I'm Joy | Cat Sitting in Houston, TX

Many people know me as that one person who befriends almost every kitty they meet. That's because I approach each one with compassion and respect on their own terms. What I love most about cats is that they each have a will of their own (sometimes a very strong one!), which makes earning their trust and affection that much more rewarding. My main service areas are Houston (mostly anywhere within Beltway 8), Bellaire, Sugar Land, Missouri City and Stafford. I currently share my home in the Galleria area with one cat, a nine year-old grey tuxedo rescue named Jasmine. Over the past few years, I have also fostered three kittens short-term and and one long-term. (Jazzy has made it very clear that she prefers to be an only child, though!) Having lived with cats my entire life, I am well-versed in the meanings behind feline body language, behavior and actions. I also have several years of experience volunteering with animal shelters and welfare programs. I served as the main “cat socializer” for the Missouri City Animal Shelter for about three years, visiting every weekday to help the kitties get used to humans. I even created a page to share videos of my visits and boost awareness of the underrepresented feline population. The number of cat adoptions skyrocketed during those three years because I did what I do best: care for and take adorable pictures of kitties! In my free time, I enjoy making jewelry and performing improv comedy at a local Houston theater. I am currently in the process of transitioning careers, so right now my mornings, afternoons and evenings are open to provide quality cat care within the Houston area and its surrounding suburbs. I look forward to befriending your wonderful fur babies! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
