Purrrfect cat care

Hi my name is Joanne and I run a cat sitting service. For most cats, their owner going out is not a problem and they know that the boss will be back soon. However bring out your suitcase, and your cat thinks “Oh no, this doesn’t look good” Cats particularly worry when suitcases appear because they associate them with a longer separation and, worse being taken to catteries. Placing pets in catteries can cause unnecessary stress, suffering and can be expensive.

 

 

Although most domestic cats appear to be very independent, they are territorial animals.  They become very attached to their home environment and are naturally frightened of unfamiliar places and smells.  Also most cats enjoy and benefit from human company (interacting with people on their own terms, of course!).  Cats are intelligent animals and they need both mental and physical stimulation, play is an important aspect of their behaviour.

If they are removed from their territory and their human companions, cats can suffer significant “separation stress”. Signs of this can include loss of appetite, spraying, scratching, hiding and excessive meowing.

 

Cat sitting allows your pet to stay in familiar surroundings. The kindest and best arrangement you can make for your cats while you’re away is to leave them at home in their familiar environment following their normal routines.

Feline Friendz was set up precisely for this purpose. We provide a local and friendly cat sitting service available throughout the year.

My Service

I care for all cats strictly in accordance with clients’ instructions and provide appropriate checklists to ensure that every aspect of care and routine is considered, nothing is left to chance.

 

With regard to cat sitting, I specifically cover:

  • assessing a cat on first meeting

  • following the cat’s normal routines

  • caring for elderly/multiple cats

  • assessing changes in behaviour, and taking appropriate action

I am conscientious and vigilant and will check your cat regularly for any physical or behavioural changes. If I find that a cat seems unwell, I will not hesitate to contact the vet and to ring the owner for advice and support.

 

I have years of experience with cats, am fully insured and CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) checked. After every assignment I obtain detailed feedback from our clients, and specifically ask about the cats and their condition on the client’s return. Often our clients report that not only were their cats in fine fettle, but they suspect that they would have liked to have gone home with me!

I am trained in measuring and administering insulin and also trained in feline first aid and feline psychology and behaviour.

 

I offer far more than just cat sitting. During your time away you can be rest assured that your home is in safe hands too. During my visit I will ensure your home is secure and looks occupied while you are away.
