Meet The Team
Ellen Friedberg
Owner / Cat Sitter
After my parents emigrated to South Africa from the UK, I grew up on a small holding. This introduced me to a multitude of different animals from cattle & horses to tortoises, cats & dogs. Being involved actively in the local SPCA from 15 yrs of age fuelled my passion for animals, particularly cats. I’ve gained hands on knowledge of working with feral cats, when I was employed as a Feral Cat Controller. I gained valuable hands on experience whilst working in a veterinary practise for a few years. Since returning to the UK in 2003, I’ve worked in a veterinary practice and qualified as a Veterinary Assistant in 2010.
Honorary Life Member of the SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) in South Africa. I received a Diploma in Feline Behaviour and Psychology in April 2019. I look forward to caring for your Feline families.

Charlotte Friedberg
Ex-Head of Security
This was our Charlotte, a cheeky but affectionate JackChi. Charlotte was our Head of Security, a position she’s held since May 2013. She's was our protector and had her paw firmly on the pulse of what's going on in the neighbourhood. Her favourite past times were running around the local field and sleeping on our bed.
