frequently asked questions

Q: How long have you been in business?

A: Pink Paws & Purrs was created as a dedicated, cat-exclusive company built on years of professional pet care experience through Pawsitively Pink Pet Services. Our team has been caring for local pets for years, and Pink Paws & Purrs brings that experience into a service designed entirely around cats—their routines, boundaries, communication styles, and individual comfort.

Q: How long will it take to be contacted?

A: When you submit our Get Started form, it comes straight to our inbox, not into a black hole. We look over your information, make sure we are a good fit for your pets needs and your location, then reach out by text or email with a few simple questions. From there we set up your client portal, send your welcome letter, and help you schedule your first assessment visit.

 

Our goal is always to respond the same day during business hours. During very busy times it may be closer to 24 hours, but you will never be ignored or forgotten.

Q: How will you keep my cat safe in my home?

A: Your cat's safety is non-negotiable for us. In your home we follow your house rules, secure doors and windows, and pay close attention to the details that keep an indoor cat safe — making sure they can't slip out, keeping hazards out of reach, and never leaving anything the way we found it unsecured.

Q: What is your experience with cats who have different behavioral or medical needs?

A: Our team has hands-on experience across the full range of cat personalities — opinionated rescues, mellow seniors, shy or anxious cats, and medically fragile cats who need careful routines. We've also spent years gaining veterinary-clinic experience with cat-specific illnesses, so we can care for shy, senior, anxious, and medically complex cats with real confidence.

Q: Are you licensed, bonded and insured?

A: Yes. Pink Paws & Purrs is fully insured and bonded. We take professional protection seriously because you’re trusting us with your cat, your home, and your peace of mind. We’re happy to provide proof of coverage upon request.

Q: what is our most popular service?

A: Most families choose our Purrfect Essentials 30-minute visit — food, fresh water, litter care, a wellness check, and calm interaction at your cat's pace. For cats who need more time to warm up, extra enrichment, or medication administration, Signature Purr (40 minutes) is popular. For multi-cat households, seniors, or complex medical needs, Royal Whisker (60 minutes) gives us the time to do it right. Together we'll help you choose what fits your cat's routine and your season of life.

Q: Do you care for cats?

A: Yes! Pink Paws & Purrs is 100% cat-exclusive. We care for kittens, adult cats, seniors, shy or anxious cats, and cats with medical or special care needs. Because we focus entirely on cats, every visit is designed around feline behavior, communication, comfort, and individual routines. If your cat has special medical or behavioral needs, we’ll review their care requirements with you before booking to make sure we’re the right fit.

Q: What does a typical visit look like?

A: No two cats are the same, but most visits follow a comforting rhythm. We greet your cat and read their body language first, on their terms. We refresh water, serve meals or treats as instructed, scoop the litter box, and build in real playtime — or just quiet company for the shy and snoozy ones.

Before we leave, we do a quick home check, tidy anything we used, make sure doors and windows are secure, and leave your cat settled and relaxed, not spun up.

Q: How do you handle emergencies or if my cat gets sick or injured while in your care?

A: We hope we never need to use our emergency training, but we are prepared if we do. Before your first booking, we collect your veterinarian information, emergency contacts, and any special instructions. If we notice that something is not right with your cat, we reach out to you right away.

If the situation appears urgent and we cannot reach you, we follow your signed permissions and our safety protocols to seek veterinary care. Through it all, your cat's comfort and well being come first, and we keep clear records of what happened and the steps we took.

Q: Will my cat have the same sitter each visit, and do you have backup care?


A: We are a team based company, which means your cat gets a small circle of familiar humans instead of depending on just one person. You may not see the exact same sitter every visit, but the faces stay consistent and they all share detailed notes, updates, and your cat's little quirks with one another.

Every sitter follows the same care instructions and detailed notes, and we’ll always let you know who is scheduled. No matter which familiar team member visits, your cat’s routine, preferences, boundaries, and comfort remain the priority.

