For many years, Barbara owned A Cat’s World boarding cattery in Tauranga, before shifting to Katikati in 2018 and qualifying as a licensed real estate agent. Barbara's knowledge of cats is extensive, and she is always happy to offer advice or assistance to both clients and customers. For a cat, shifting house can be a very traumatic and stressful experience, and her knowledges could prove invaluable. She is also qualified to offer advice and recommendations on transporting both cats and dogs nationally and internationally. Barbara is a keen walker/hiker, an avid traveller especially to destinations generally considered “off-the-beaten-track”. Barbara is also actively involved with both the Leprosy Mission and Mission Without Boarders, having travelled and spent considerable time in the field countries of both organisations. Barbara specialises in Katikati and the surrounding area, being the First National Property Consultant for residential, lifestyle and commercial real estate.
