Cats Make The World A Better Place
"I moved to Minneapolis on February 8. Just 3 days later, I realized my male cat, Jimmy, hadn’t peed in a while. I whisked him off to the University of Minnesota emergency vet at 2 am, where he was diagnosed with a urinary blockage and hospitalized for a few days. In the meantime, I tried to settle into a new apartment in a new city with my other cat (Jimmy’s sister) and my dog. Jimmy came home on the evening of February 13 with detailed medication and care instructions. Between his needs and the needs of my other cat and dog, and still having to go into the office the next day, I quickly realized I was overwhelmed. I cried to the UMn emergency vet hotline and they suggested Meowtel; cue me contacting Kayleigh at 11 PM, asking if she could come spend the next day with Jimmy and the other two animals, as early in the morning as possible. What Kayleigh did for me was nearly Herculean. On short notice, she arranged to pick up my apartment keys at my office and then spent a full day with a sick cat, his stressed sister, and a dog she’d never met before. She paid thorough attention to the instructions I sent her over text, and she provided frequent updates and photos; she even managed to take a video of Jimmy peeing (a very important sign of his recovery!). She administered Jimmy’s medications and cuddled with him in his convalescence room, which was really just my uncomfortable bathroom floor that I’d thrown blankets on. She also made sure to spend time playing with my other cat and even my dog - while my regular dog walker came at noon, my dog obviously benefitted from some additional attention from Kayleigh. I don’t assume that anyone will love my cats as much as I do, but I could tell from all my interactions with Kayleigh that she cared about Jimmy as though he were her own. Even after I came home from work and the booking was over, she sent final reports on how the animals did during the day, and when I needed help again with medication the next morning, she was able to quickly respond to my booking request once more. She has kept in touch regarding Jimmy’s health (which again, is essentially the fascinating process of sitting around waiting for him to pee) and given me a lot of useful advice on giving medication and general cat care. She has even shared some pictures of her own sweet cats! Jimmy seems to be firmly on the road to recovery, and he, his sister, and my dog are all finally adapting to life in Minneapolis. I can’t imagine having made it this far without Kayleigh’s help that first critical day after Jimmy came home. If you need excellent care for your cats, you need Kayleigh."
