Alicat Purrfections Cat Visiting Service

I help cat owners in West Lothian who need someone to feed and check on their cats when they are away. I offer home visits so the cats are relaxed and safe in the comfort of their home, therefore you don’t have to worry about them and have peace of mind.

My home cat check visiting service is tailored to you and your cat’s needs. Here are the key elements of my service and my Business values….

A L I C A T stands for:

Attentive: I try to ensure I see all your cats every visit (not always possible if outdoor cats). I give them a well-being check, lots of fuss & attention, treats if allowed plus a bit of playtime. I always travel with a cat carrier in the boot of my car in case of an emergency, as well as a First Aid kit. I have attended a PDSA Pet First Aid Training course.

Local: Based in Livingston and covers all Towns & Villages throughout West Lothian.

Individualised: Bespoke service tailored to your specific requirements.

Caring: Cats are beautiful and complex animals. They have their territories and like to feel safe in familiar surroundings. This is why I offer pet-sitting as an alternative to Boarding or a Cattery as cats can become stressed & anxious.

Affordable: A service that is reliable and offers a high level of care, at a price which is very affordable. Prices are per visit (see below).

Trustworthy: Member of Disclosure Scotland (PVG/Police checked), Fully Insured and GDPR compliant.
Home Security – Keys not identifiable & kept secure at all times.
All doors locked and double-checked prior to leaving.
Post moved and sorted, lights on/off, curtains or blinds open/closed.
Removable car window advertisements.
