For many cats, absolutely. Cats are territorial animals & generally feel safest within their own familiar environment. Moving them into a cattery often means unfamiliar smells, strange sounds, different feeding routines, travel stress, & close proximity to other animals. Some cats cope perfectly well with this, but many become anxious, withdrawn, or unsettled. Using a professional cat sitter allows your cat to remain in the comfort of home where everything smells, sounds, & feels familiar. They can continue sleeping in their favourite spots, follow their normal feeding routine, use their usual litter tray, & avoid the disruption of travelling & adapting to a new environment. Home cat sitting can be especially beneficial for elderly cats, indoor cats, nervous cats, rescue cats, or multi-cat households where maintaining routine is important.
