why home visits?

It's often said that domestic cats are solitary creatures not overly attached to their humans. In fact, they usually form very close bonds with us.

When you're away, your tiger will be unsettled by your absence and any change in his or her circumstances. For many cats, a boarding experience is deeply stressful. A cat's anxiety is best managed by arranging home visits where routine, comfort and security are maintained in familiar surroundings.

quality over quantity

If you’ve been looking for a cat sitter, you’ll notice that most offer standard visits between 20-25 minutes. And some very bold claims are made about what’s possible to achieve in that time! An already unsettled cat will be further stressed by a stranger charging around your home for 20 minutes before they rush off to the next pet sitting job.

My standard visit is for 35 minutes. This allows me time to complete tasks at a calm and steady pace in your cat’s domain. It also leaves dedicated time for play, enrichment and cuddles, if desired. Or simply, to sit quietly nearby providing gentle reassurance to nervous kitties…

If you have more than one tiger, high maintenance cats or would simply like your kitties to enjoy some company for a longer period, 60 minute visits are also available.
These visits are particularly well suited to indoor cats lacking stimulation or cats dealing with unusual circumstances; senior cats who need a little extra help and reassurance or those with health issues who take longer to cater for (or clean up after).

special visits & additional services

Special visits can also be arranged for cats with acute and chronic health conditions requiring extra visits each day or extra time per visit. I’m also able to administer medications in most cases. A small daily fee applies.

Relaxing, holistic treatments are also available. Reiki, Bach Flower Remedies or perhaps a healing herb garden? Wellbeing consultations can be booked for issues around diet, nutrition and behavioural concerns. Learn more at Angela Kearney Healing.

training, qualifications & daily communication

I’ll aim to replicate your cat's daily schedule as closely as possible. Most importantly, keeping to regular feeding times, I’ll be closely observing how much your cat is eating and drinking. Where there is a litter tray, I monitor output. I am adequately trained to recognise behavioural or any physical irregularities and can confidently advise when veterinary intervention is required.

Giving you even greater peace of mind, I’ll keep an eye on things at home. You’ll return to a tiger-tidy space. I can bring in your post, open/close curtains and blinds, adjust lighting, water your plants (within reason) and take out the trash. No problem.

Unique to Tiger and Wolf, you’ll also receive updates and photos of your precious kitties after every visit. Take a look at some of my adorable kitty clients in the photo gallery.

Tiger and Wolf offers a truly premium service delivered by a qualified animal health professional. You’ll be regularly updated and reassured during your time away. And upon your return, a happy, healthy and purrfectly relaxed pet will be waiting…
