"Promise to care for your cat as if it was my own"

At The Cat Company we love to talk to you about you cat so feel free to call for a booking on 07397187977, or you can either leave a request on the contact form and we will get back o you as soon as possible or book on the online booking form.

We will discuss you cat routine and work around that, some cats will be happy with one visit. Personally I prefer two visits so I can keep a close eye on your cats health whilst you are away, but it is really your choice. Most healthy cats will be ok with one visit a day, and special needs cats may need more visits.

We would be able to administer medicines, I usually get the owner to show me your routine and how you administer the medication. You will need to sign a consent form for medicine so we are covered by our insurance. There maybe some cases we cannot administer for example if your cat become highly aggressive, then I would advise your cat to stay at a cattery where a vet can administer the medicine safely.

You will need to hand over a key to your home, these keys will be stored safely and will not be labeled. The key will be locked away for safe keeping, we can keep hold of your keys for future services or incase of emergencies.

Request for payment will be sent to you 7 days before, payment will need to be paid before the cat sitting service begins.

Any booking can be cancelled up to 24 hours before the booking is due to start, however if you have already had your meet and greet for the booking a £10 charge will be made for the time used ( this is normally free when the booking and service is carried out) and your keys will be returned.

Your cats health and well being is always the most important thing when we are looking after your cat, if we suspect there is a problem with your cats health we will ask a vet to advise. We may take your cat to be checked out by a vet ( this cost will be charged to you and this will be explained during the first meeting) your cats health will come before anything else.

Any problems or illnesses will be immediatley reported to you, either by phone call or text message depending on the severity of the illness or injury.

You can book as far in advance as you wish, taking in mind some times in the year maybe very busy. I will always try my best to book you in, even at very short notice.

I have had cats all my life, I have many qualifications on animal and feline care, including feline first aid, cat grooming and cat behaviour. Having studied in South Carolina in USA, at the National Cat Groomers Institute of America, where I studied cat grooming and Feline behaviour. I have also spent time volunteering at Rehoming Animal Telephone Service and Woodgreen Animal Shelter.

Your cat will be visited by the same person who conducts your first meeting, the same person will visit for teh whole duration you are away. The cast welfare is our main purpose.

Cats do get lonely when they are left alone for long periods, they are social animals and enjoy the company of others. Some cats are very happy to be left alone, whilst others suffer from depression and on the odd cases can suffer with separation anxiety. Short times away from you cat is find but no longer than 12 hours.
