What Was Life Like Before The Cat Butler?

Sam, who has had a rewarding career in PR, working with small businesses and charities, including The Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity, Aylesbury, where she was Communications Manager for seven years, and then running her own PR business since 2016, is now turning her hand to cat sitting – a result of her love of cats, in particular older felines. 

Why The Cat Butler?

Sam adopted a 16-year-old short-haired domestic male cat (Patch) from a Blue Cross rehoming centre in 2021 during the Covid pandemic, bringing him home on her son’s birthday, and explains how it all came about: “I’d been looking to do something different for a while having worked in PR for over 25 years, so started looking closer to home at what I enjoyed and could see myself doing in the future, so Patch (or the ‘old man’ as we call him at home), and my love of cats in general, came out on top! 

Sam said: “As an older cat, Patch doesn’t always play nicely with other cats so I couldn’t imagine him having to go off somewhere outside his home environment should we been going away on holiday. He’s much happier staying at home with all his familiar sights, smells, and sounds - and his creature comforts of course! It’s been an absolute joy caring for him and he has become a big part of our family.”

She added: “This really is the purr-fect option for many cats who are happiest at home, so whether you’re going on a summer holiday, a weekend break, or are working away, I can’t wait to provide my premium cat care service to all you cat-loving parents out there.”

Owner & Founder

The Cat Butler was set up by Sandra James in recognition of the fact that a stay in a cattery can be unsettling for many cats and also their owners.
