Why cats do better at home
A cattery means a carrier, a car journey, a strange room and strange noises. Staying put means none of that.
A house that looks lived in
While I am there I will water the plants, bring in the post and open and close curtains, so the place looks occupied the whole time you are away.
Visits and prices
Most cats are happy with one visit a day. Two is better for kittens, older cats and anyone on medication.
| Visit | What is included | From |
|---|---|---|
| Standard visit Up to 2 cats | Feeding and fresh water, litter trays scooped, medication if needed, playtime and a WhatsApp update with photos. | £15 a visit |
| Standard plus 3 or more cats | Everything in a standard visit, plus grooming and care for a household of three cats or more. | £17 a visit |
These are starting prices. Tell me about your cats and I will confirm the cost at the free introduction visit, before you commit to anything.
How it works
Three steps, and the first one costs nothing.
A free introduction
I come to your home to meet your cats, learn their routines and answer your questions. If it feels right, we arrange the dates.
Updates while you are away
Photos and a message after every visit, so you always know how they are getting on.
Come home to a relaxed cat
No cattery to collect from and no sulking. Just a cat who has had company, food and fuss all week.
About me
After 23 years in a demanding corporate role, I stepped back to get my life in balance and to follow a lifelong passion for animals.
I have been a fur parent for over 18 years and was often away with work, so I know exactly how it feels to hand your babies over to someone else. My two beautiful Russian Blues were always happiest cared for in their own home.
Knowing your cat is relaxed where they belong means you can actually enjoy your time away, with regular photos and videos to reassure you. That is the service I now offer other fur parents in West Bridgford.

What owners say
From people in and around West Bridgford whose cats I look after.

Paula has fed and looked after our cats for many years. She is brilliant in every way — really caring, reliable and always keeps in touch. She has a great way of knowing exactly what your cat needs. She will always go that extra mile too, and knows what to do in any situation, whether it is an emergency trip to the vet or getting rid of the ‘gifts’ the cats have brought in. She is always calm and our cats have always taken to her. Thank mew, Paula!
Bella West Bridgford -
Paula has been looking after my cats for several years and I can happily recommend her. She genuinely loves cats, which I think really matters if you are going away for a longer stretch, as they get fuss as well as food. I get daily photos to reassure me that they are well and having a nice time.
Gillian West Bridgford -
Paula visited our three cats every day while we were away and made sure they were well looked after, comfortable and, most importantly, given plenty of attention. She clearly made a real effort to spend time with them rather than simply popping in to feed them — she sat with them and played with their toys. When we returned all three were happy and relaxed. It gave us great peace of mind, and we would not hesitate to recommend Cosy Cats.
