Our Mission Statement

We believe all cats are royalty and should be treated as such.

We dream of a world where every cat enjoys a loving home and pampered life. Until that day—we strive to deliver the greatest of services to the select members of our fold. 

Every cat has its own personality and quirks. Caring for them goes beyond just cleaning litter boxes or filling food bowls—it’s about building trust and creating a lasting bond.

Together, we’ll figure out what your cat needs, as well as what works best for you. My goal is to provide high-quality, unobtrusive care, so you can focus on your work and lifestyle, knowing your cat is being lovingly looked after in the background.

Cats inspire everything we do here at Miss Kitty Poppins. Follow our official store on Instagram to see our latest kitty-inspired merch! >^.^<

Meet Your Cat Lovers

Leslie 

Founder

Miss Kitty Poppins is a cat-focused concierge service based in Menlo Park, California. After moving to Silicon Valley, Leslie quickly saw the need for dependable, high-quality cat care and founded MKP in December 2017. Her clients come from all walks of life across the San Francisco Bay Area, including high-profile and ultra-high-net-worth individuals with busy lifestyles. Leslie’s approach is proactive, discreet, and compassionate, and she’s built lasting relationships through word-of-mouth referrals, which have been key to her success. 

Originally from Garden Grove, California — Leslie has always been surrounded by animals—from rescued wild birds and skunks to koi fish, bunnies, and dogs—but her love for cats stands above the rest. When she’s not caring for cats, Leslie balances travel and her career as a professional illustrator. She’s also a proud cat mom to two fur babies—Meena, a sweet all-black beauty, and Twinkle, her sassy Tabby queen. Leslie is a member of Professional United Pet Sitters (PUPS), Pet Sitters Associates, and is fully insured and bonded.

Marina

Assistant

Marina is an on-call assistant at Miss Kitty Poppins and a true cat lover! She’s always appreciated how unique cats are and feels they don’t get nearly enough recognition. Her first experience with a cat was when her parents brought home a kitten six months before she was born. Now, she has two sweet boys of her own—George (named after Curious George and just as curious!) and Theodore (aka Teddy, a snack enthusiast)—both are cuddle bugs and the loves of her life.

Marina holds a BS in Animal Science from UC Davis and is a Registered Vet Tech (RVT). Since graduating in 2020, she’s worked with a wide variety of animals. She has volunteered at the San Jose Animal Shelter and worked at several dog and cat clinics in the area. Most recently, she’s been caring for exotics, including birds, reptiles, and pocket pets.

Originally from Redwood City, Marina grew up in Fremont and has been living in Menlo Park since 2019. With plenty of experience caring for the cats of family and friends, she looks forward to caring for your kitties as if they were her own. She’s passionate about advocating for their health and well-being.
