About Cathy

NB/ Booking quote information in bottom paragraph.

I can't remember a time growing up that I wasn't surrounded by animals. Dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish and chickens . And never singular! It is such a privilege to have pet.

Apart from having my own fur babies, including a gentle and affectionate Whippet named Seamus ( he adores cats ) we also have foster fail cats Possum, Snug Bug, Leo & Chyna, I am proud to be a foster carer with a local animal rescue. It has been four years and more than 40 animals we have found loving homes for. I am also employed by a local veterinary clinic working in boarding predominantly with cats.

We have a large cattery with access directly into our home. Cats are free to come and go. There are many places to climb, laying platforms, tunnels, toys and many enrichment activities.

I can also offer a safe private room with a nice view, light and breezy in case you pet is unsure or stressed.

Our home is very well set up for felines and without doubt is our specialty but we can also offer short stays for elderly dogs and visiting your pet at your home.

I am very patient and recognise fear, apprehension and discomfort in an animal. I have looked after timid, curious and even quirky cats and dogs.

I am comfortable giving medication orally and can attend to nails and wounds if required.

All animals at our home are vaccinated, wormed and been given flea and tick control medication.

We have no children in our home only our visiting grandchildren on occasion.

We offer a loving, fun, interesting but most importantly a safe and relaxed atmosphere for your pet to enjoy in their home away from home.

NB/ The booking system does not accommodate the ability to change costing to reflect bookings for home visits that have more than 1 pet or if they need regular medication. A booking for 1 home visit includes 2 pets. Extra siblings are an extra $10 each. Medication is an extra $10 but we can certainly discuss further details depending on the type and requirements prior to booking.

A home visit x 2 per day also includes 2 pets. Extra siblings are an extra $10 each. Medications are an extra $10 depending on type and frequency. It is easier to discuss this prior to booking so we can finely tune your pets requirements, but I just wanted to give my clients the heads up that there may be medication charges.

NB/ As our booking system does not support the ability to change costing to reflect public holidays we will update your cost manually just before you make your booking so you don't get a surprise.

Thx
