Having a cat sitter when you go away offers several benefits that ensure your cat's well-being and give you peace of mind: Routine and Stability: Cats thrive on routine. A cat sitter maintains your cat's daily schedule, including feeding, playtime, and litter box cleaning, which helps reduce stress and anxiety in your absence.

Personalized Attention: A sitter provides one-on-one attention, ensuring your cat receives the affection and care they need. This is especially important for social or high-energy cats that need interaction.

Health Monitoring: Cats can be subtle about showing signs of illness. A cat sitter can monitor your cat's health, spot any changes in behavior, and take action if something seems off, such as a lack of appetite or unusual lethargy.

Safety: A cat sitter ensures your home is safe for your cat, checking for potential hazards like open windows, plants that might be nibbled on, or other dangers that could arise.

Emergency Handling: In case of an emergency (medical or otherwise), a cat sitter is there to handle the situation promptly, whether it's rushing your cat to the vet or addressing issues in your home.

Home Security: Having someone visit your home regularly deters potential burglars, as the house appears occupied. The sitter can also handle small tasks like watering plants or collecting mail, further enhancing home security.

Reduced Stress for Your Cat: Cats often dislike changes to their environment. Staying in their familiar surroundings with a sitter reduces the stress that could come from being relocated to a boarding facility.

Peace of Mind for You: Knowing that a responsible person is caring for your cat and home allows you to enjoy your time away without worrying about your pet’s well-being.

We cover the Torquay area, are fully insured, and a registered volunteer with Cats Protection. Drop us an email to [email protected] to check availability and prices.

We offer a free meet and greet to get to know you and your cat before you commit to a booking.

Cat Sitting vs. Cattery: Which is Best for Your Furry Friend?

If you’re planning a trip and wondering how to care for your cat, you might be weighing the options between hiring a cat sitter and booking a cattery. Here’s a quick comparison to help you decide

Cat Sitting:

Comfort of Home: Your cat stays in its familiar environment, which can reduce stress and anxiety.
Personalized Care: A cat sitter provides one-on-one attention, follows your routine, and even takes care of small tasks like bringing in mail or watering plants.
Flexibility: Your sitter can visit once or multiple times a day

Professional Environment: Catteries are designed specifically for cats, offering safe, secure, and sometimes luxurious accommodations.
Social Interaction: If your cat enjoys being around other felines, a cattery could provide some social stimulation.
24/7 Care: Staff are usually on-site to monitor and care for your cat around the clock.

Which should you choose?

Consider your cat's personality. If they’re easily stressed or prefer solitude, a cat sitter might be best. But if they’re social and adaptable, a cattery could be a fun adventure!

*** EDIT- We have had an overwhelming response to our microchipping event which is great! If you have received an email reply from us then we look forward to seeing you next weekend.
For now, WE WILL HAVE NO MORE AVAILABILITY FOR ANY MORE CATS as we want to make sure we can microchip all those who have already said they are attending.
We hope to hold another day soon so look out for more updates on this! ***

⚠️ Attention Cat Owners!
Join us for a FREE Cat Microchipping Event 🐱
🗓 Date: Saturday, May 25th
⏰ Time: 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
📍 Location: Little Valley Animal Shelter, Exeter (RSPCA)

📧 No booking necessary, but kindly RSVP to [email protected] to help us prepare. Let's ensure your feline friend stays safe and sound!

❔ Did you know?
Starting June 10, 2024, it will be mandatory for all pet cats in England to have a microchip. This regulation applies to cats before they reach 20 weeks of age, with exceptions made for unowned cats such as feral and community cats. Even indoor-only cats must comply with the microchipping requirement. Additionally, it's necessary to maintain updated contact information on a Defra-approved microchipping database according to the new rules.

Failure to comply with the June deadline means you'll have a 21-day grace period to get your cat microchipped, failing which could result in a fine of up to £500 as per the new law.
