was younger, and had a great job there as a live-in Carer for two beautiful dogs, one a Samoyed and the other an Alsatian .When their mum and dad moved abroad, I came back to London because I missed my Family and the City. Back in London I became Homecare for the Elderly, and still do some Homecare work. At the moment my immediate Family consist of my husband Chris a B.T engineer and my Cat Smudge who I’ve had since she was a kitten, she is now twenty years old and a real character, I swear she’s got half a dozen human expressions. She still plays with balls and I often hear them in the early hours being kicked about. I have always had animals in my life since childhood, Dogs, Cats, Hamsters, Rabbits, Birds, Mice and even a Rat. |
