Cattery & Support Staff
Caitlin
Cattery Manager
Caitlin has been a familiar face at the cattery since 2017. Her time here started as an after school job and has grown from there. You will find her here at Pakuranga, 5 days a week.
She has always been very passionate about animals and the environment and is currently studying at AUT doing a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Sciences.
Caitlin has 3 cats at home, Ned, Fizz and Maeve. Her family are animal lovers so she grew up surrounded by both cats and dogs.
In her free time Caitlin enjoys op shopping, going to flea markets, getting stuck into a good book, attending live shows, cinema trips as well as volunteering at the Auckland museum.
Carissa

Carissa is a long standing staff member in our cattery (She started at Pakuranga in 2001!). When she isn’t pampering your felines whilst you are on holiday, she is running her own cattery in Howick & keeping busy with her lovely husband & their 2 children and her menagerie of furry children.
