Our cat hides from strangers. Is that a problem?

It's normal and we don't force it. We do the tasks, sit quietly nearby, and confirm they're eating, drinking, and using the box. Most cats come out by the third visit — some never do, and that's fine too.

Can you give injections or pills?

Yes, including insulin and subcutaneous fluids when you've shown us your method. Tell us what works and what to skip if they refuse.

How long can cats go between visits?

Most healthy adult cats are comfortable with one visit a day. Kittens, seniors, and cats on medication usually need two.

Quiet company, on their terms.

Cat care that respects the cat

Cats do best at home, and they notice when things change. We keep feeding times, litter, water, and play consistent — and we know the difference between a cat who wants attention and one who wants us to sit still and be ignored.

“Our cat hides from everyone. The updates said exactly that for two days, then a photo of her on the counter on day three. That honesty is why I keep booking.”
