Ameena joins Love Cats Croydon (May 2025)

We are really spoling you now with yet another sitter increasing availability this summer!

Please join me in welcoming the original Croydon gal to our Croydon Cat Crew. Ameena is not only from Croydon, but has been championing our little town for a while now!

Hi everyone 👋🏼 I'm Ameena, a photographer and writer based in Beddington with a love for walking and adventuring.

I'm a lifetime Croydon local and have been working on lots of brilliant projects  in the borough recently including exhibiting my council-commissioned project 'Rural Croydon' (a photographic series about the conservation grazing that goes on in Croydon) at Thornton Heath library, working on a wonderful social media and photography campaign for the South Norwood Regeneration team, and photographing for our former poet laureate Shaniqua Benjamin's final project Out of Silence.

The best bit has been getting my photobook 'Crocus Valley' published – it's a love letter to our beautiful Croydon and a romantic perspective of our much-maligned borough (find out more through my instagram @ameenarojee). 

 I've had cats (or rather, cats have owned me) for all of my teens and adult life, and I wouldn't have it any other way! I've cared for my own senior boys as well as babysitting new kittens for friends too – I'm  so excited to meet lots of new feline pals! (P.S, cat photography is definitely on the menu ✨🐈‍⬛✨)
