Victor S.

Louise, my tabby cat, is 18 1/2 years old and has problems with her kidneys and pancreas. For some reason, she quit using her litter box and instead goes on a hand towel on top of a plastic sheet near her litter box. She insists that the towel be changed after every use including her bowel movement which invariably takes place during the middle of the night. She will not stop being annoying until this has been done. She has to have GentleLax, a laxative powder that enhances her bowel movements and Prozyme, a combination of enzymes in a powder form to help her digest her food, sprinkled in precision amounts on her renal health prescription diet food. The food must be allocated three times a day to keep her system from becoming dysfunctional. Needless to say, I am very careful in selecting someone to keep her company and see to her needs when I have to go away from home for a few days. On one such occasion, I interviewed and engaged the services of Victor. I could tell that in spite of all of her woes, Louise liked Victor right away. She purred when he first petted her. Upon returning home, I knew that all had gone well. Louise seemed almost indifferent to me at first, a sure sign that she had been happy in my absence. From the amount used, I saw that the medicine had been used properly and from the pile of freshly laundered hand towels on top of the dryer, I knew that her little system had been working as well as can be expected. Now, in my absence, I only consider Victor to stay with Louise. He is a competent and friendly caretaker. I would recommend him to anyone who engages this type of service.
