If you are going away, whether it be on holiday, going into hospital or traveling for work, I will go anywhere in the Wellington region to care for your cats.

I can go to your house as many times a day as your cats require, to feed them, refresh their water and clean their litter trays.

These visits include spending time with your cats for play time, pats, cuddles and brushing.

I will also take pictures of your cats to send to you so you know theyโ€™re safe and happy while youโ€™re away.

If you need to move your cat from one location to another, I can help with that.

Book a vet appointment and let me know the time and date, I will pick you and your cat up from your house, take you to the appointment, wait while you see the vet and take you and your cat back home.

Although cats need their claws, they can sometimes get a bit too long.

A lot of people donโ€™t feel comfortable or confident to trim their catโ€™s claws themselves but that is not a problem because I am happy to do it for you.

IS GRIFFIN'S OUR BEST CHOICE?

It was wafer thin very much like a wine biscuit base, topped with a thin layer of chocolate inbedded with hundreds & thousands candy pebbles. Selling for $2.50 a 170g packet from a local supermarket, the special biscuits were more expensive than their standard array. This to me is par for the course of what constitutes Griffin's. They are on the 'mean' side and are outgunned by the Australian produced Arnott's whose range, price, packaging size and content are superior to Griffin's overall.

Griffin's started in Nelson and had a major presence in Lower Hutt.
