I'm Athena

Cat Sitting in Stevens Point, WI

Hi! My name is Athena, I'm from Wausau, but I live in the Stevens Point area right now, and I've grown up around cats all my life. As a result, I'm something of a cat whisperer, and sometimes, even the most anxious of cats can open up to me quite quickly. If they're playful, I can easily keep up with their energy for ages until they tucker themselves out. If they're affectionate cuddlebugs, my body is their cat tree! If they like to talk, I'll keep a... Hi! My name is Athena, I'm from Wausau, but I live in the Stevens Point area right now, and I've grown up around cats all my life. As a result, I'm something of a cat whisperer, and sometimes, even the most anxious of cats can open up to me quite quickly. If they're playful, I can easily keep up with their energy for ages until they tucker themselves out. If they're affectionate cuddlebugs, my body is their cat tree! If they like to talk, I'll keep a conversation going! Every cat is different, and I'm able to adapt to each one uniquely.
Now that I'm a university student, I am unfortunately unable to have cats of my own mostly due to restrictions on them in the more affordable housing around here, but I would absolutely love to have some back in my life, even if they aren't actually mine.
Starting June, I'm free just about anytime to come over! Ideally I like to have a sit down with the owners and the cat together to talk about specifics at first, but after that, I should be all set to spend as much quality time with your cat as needed.
I look forward to meeting you and your cat!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

When I was living at home, I had three cats my parents adopted at almost all times. When I was really young, we had Allie, Mace, and Hank. All of them lived good, long lives. Next we had Pepper, Kindi, and Panda. Pepper also lived a good long life, and now we have Kindi, Panda, and Dahlia. Due to housing restrictions of campus housing and off-campus housing near campus, I unfortunately do not have any of my own living with me currently, but I have a roommate with a very friendly 6-month-old emotional support cat named Dexter who I befriended on Day 1.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Pretty much, I'm not one to celebrate 4th of July, Easter, Thanksgiving, or Valentine's, so I'm open then. Exceptions are usually New Years/New Years Eve, Christmas, my birthday (06/22), May Day, and sometimes Halloween.

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

I give them space. Often times just sitting quietly in the general vicinity is what makes them most comfortable, and it's important to respect that. Cats have boundaries just like people do. If I'm explicitly looking to coax one out or get it to open up to me, though, I try and keep their comfort items (beds, blankets, toys, treats, etc.) in the same room within my field of view. That way, the cat is encouraged to come out into the open relatively near me, but far enough away that they don't feel threatened by me. If I'm doing regular catsitting for someone, over long periods of time, I'll move the comfort items ever so slightly closer to where I tend to sit until they're fully comfortable with my presence, and eventually with interaction with me.

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.

Stevens Point cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!
