About Us

All carers are trained, insured and vetted with recent clear Scottish Disclosures. The team are covered by Petplan Sanctuary insurance and have qualifications in Cat First Aid Training. Every visit is monitored and quality controlled by the managers of each branch so you can rest assured that no matter which carer visits your home, the quality of the service will remain consistently high.

Services

We make daily visits to cats in their own homes to save them the trip to the cattery. Cats feel most at ease in their own familiar surroundings and as long as their food is available as normal and their litter tray is cleaned regularly they are a lot less stressed than if they are transplanted temporarily into a new environment.

Our visits last 30 minutes and incorporate taking in mail, opening/closing blinds, washing bowls and mats, refreshing water and food bowls, cleaning and refreshing litter trays, watering plants, feeding fish, caring for other small pets in the home (ie: rabbits, chickens, guineapigs, hamsters, lizards etc), administering medication (including pills and injections if required), taking out bins, cat grooming as necessary and TLC to include games, cuddles and love.

 Candyfloss Cats is run as a professional business. To this end we are available 365 days a year/7 days a week and cover Ayr, Edinburgh and Glasgow. All visits are monitored by the management for your peace of mind.

We have a team of fully trained and experienced cat concierges, all of whom have an up to date disclosure with Disclosure Scotland. We are insured through Petplan Santuary and are all trained in cat first aid.

You can see from our Facebook Page which has over 2000 organic likes that our customers are now a little community. They love the service we provide and tell others about it which is brilliant! It means we are doing a great job.

What do we charge?

STANDARD RATES

Cost per 30 minute visit:

£14.50 if you have one cat.

£16.50 if you have two cats.

£19.50 if you have three or more cats.

There is an additional £5 medicine administration fee that applies to all visits where a cat requires an insulin injection or a pill given by hand. If your cat is aggressive we are unable to provide this service and recommend that you contact your vet for advice.

If we have to shop for additional cat litter or cat food whilst you are away there is a £10 charge for this service.

If you have used the service previously but require us to collect your house keys for subsequent trips there is Key Collection Fee of £10. Alternatively the keys can be dropped off with us. PLease contact your branch for details. Most clients leave a set of keys in our care but we undertstand that this isn’t always possible.

Please note that there is an initial £25 registration fee to join Candyfloss Cats as a client.

For listed areas that take longer to travel to (such as Bishopbriggs, Torrance, Lenzie, Bowling) the £19.50 rate applies regardless of the number of cats in the household.

Our charges are determined by where you live and how many cats you have. Please get in touch for an accurate cost.

Our charges are per visit and there is no discount for block bookings. This is because, unlike a cattery scenario, our time and travel costs do not decrease the more visits we do.
