Cat Sitting & Health Considerations

Cats are independent, but they still need daily check-ins! We offer:

15-Minute Visits for shy or hiding cats (quick check-ins, feeding, litter cleaning) 30-Minute Visits for playtime and social cats 45 & 60-Minute Visits for medication needs, multiple cats, or extended care

Why daily visits? Cats can develop sudden health issues, like urinary tract infections, that require close monitoring.

Kitten Care

Kittens need extra love and attention to grow up strong! We provide: Bottle-feeding newborn kittens Keeping them warm & clean Socialization & enrichment for a happy, friendly cat

We also recommend top-loading carriers for easy transport.

Outdoor & Feral Cat Care

Do you have outdoor cats or care for feral cat colonies? We can help! We feed & monitor outdoor pet cats while you’re away. Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) Support: Many feral cats have clipped ears to indicate they’ve been neutered. Need help? Check out Humane Society & Altered Tails for local TNR services.

High-Protein Diets for Cats

Did you know that dry food with too many carbs can cause diabetes in cats? We recommend high-protein, low-carb wet food to keep your feline friends healthy!
