I'm Marissa | Cat Sitting in , WA

I was retired as an active fur parent in November 2021, and I've found the next best thing is to be an adopted fur parent 💕 I started kitty sitting because I had a kitty shaped hole in my life and I wasn't ready to start a relationship with a new kitty yet. I love all animals, but I am extremely passionate about kitties and making sure they receive excellent care because I believe they are truly special creatures. I have been sitting through Meowtel for over a year now, since December 2021. With over 150 completed reservations, It has been so rewarding to be able to apply my personal kitty experiences to help others! I have since adopted two kitty brothers born on April 13th, 2022 😻 and have loved kitties through Meowtel from 8 weeks old to 23 years old, and gotten to know so many unique personality types 😸 I love to be greeted by a talkative kitty, but I understand not all kitties have that personality! Paying attention to body language to help minimize stress and maximize comfort levels is very important to me, and I continually research kitty behavior. I have had/cared for multiple elderly cats with medical conditions that require more extensive care including diabetes, cancer, kidney failure, thyroid issues, IBS, seizures, asthma, FIV, herpes, high blood pressure, and severe arthritis. I have experience giving pills orally, subcutaneous fluids, subcutaneous shots, eye drops, ear ointment meds, kitty inhalers, and testing for blood...
