Raji, Sona & Asha

I cannot recommend Leslie highly enough. She has been caring for my cats for a number of years. It began when she was my student at Cal State Long Beach. She offered to cat sit for me after hearing about my Abyssinian kitten, Raji, the apple of my eye. I’m an avid traveler, but I refuse to go anywhere if I don’t have someone I can count on to care for my kitties. I never looked back after the first weekend she stayed with Raji. I had found the perfect cat sitter! Raji was always happy as could be, and bonus, shiny and handsome from daily brushing, when I came home from a trip, no matter how long I’d been gone. My place was always left neat as a pin, too. 

Fast forward to a few years ago when I inherited my dear Mom’s two cats. I went from having one cat to three, and faced the enormous challenge of helping them become a blended family. I don’t know what I would have done without Leslie to help ease the transition. She stayed with Sona and Asha for several months before I was able to move to the house, and formed a permanent bond with both cats. She showered them with love and attention, and helped them recover from the trauma of losing their mom. Sona was rescued as a tiny kitten and has always been very skittish and mistrustful of anyone but his mom. Leslie quickly earned his trust and helped him become the lovable guy he is today. 

So Cal’s loss is definitely Nor Cal’s gain. In short, you couldn’t ask for a more loving, attentive, and responsible pet sitter.

(Left) Raji is always so handsome. An an eclair connoisseur, he's happiest playing with one of his mouse toys on a string. (Photo by Neena) Sona (center) is a chatterbox who loves afternoon naps on his kitty pouf bed. He doesn't appreciate the occasional backyard visits from the huge raccoons in the neighborhood. Asha (right) is known for being "bold as brass" and "the essense of cat".
