Recently, we have added microchipping to our services. We are fully trained to microchip cats, dogs and rabbits. Liz has many years of experience working with animals. She has a very special bond with cats, having owned them herself since childhood and having worked with them for several years. She is always looking to further her knowledge about them. She is currently studying for a qualification

Hello everyone. We are offering a microchipping service now. We can microchip both cats and dogs. New legislation came in to effect from 10th June, which means that all cats, as well as dogs, need to be microchipped.

We are a mobile service so we travel to you. We cover Ilkeston and areas within a 5 mile radius. Please tell any elderly friends or relatives who have cats and struggle to get them to the vets, due to transport issues etc. We just ask that any animals we visit are of a good temperament. We charge £20 for one cat, and offer a discounted rate per cat if you have more cats in your household that need microchipping. Please feel free to WhatsApp us on 07789 951563 for more information. Thank you.

While we are all enjoying this lovely weather, please be cautious with your dogs. Today is too hot for normal exercise. I have attached a handy guide on temperature and when to take precautions. Also, please please please don't leave a dog in a car, even with the window open. It so often ends in tragedy.

Today I presented to two groups of Year 3 children at Chaucer Junior School about the business, about caring for animals, the importance of neutering and microchipping, and the role of animal rescue groups. I was so impressed by their enthusiasm for their pets, and their knowledge and involvement in caring for their pets. They all couldn't wait to tell me about them! It was so uplifting! It just shows how much children care about animals.

I just wanted to apologise to anyone who has tried to phone me over the last couple of days. Sometimes I am tricky to get hold of by phone, as I am often driving between visits, or busy on visits or microchipping. If you send me a quick text or WhatsApp, I will respond ASAP. Thank you.

Today we had the very sad news that Harlow, a cat we have looked after many times, sadly passed away following an incident with a car this morning. Our hearts go out to his owner and her family who are understandably heartbroken. We are very sad about this. He was a lovely boy. Such a character. One of the most vocal cats I knew. He loved his visits and seeing the little helper. He will be very missed.
