Tristan's Kitty Care

I'm Tristan

Cat Sitting in Shawnee, KS

Hello! My name is Tristan and I am a proud cat mom as well as a registered nurse/clinical instructor.

For as long as I can remember, I have always had a very special and close place in my heart for cats. Since I was very young I have usually always had a cat as part of my family (my tabby boy, Marino when I was in elementary school; my mom’s cats: Prince Charming, Bristol, Sharp Claws, Old Spice, and Eli; and finally, my dilute tortie at my dad’s house named Kat.) I love cats for many reasons, but especially for their ability to live in the moment and enjoy the little things ☀️. Cats have always brought me endless peace and joy due to their empathetic nature and unique little (or big!) personalities. I honestly cannot ever imagine myself not being a cat parent.

I currently have two wonderful babies- Bristol, who is my 15 year old tortie girl, and Juniper (Junie) who is a 2 year old lynx point Siamese. I actually refer to them as my “children” as I don’t currently have any human kids, and I definitely...
Hello! My name is Tristan and I am a proud cat mom as well as a registered nurse/clinical instructor.

For as long as I can remember, I have always had a very special and close place in my heart for cats. Since I was very young I have usually always had a cat as part of my family (my tabby boy, Marino when I was in elementary school; my mom’s cats: Prince Charming, Bristol, Sharp Claws, Old Spice, and Eli; and finally, my dilute tortie at my dad’s house named Kat.) I love cats for many reasons, but especially for their ability to live in the moment and enjoy the little things ☀️. Cats have always brought me endless peace and joy due to their empathetic nature and unique little (or big!) personalities. I honestly cannot ever imagine myself not being a cat parent.

I currently have two wonderful babies- Bristol, who is my 15 year old tortie girl, and Juniper (Junie) who is a 2 year old lynx point Siamese. I actually refer to them as my “children” as I don’t currently have any human kids, and I definitely love to spoil them! I know what it feels like to want your kitties to be happy and receive the very best care when you have to leave to go somewhere. I know this, as I am always worrying about my cats when I leave out of town and can’t wait to be back home to see them. Cats aren’t just our pets- they are a part of our families, and family deserves the best care and attention.

I would love to provide you with comfort and ease in knowing that I love to be around any and all cats and would love to take care of your babies just as I would with mine. Cats are a huge part of my life and my cats in particular have changed my life for the better in ways that I never even thought possible.

In the past, I have even had the opportunity to help my aunt and uncle out with their cat, Peeve, who had diabetes. When they would leave to go out of town, I would take care of Peeve and give him his much needed insulin shots. It gave me so much purpose and meaning to be able to help Peeve and to let my aunt and uncle know that he was well taken care of. I also have experience with giving various medications such as topical creams and ointments, pills, and ear drops/eye drops.

I know this is a bit lengthy, but I want to say thank you for reading my bio and considering me to take care of your precious kitties!

Thank you so much for reading and I hope to hear from you soon to meet you and your babies. 🐈🐈‍⬛💞 Please give me a shout and I would love to look after your kitties!

Learn More About Tristan

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have a 15 year old tortie girl named Bristol and a 2 year old Lynx point Siamese girl named Juniper. They are truly my babies ♥️

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

I always want to make it a point to ensure that the kitty is comfortable with me, as I am the one who is invading their space and their home. If a cat hides, I never force them to come out. Instead, I will simply sit nearby and just talk to them and let them know I am here to care for them using a calm and gentle tone.

Tristan was wonderful! She responded promptly to my request and stopped by our house to introduce herself and meet my two kitties. Each day she came to visit, she sent me pictures and videos. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing that my fuzzy babies were well taken care of! I will book Tristan again and highly recommend her!

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.

Shawnee cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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!
