About Malik Haddad
I look after cats almost exclusively. The house is calm and there are no other animals in it, which matters enormously to a cat who has just been moved out of everything it knows. I never force interaction. I sit in the room, let the cat come to me in its own time, and report honestly on how much of that is actually happening.
What I offer in Columbus is boarding in my own home. I take cats only, which keeps the house quiet and predictable for them. I keep the calendar here current, and I confirm every booking in writing before the dates are held. Everything your pet arrives with goes home with it: bed, bowls, toys, the half-used bag of food and the leash, all accounted for at handover.
The first evening is deliberately quiet — settle in, short walk, early night. After that we fall into your pet's normal shape of day, which is usually all it takes for them to relax. Expect regular photos and an honest note on how the day went — including the days that were a bit off, because those are the ones you most need to know about.
Before any booking I ask for a meet-and-greet so your pet can size me up on neutral ground and you can ask whatever you need to. I take your vet's details, your emergency contact and any consent I might need to act on, and I keep all of it to hand. Do ask me anything before you book. I would far rather answer ten questions now than have either of us find out we are mismatched later. I have had the same clients for years, and the pets recognize me at the door — that is the measure I actually care about.
