The Shire is open for business most days of the year; we will always communicate closures for holiday and personal time in advance. Closed dates are Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Calendar for Pet Care
All pets must be visited at least once every 24 hours (some pets require multiple daily visits). Dangers such as lethal ailments like a urethral blockage or potential home damages can have costly and disastrous consequences. We try to give timeframes of our visits, but due to the unforeseen nature of pet care, exact times are not scheduled. The Shire prioritizes cats with medical needs. Our daily work hours are morning visits (9 a.m.–12 p.m.), afternoon visits (1 p.m.–4 p.m.), and evening visits (6 p.m.–9 p.m.). Pet parents may request which timeframe they prefer when scheduling.
