About Our Sitting Kitty Cat Sitters

Why choose Sitting Kitty for your cat care?

We are the feline friendly alternative to a cattery. Your furry cat and kitten friends can stay in the comfort of their own home whilst you are away, safe in the knowledge that Sitting Kitty provides exceptional cat sitting care.

Sitting Kitty is a longstanding, limited company and we pride ourselves on providing a professional, trustworthy and dependable service. We are fully insured and are members of international Cat Care (formerly the Feline Advisory Bureau).

Alex and her team take their cat sitting responsibilities seriously and have DBS (formally Criminal Records Bureau) checks to ensure security and safety.

Understanding Cat Care Medication

Over the years we have become very adept at recognising some of the more common ailments that affect cats. We have also gained in depth experience in nursing cats with more long term conditions such as: Hyperthyroidism, heart conditions, lymphoma, tumours, diabetes, kidney problems, asthma, allergies, special dietary requirements and we also provide palliative care.

Given the above, we are very comfortable with all kinds of medications: pills, inhalers, injections and medicines in liquid form, we have even administered Subcutaneous Fluids to a cat with chronic kidney disease.

We understand the responsibility of caring for a cat that requires consistent care such as the strict timings for administering insulin and have an understanding of the types of cat medication most commonly prescribed.

Cat Feeding & Litter Trays

The diet of your cat whilst you are away is something we pay special attention to. How your cat is feeding is a good guide to the overall wellbeing of your cat. We ensure clean, fresh cat food is placed on every visit. Our team keep an eye to see that your cat is feeding appropriately. We also ensure there is plenty of fresh water so that your cat stays hydrated.

We also clean litter trays on each visit and dispose of the waste responsibly.

Background and Experience as Cat Sitters

Maggie Kenny was the founder of sitting kitty in 2002. Alex Bremner joined as a full time partner in 2015, after eight years of caring for cats with Sitting Kitty on a part time basis.

Maggie has now retired and Alex continues to run the business. She leads a small, fabulous team full of knowledge, experience and love of all things to do with cats and kittens. This in itself is a testament to the long-standing success of Sitting Kitty.

Alex has two cats of her own: Apollo and Sweetpea. Brother and sister, Alex found them at a local cat shelter and knew she could offer the care and love these nervous and shy siblings needed.
