I have started a new business.
It is called The Cat Carer.
I can offer literally any service you could ever want or need for your cats.

𝗔𝘁 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲
If you are going away, whether it be on holiday, going into hospital or traveling for work, I will go anywhere in the Wellington region to care for your cats.

I can go to your house as many times a day as your cats require, to feed them, refresh their water and clean their litter trays.

These visits include spending time with your cats for play time, pats, cuddles and brushing.

I will also take pictures of your cats to send to you so you know they’re safe and happy while you’re away.

𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀
I am purrfectly comfortable administering medication to cats such as worm tablets, flea treatment and eye drops.

𝗖𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 (𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹)
If you need to move your cat from one location to another, I can help with that.

Book a vet appointment and let me know the time and date, I will pick you and your cat up from your house, take you to the appointment, wait while you see the vet and take you and your cat back home.

𝗖𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗩𝗲𝘁
If you need transport to the After Hours Vet in Kaiwharawhara, ring me on 0273566491 and I will come and collect you. This service is available 24/7.

𝗖𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘄 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴
Although cats need their claws, they can sometimes get a bit too long.

A lot of people don’t feel comfortable or confident to trim their cat’s claws themselves but that is not a problem because I am happy to do it for you.

𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀
Running out of cat food or litter or anything else your furry friends need? Let me know what you need and I will go out and get it for you and deliver it to you as soon as I can (always within the same day!)

𝗔𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁/𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱
Send me a message on my Facebook page (name The Cat Carer), visit my website www.thecatcarer.com... or send me an email at thecatcarernz@gmail.com and I will see what I can do to assist!
