Amy the Cat Lady in Manhattan Beach

Hi fellow cat lovers! Before I rattle on about myself, let’s talk cats! Specifically, *your* cats and what you can expect with me as your kitty sitter.

During my visits, I will thoroughly clean all litter boxes and surrounding areas, wash and refresh all water bowls, give feedings per your instructions (no directions are too detailed!), and give all the pets, snuggles, and play time. I like to make sure your kitty’s experience is as close to normal while you’re away to minimize any stress or fear.

I’ll give you a full breakdown of my findings before I leave, including litter habits, food consumption, kitty’s mood, and how the visit went overall. I also love to take lots of photos and videos during my stay so expect to receive several each visit. This helps ensure you get the full scope of my care and videos really help show the true demeanor of your cat (coming from a cat mama of a boy who has SERIOUS RBF). I am also sure to note if anything seems off and will clarify anything out of the norm with you.

By trade, I’m a self-employed graphic designer and work from my home in Manhattan Beach. This gives me lots of flexibility to come and take care of your kitties. I’m available for both morning and evening visits or any other times throughout the day. If you book a visit for “anytime,” I will arrange that visit as it best fits in my schedule unless you specify a preferred time frame.

Now, a little bit about me. I’ve been a cat lady my entire life. My family always had cats while I was growing up and I adopted my first pair of kittens the second I got my own apartment in 2006. My kittos, Jasper and Bella are the loves of my life. We’ve been through everything together over the years. At 9 years old, Jasper was diagnosed with HCM, CKD, IBD, and chronic pancreatitis. It’s been a journey but he’s on a great regimen now and is thankfully stable. In 2019, I was blindsided by Bella’s cancer diagnosis. We gave it absolutely everything we could, but devastatingly, she crossed the rainbow bridge in October 2019. She is my angel girl and I know she’s always watching over me.

My love for kitties is what brings me to Meowtel. I am very patient, soft-natured, and can read cat cues to understand their moods and respond appropriately. Having a scaredy cat myself, I know the importance of respecting kitty’s space. Also going through medical issues with my own kitties, I am experienced in giving oral pills, injections, and transdermal medications.

I primarily serve South Bay and the neighboring areas. Feel free to send me a message to chat more in-depth about my services or to discuss your needs. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting all the kitties!
