Hi, I’m a creative soul working from my inner west home. It’s so important for our furry friends to feel comfortable at home, in their own surroundings and visiting them gives me a break as well.

I will replenish their feed, refresh their water and litter, and spend some quality time playing with and grooming them. If you need your bins taken out or in, indoor plants watered, or your mail collected, I can do that too.

Each visit will last approximately an hour, to make sure there’s some quality playtime after the chores are completed.

Who can resist a cute cat asking for attention? I love to give them a cuddle (with their permission of course), if they're into it, otherwise most cats like my secret weapon, a nice soft brush gently stroking their face. My super fluffy tortie Sabina in particular comes running to me when she sees the brush in my hand. I'm sure my neighbours think I'm a bit mad as they hear me talking to the cats.

My own two rescues, Minx the brown Bengal, and Sabina the super fluffy Tortie, like playing with shoelaces, screwed up foil balls and sewing patterns the most. Minx came to me as a six month old by train from Frankston, and Sabina was discovered as a four day old newborn in a vegetable patch in Reservoir. I would not be without them.

So your cat can expect a bit of conversation, an offer of excellent and gentle brushing, maybe some good, fun shoelace action if they can be tempted, as well as food, water and litter refreshing.

cheers, Ilona (with permission from Minx and Sabina)
