More accountable than a casual drop-in. More connected than a gig assignment.
Cats in the City brings an established feline-only organization into the home: trained caregivers, client records, insurance, management, backup planning, medication capability, and connected grooming, boarding, transport, rehabilitation, rescue, and transition resources.
The care is built around cats and supported by an organization.
Cats in the City has provided feline-only services since 2006, creating experience across home care, grooming, boarding, medication, behavior, seniors, medical complexity, transport, rescue, and transition support.
Feline-only specialization
Care methods, observation, communication, and service design are built around cats rather than adapted from a mixed-species model.
Bonded and insured
The service is provided through a professional company with organizational accountability for entering the home and caring for the cats.
Structured client profiles
Household access, cat baselines, medication, veterinarians, instructions, communications, and repeat-care information remain organized.
Management and backup
Scheduling, illness, weather, key access, emergency questions, and service changes are supported beyond one independent individual.
Medication capability
Approved oral, topical, eye, injectable, and fluid procedures can be considered within a defined care plan and fee structure.
Connected feline care
Home care can connect with grooming, boarding, transport, complex care, rescue, rehabilitation, rehoming, and lifetime planning.
Updates should tell you how the cat is functioning.
Photos are valuable, but they are most useful when paired with meaningful information about food, litter, medication, location, demeanor, mobility, play, home conditions, and changes from baseline.
The original request may not remain the whole problem.
Declining grooming, matting, appetite loss, medication failure, litter changes, mobility loss, unsafe housing, caregiver strain, or a failed home placement may require another part of the Cats in the City network.

Support for cats whose medication, feeding, litter, behavior, handling, or home-care system is no longer functioning reliably.
Structured Rehab →Rescue and stabilization
Cats in crisis may need support staying with their family, temporary stabilization, adoption help, or a different care pathway.
Cats in the City Rescue →Structured rehoming
FELINE TRANSITIONS® provides a more deliberate path when a cat needs stabilization and a carefully planned move to another home.
Structured cat rehoming →Lifetime care planning
Guardians can plan authority, advocacy, financial support, and future care so a cat is not left without protection.
Lifetime Care Program →Cat sitting should remain the recommendation only while it remains the right structure.
A connected organization can help identify when more frequent visits, overnight support, boarding, veterinary care, transport, grooming, rehabilitation, or transition planning is safer than continuing the original request unchanged.
Remain at home
Stable cats with reliable food, water, litter, medication, environment, and safe observation gaps may remain well supported through in-home visits.
Explore cat-sitting services →Increase continuity
Some cats need twice-daily visits, overnight support, shorter observation gaps, or more extensive medication and appetite oversight.
Higher-continuity care →Change the setting
When the home, schedule, appetite, medical plan, or caregiver system is not safe between visits, another structure may be indicated.
Compare sitting and boarding →Check location, estimate the plan, and enter the secure client portal.
Availability is confirmed after the team reviews dates, travel zone, staffing, access, medication, and the cats’ current care profiles.
