Small changes are noticed

Play, enrichment, brushing, quiet presence, or respectful distance based on how the cat is regulating.
Medication when arranged
Oral, topical, eye, injectable, or fluid support may be available when included in the care plan.
Updates after visits
Photos and written notes help guardians understand how their cat is functioning while they are away.
Security & household checks
Doors, locks, packages, lights, plants, trash, and other agreed home-care details are managed during visits.

Read the case →Before you route into booking
The booking portal collects the full care request. These answers clarify what the ZIP tool and routing page can tell you first.
Does the ZIP checker confirm appointment availability?
No. It identifies whether the ZIP appears in the current published service area and shows the corresponding base rate when possible. Requested dates and sitter availability are confirmed through booking.
Why does my ZIP require an address check?
Some ZIP codes cross a service boundary, county line, river, island, or route cutoff. Those areas cannot be priced accurately from the ZIP alone, so the team needs the exact address.
Can Cats in the City give medication during visits?
Medication support may include oral medication, eye drops, topical medication, injections, or subcutaneous fluids when arranged in advance. Current add-on fees are shown above.
What if my cat needs more than daily drop-ins?
Use the overnight, cat-sitting-versus-boarding, or “does my cat need boarding?” pages. Cats needing greater continuity, appetite observation, diabetic management, or more frequent intervention may need another structure.
Where do new and existing clients go?
The main booking button opens the Cats in the City cat-sitting portal. New clients can create an account, and existing clients can sign in to request services and manage care details.
