My name is Kat (ha), it's nice to meet you and potentially your furry friend. Im a cat owner myself and understand the nuances in cat behavior, as well as having years of experience in the rescue scene, within Cat Cafes, non-profits like Priceless Pets Rescue, and local shelters! From that experience I got the opportunity to work with special needs kitties (blind cats, cats with CH), at risk kittens (underweight kittens, dire rescue situations) as well as senior cats! So I've really seen a wide variety of cat behaviors and types. I'm also very versed in cat body language and cat play, knowing that not all cats have claw awarness :)
I'm able to administer any oral medication, ointment as needed. I'm also versed in specialized diets and the need for a cat to stay hydrated!

Learn More About Katriel

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have one cat, his name is Pauz and he's a lovely rescue! Pauz found us on the street, as he once had owners that unfortunately left him behind when they moved, so I fed him when I saw him and then once he was comfortable I adopted him and got him to the vet. He's now a very spoiled indoor boy that's fed a wide array of wet food on rotation and has his very own space!

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

When I meet a new cat parent for the first time, I establish all of the perimeters of care: what's the feeding schedule, how many litter boxes, is there any medications to be administered, and what does a typical day look like for your cat? After all of that is established and if the cat parent is comfortable with me, I then go on to find out about their preferred vet, carrier situation, and emergency contacts. I also ask for preferred way of care (would you like me to simply feed the cat and clean their litter box or is your cat a snuggler that needs companionship time?) In essence, I try to make the owners absence not noticeable to the cat by maintaining as close of a routine as I can.

Are you usually available during holidays?

My holiday availability is typically open for drop in visits and some overnights! As long as I can step away for a few hours to celebrate the holidays with my family, you can be sure that your furry friend is being lovingly cared for the entire time I'm with them.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

In my previous experiences, cats that are timid or anxious require space, time, patience and positive reinforcements. I keep myself in the room with the cat but at a distance so that they're not threatened by my presence, and I throw out treats towards them so they can start making the correlation that I'm not a threat and there to provide good things. If the treat trick doesn't work, I simply provide them space but remain in the room so that they get accustomed to my scent.

Kat has been a wonderful find! She kind and attentive to our girls. One has dietary issues, but she followed the recipe like a Meowchelin Star Chef! The other is nervous with new people but nuzzled her anyway. 💕

Katriel was so kind, super fast at responding, flexable & able to get my shy cat to come out & show her his belly!! Both of my cats loved her. She sent lots of photos & made sure that they were taken care of! I’m incredibly thankful & will definitely have her come back & watch willow & cosmo again!! :)

Katrina was knowledgeable, patient, gental, and kind. She went above and beyond to meet the needs of my physically challenged and geriatric cats. We couldn't appreciate her more.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

Ontario cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $31.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with your sitter before you leave.

Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet!
