Cat Calls Ltd was the first professional, full-time cat sitting service in the UK.

We have been caring exclusively for local cats for the last 21 years, having been established in 1987.

Cat Calls was originally conceived as an alternative to a cattery, allowing your cat to stay happy and secure in his or her own home without the need for an often-lengthy - and noisy - car journey, and time spent in unfamiliar, and possibly stressful surroundings.

However, customers soon realised that there was an added advantage in having their homes checked each day: taking in milk / post / junk mail and watering window boxes in season gives your property a more "lived-in" appearance in your absence.

We always make our calls as discreetly as possible, and to help with this, our vehicles are unobtrusive and are not sign written with advertising logos ( unlike some other pet-care-providers’ company vehicles.)

Cat Calls usually call once per day, mainly, but not exclusively, between the hours of 10am and 4pm. This means that our visits happen during Veterinary opening hours, should your cat require emergency attention.

Over the years, we have found that most customers want calls once daily, so we only offer a twice daily service for nursing kittens, very elderly cats, or those needing twice-daily medication (Diabetes, Hyperthyroidism etc)

We do not make calls on an alternate day basis - it is not fair on the cats, and invalidates our insurance.

Cat Calls is owned and run by Jane Matthews who has been working with horses and cats for over 25 years.

Specialising in cats, Jane has wide experience of all aspects of home care, and has nursed cats with Leukaemia, Feline Asthma, Diabetes, Kidney Failure, Terminal Cancer and Paraplegia.

At weekends and over busy periods, Jane is helped by Pennie Hedge and Lucy Chandler,who are both former customers. Pennie has had cats for over 25 years, and, in addition to caring for her own cats, Lucy has previously worked with Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, specialising in socialising stressed and frightened cats.

We are all very experienced in every aspect of cat-care, and, of course, are enthusiastically cat-owned ourselves!

Working as a small team means that we are able to get to know the cats in our care well: all the better for quickly detecting warning signs should a cat become unwell.

We are NOT an agency, and we NEVER subcontract the care of your cats to anyone else. NOR do we "fit your cats in" around a schedule that includes care of other pets - such as dog-walking. We just look after cats ….. ( and sometimes the odd goldfish or hamster )

Cat Calls Ltd has been very generously recommended by all the Veterinary Practices in the area over many years, and we appreciate and thank them for their continued support.