Q: What information do you need from me before you start caring for my cat?


A: The more we know, the more we can care for your cat the way you do. Before our first visit we ask about

  • Daily routine

  • Feeding and treats

  • Medications and medical history

  • Fears, triggers, and off limit things

  • Favorite games, comfort items, and hiding spots

  • Emergency contacts and veterinarian details

  • Home access and security instructions

This helps us step into your cat's world gently and respectfully so our time together feels familiar and safe, not stressful.

Q: Can you provide references or reviews from other clients?


A: Absolutely. Many of our families come to us through referrals from friends, neighbors, veterinary professionals, and other happy clients. You can also read reviews from local pet parents to learn more about their experiences with our care.

For us, the highest compliment is when someone trusts us with their pet because another client said, “These are my people.”

Q: How do you communicate with me after each visit and what kind of updates will I get?

A: After every visit you receive a visit report in your Time to Pet app, with a written update, photos, and any important notes. We let you know about meals, water, litter box habits, medications, energy level, and any funny or sweet moments from our time together.

You should never have to sit and wonder how your cat is doing. Our goal is that you can exhale, smile at the photos, and get back to your day or your trip with a lighter heart.

Q: What are your policies around scheduling cancellations and payment?

A: We want scheduling, cancellations, and payment to feel clear from the beginning. Before your first booking, we’ll review how scheduling works, how far in advance to request holiday or vacation care, when invoices are sent, and when payment is due.

Our current cancellation policy is available in the Client Documents section of your Time To Pet portal and is also included at the bottom of every invoice, so you can easily reference it whenever you need it.

Q: How do I tip my sitter?

A: Tipping is never required, but it is always deeply appreciated. For convenience, a suggested 20% tip is automatically added to your invoice. You are always welcome to change the amount or remove the tip entirely before payment.

Tips are shared among our eligible pet care team through our team tip pool, helping recognize the caregivers who contribute to providing dependable, consistent care for our clients and their cats.

Whether you choose to tip or not, your trust in us to care for your cat means the world to our team.

Medical Support & Insulin Care for Cats

Q: Can you care for a diabetic CAT who needs insulin injections?

A: Yes. We regularly care for diabetic cats and understand how important consistency can be. When insulin administration is part of your cat’s care plan, we review your veterinarian’s instructions, feeding schedule, prescribed dose and timing, and your cat’s usual response to injections before services begin.

Insulin visits are scheduled around your cat’s established feeding and medication routine whenever possible, and are assigned to team members trained and approved to provide that level of care.

Q: What happens if my diabetic CAT has an emergency while in your care?

A: Before we begin, we ask you to share the early warning signs you have seen in your cat, what your veterinarian has recommended, and which hospital you prefer if an emergency happens.

If we notice concerning symptoms, such as signs of low blood sugar or unusual behavior, we act quickly. We follow your emergency plan, contact you, and seek veterinary care if needed. You will be kept in the loop with clear, real time updates so you are never left wondering what is happening.

Q: How do you handle insulin injections during visits?


A: We follow your written plan exactly. That includes confirming your cat has eaten as directed, preparing the correct dose, and giving the injection using calm, low stress handling. Afterward, we note the time, dose, and any observations about how your cat looked or behaved.

If your cat refuses food or seems unwell, we pause and contact you before giving insulin unless we have a very specific plan from you and your veterinarian that says otherwise. Your cat's safety always wins.

.

Q: What do you need from me before you agree to provide insulin or other medical care?


A: For any medical care including insulin, we ask for

  • Current dosing instructions from you and your veterinarian

  • Feeding schedule and what counts as “a full meal” for your cat

  • Veterinarian contact information and preferred emergency hospital

  • Any patterns or warning signs you have noticed in the past

  • What has helped your cat during previous episodes or flare ups

Together we create a plan that feels safe and realistic. Our goal is to support your cat's health and give you the courage to travel or work without feeling like you are risking their well being.
