Any good cattery is full now for Christmas. Don't let that stop you going away. I look after pets in their own home, where they feel safest. I am experienced and trained in giving a variety of medications and have years of experience working in kennels and catteries.
I have a variety of toys that I can leave with your cats so they won't even notice you've gone. I pop in and feed, medicate, clean up after and of course play and cuddle them. I can also bring in mail and bins and water plants etc.
