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.
New Clients
We are at capacity and not accepting new clients. We are purr-fectly happy to discussion options with you and welcome your email.
