Jane has always loved animals, particularly cats! Having had cats for as long as she can remember, she has developed a natural understanding of cats and has the ability to communicate and interact with them from the heart. Long before she started Catatude in 2004, Jane always enjoyed taking care of other peoples’ cats in addition to her own. After a long career in the corporate world, she decided to pursue a longtime goal of starting a business doing what she loves and created Catatude.

Jane is a volunteer with the Dutchess County SPCA, and is associated with Friends of Animals, and Operation Blankets of Love. She is an advocate and donor for numerous worthy causes for animals. Jane utilizes a growing network of veterinarians, rescue facilities, pet sitters and animal care professionals in order to continually learn and share information about pet care. As a result, she is better able to refer clients to whatever resources might assist them.

Jane is a member of Pet Sitters International, American Humane, ASPCA, The Humane Society, and the Association for Pet Loss and Bereavement.

Jane is originally from Brooklyn, and recently moved back to New York after living in Los Angeles since 1983. She now resides in the Hudson River Valley. Jane is a Kitty Mom to her own 2 cats, Mousepaw and Carson.
