From pupils to paws: Leeds woman’s purr-fect career change

Bridgitte Causer, 55, who previously worked in school business management and safeguarding, has this week (Monday 9th March) 9 launched The Cat Butler Southwest Leeds, a premium cat sitting service that provides daily visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship keeping kitties of all ages and breeds happy and contented in their own homes while their human paw-rents are away.

Commenting on her new adventure, Bridgitte said: "I’m super excited to be bringing The Cat Butler to Leeds.

"After 16 years working with and supporting primary schoolchildren—a role I’ve loved—I now look forward to using my skills to care for cats."

She continued: "Turning my passion for cats into my profession feels just right. I can't wait to spend every day with them!"

Bridgitte added: "I have one cat at home, Roxy, who was rescued seven years ago from a local charity, Huddersfield Ferals and Strays. She’s the princess of our house. Although still quite timid, she loves to sleep on my bed each night, curled up on a blanket."

Looking ahead, Bridgitte added: "I want to be the local cat sitting service that owners trust—the go-to cat sitter in the area. By offering stress-free, personalised care, cats can stay in familiar surroundings and owners can relax knowing their pets are safe. I can’t wait to meet lots of wonderful cats. Every cat deserves a Cat Butler!"
