Iona Allan 'Violinist, Music Tutor and Cat Sitter'

This week Michelle speaks with Iona Allan, she is an Australian violinist and avid cat lover, who also happens to be one of our cat sitters at Chatty Cats Care. Iona moved to London 3 years ago to start a master's degree in music and has been performing and teaching violin. She grew up with a variety of animals in Australia including a bird, guinea pig, and finally, after many years of begging her mother, on her 14th birthday, she got her dream pet, a cat! Iona's beautiful cat Dusty was a rescue and in such poor condition her fur looked like it was covered in dust, hence the inspiration behind the name! She needed a lot of special attention and many vet trips as a kitten to get her healthy. When Iona has to leave Dusty with her mum to move to London it was one of the hardest things she has ever done. Sadly Dusty passed away just over a year ago when she was visiting back home. Iona's experience and love for cats made her an exceptional candidate for Chatty Cats Care and now she looks after our sweet Chatty Cats.
