Coco left her birthplace of "Mordor" (AKA Texas) and moved to Seattle in the early 2000's. A nerd at heart, she loves all things sci-fi including Star Trek (Original Series & TNG), Star Wars, Firefly, and X-Files. A lifelong animal lover, she became obsessed with cats after adopting her first cat, "Kitty", from a San Diego animal shelter. Coco's hobbies include playing clarinet and percussion, tennis, golfing, reading comics, dragon boating, and cooking.
Heidi is from Seattle and has been a lifelong cat enthusiast. She has lived with and cared for cats ever since her early childhood. Her hobbies include watching films, horticulture, going to live music shows, reading, and visiting modern art museums/galleries. She excels at Jeopardy, cooking anything with veggies, winning trivia matches, and naming obscure actors/actresses.
Eric is from Seattle and has lived with and been servant to cats his entire life. He can trace his lineage back to the Viking Katmænd (cat men) of ninth century Scandinavia. The Katmænd disliked battle and instead preferred to befriend and train the wild cats who would forage for scraps at the edge of the village. These cats would become known for their superior hunting skills and kept the villages free of rodents. Eric's current cat companion is a friendly tabby by the name of "Dean." Eric's hobbies and interests include: movies, going outside, running, cooking, video editing, making weird videos, listening to weird music.
Stephanie has spent most of her life in the Seattle area and has been owned by cats since day one. She spent 16+ years working in the veterinary field including: 8 years at a feline only practice, 1+ year at a cat shelter & sanctuary and 4+ years in specialty medicine (ophthalmology, radiology, neurology and surgery). After 16 years of dealing with sick animals and sad cases, Stephanie was ecstatic to transition to a lighter hearted side of the pet care industry. Stephanie is happily owned by two handsome male purr monsters who are always trying to convince her that she doesn't need to do anything besides love on them and have kitty photo shoots. When time permits, Stephanie enjoys spending time with fellow animal lovers, photography, nature, hiking, good coffee and amazing food.
Ash has resided in Seattle for several years and has lived with cats on and off throughout their life. Ash has felt a special connection with cats since their early childhood. When they were born their parents had a two month old grey tabby kitten named Whiskers who Ash bonded closely with and grew up side-by-side together with for nineteen years. Ash has an intuitive sense of what cats want and need and appreciates the boundaries that kitties may have set. When Ash isn’t caring for cats, they are tending to plants, spending time outside, listening to music or mixing tracks.
May is from all over but has lived in Seattle for several years now. She appreciates the unconventional, the whimsical, and the absurd. Thus it only makes sense that cats have owned her heart for as long as she can recall. Seeing their purry little faces never fails to make her day lighter. When not delighting in these tiny tyrants, May relishes her job as a buyer for a local toy store. She also much enjoys ranting at characters during horror movies, encouraging her houseplants to grow, and escaping into the mountains for adventures.
Ollie loves creatures large and small. They have served as full-time personal attendant to four magnificent cats, and enjoy meeting many more as a sitter! When not doting on cats, they dabble in wildlife photography, tidepooling, birding, painting, and trying to find space for one more houseplant (a.k.a. “windowsill Tetris”). Ollie and their husband live with one small bossy dog in Shoreline.
Eva moved to Seattle in the early 90's and has loved it here ever since. Originally from Texas, she is much more at home with the gray skies and rain and being close to the water. She has always had cats in her life and currently lives with Mochi and Cricket. Mochi tends to be her cuddle buddy whereas Cricket prefers to snuggle with Eva's son. She works in healthcare part time and loves the idea of being a cat caregiver also. She enjoys reading, exploring our city parks, and getting messy with clay.
Meera left her home in Singapore to go to college in the U.S. and journeyed across the country from Boston to Chicago to Berkeley before landing finally in Seattle with joy. She was lucky enough to spend nearly 15 years caring for the world’s best cat, a pastel calico who had a lot to say and smelled like Digestive biscuits. Meera teaches ecology, works with young people interested in conservation careers, and serves as a trustee for a nonprofit foundation that funds conservation and youth education projects in the Northwest. She loves the opportunity to meet new purry friends on the side.
Steve grew up in Seattle before attending college in Bellingham, Washington. After college he spent a number of years working in a Dean's office at MIT in Cambridge. Steve has a love for aviation and aviation history and in the past he has traveled across the country several times participating in airshows featuring vintage planes. Among his other passions, Steve finds great joy in vacuuming and cleaning. Steve has always enjoyed the company of cats throughout his lifetime and is currently the loyal servant of a sweet elder kitty.
Annie has lived in Seattle since 2016 and loves it. They have had at least one live-in cat friend since they were six, but currently have three; two old men (Thelonious and Monk) and one feisty alpha lady (Michi). Annie is usually the one at the party making friends with the pets, so cat sitting was a natural choice for them. They are also an adult autism and ADHD coach, but when not doing those things, they focus on art, going to the beach, reading and enjoying the company of human friends.
