Services and Rates

We understand every cat has unique needs and preferences. That’s why we offer flexible visit options, ranging from once to multiple times a day, depending on what works best for you and your feline friend(s). During each visit, which can last up to 30 minutes, our dedicated team will ensure that your cat(s) are well taken care of. This includes cleaning feeding bowls/plates, refreshing water and food, and scooping dirty litter.
As an added convenience, we’re happy to assist with bringing in papers and mail and watering your plants. Trust us to provide the highest care for your beloved pets, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

We take a personalized approach to your cat’s needs. We understand that every feline has unique preferences and tailor our time allocation accordingly. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, grooming, or snuggling up for a cozy nap, we ensure their needs are met with utmost care and attention.

For more reserved cats, we recognize the importance of patience and respect. We understand that some cats require time to acclimate to new people and surroundings. Our team is well-versed in providing a calm and nurturing environment that helps your cat feel at ease in our company.

We value your cat’s personal space and prioritize their comfort. Our team takes great care to avoid imposing ourselves on your cat and allow them to permit us to interact with them willingly. Our friendly and professional approach makes your cat feel loved and cherished during their stay with us.

Play Date

At just $45 per visit, your cat(s) can enjoy a daily, full "catation" experience of up to 30 minutes. Our team is dedicated to visiting as impactful and enjoyable as possible, providing them with a caring, warm, and professional service that, we hope, will leave them feeling well-provided, rejuvenated, and refreshed. Treat them to the ultimate indulgence and take advantage of our unbeatable service.

Breakfast / Dinner Dates

Our most sought-after "feline-favored" service package provides two comprehensive vacation visits per day, each lasting up to 30 minutes, at a competitive rate of $45 for the first visit and $35 for the second, totaling $80 per day. This premier option ensures your cherished pet receives exceptional care and attention during your absence.

“Pop-N” or “Tuck-N”

We offer a convenient and efficient service for our valued clients, including a quick check-in and a meal for their pets. This service is exclusively available for clients who schedule a complete visit on the same day and for depart or return days. Our Pop-N/Tuck-N visit is priced at $30, providing exceptional value for pet owners who require a shorter service while ensuring their furry companions receive the care and attention they deserve.

Slumber Party

Thank you for considering an overnight visit with us! We'd love to accommodate your needs; however, we can only offer these visits on a very limited basis. Don't hesitate to inquire about rates and availability, though, as we always appreciate the opportunity to help however we can. Thank you for being so understanding, and we look forward to hearing from you soon!

Special Needs

Complete litterbox cleaning: $25

Did you know that regularly emptying and thoroughly cleaning your cat's litter box is essential for their well-being? We strive to provide the highest quality care for your feline friends, including maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. We kindly request that you ensure the litter box is in satisfactory condition before entrusting your cats to our care. However, if you would like our dedicated team to perform a complete cleaning and litter refill, we are more than happy to offer this service at an additional fee. With warmth and professionalism, we ensure that your cat's needs are met, and that they feel right at home under our attentive care.

In-Home Consult / key pick-ups: $25 / Free

At Mission Cats In-Home Care, we understand that entrusting someone with the keys to your home is a big decision. That's why we offer a personalized In-Home Consult service that allows us to meet and greet you in person, giving you peace of mind and assurance that you're in good hands.

For only $25, our team will visit your home for the first consultation, which includes key pick-up and drop-off. And if you only need us to collect or drop off the keys, that service is completely free of charge.

We believe in clear communication and want you to feel comfortable with any changes in your home. Therefore, should any adjustments occur, we're happy to provide a re-introduction service for an additional $25. We're committed to building a solid relationship with you and are always available for further key pick-ups or drop-offs at no extra cost. Rest assured; our team is dedicated to providing professional and warm services, making your home our top priority. Contact us today to schedule your In-Home Consult and experience the difference of working with a team that genuinely cares.

Extended snuggle visits/Extra visit time:

We strive to provide a warm and professional experience for all of our clients, and we are committed to ensuring that our pricing is transparent and fair. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you.

Errand run: $30 plus the cost of supplies

We understand that life can be busy, and sometimes, particular necessities may slip our minds. Should your beloved feline companions require any essential items during your absence, please rest assured that we are more than happy to procure them on your behalf. In such instances, a nominal fee will be applied to cover the cost of this additional service, ensuring that your cats are well-cared for in a professional and nurturing manner.

Grooming

All baths include comb out, nail trim, bath and hand finish drying.  

ABOUT THE MEET AND GREET (IN-HOME CONSULT): $25

Meeting cats in their home is a unique experience compared to meeting them in a shelter. When we come into your home, we understand that we are entering their territory, and it's essential to make a positive impression.

To ensure an excellent first impression, we like to meet your furry friends by the entryway, allowing them to check us out and get used to our scent. This way, they will remember us when we come back without you there to introduce us.

We also find it helpful to learn about your cat's favorite toys or treats to help put them at ease and build a trusting relationship. Routine is vital to cats, and we aim to provide consistent care and attention to maintain their sense of familiarity and comfort.

While we can never replace you, we strive to be a reliable source of companionship and entertainment for your feline companions during your absence. We aim to be a fun, cuddly, food-bearing distraction between naps, ensuring your cats are happy, relaxed, and stress-free until your return.

At the meeting we will go over their daily care routine and we’ll also pick up sets of tested keys. 

Operational Support Fee

We genuinely appreciate and cherish the trust you've placed in our business. We are introducing a slight adjustment in our pricing model to maintain and enhance the quality of our services. We will apply a minimal 10% Operational Support Fee to all transactions, irrespective of your preferred payment method - cash, check, credit, or debit card. This necessary modification ensures that we can consistently meet and even exceed your service expectations, as we remain committed to offering you an outstanding experience with us.

ABOUT SHY CATS

care shy cat

We love working with shy and complicated cats!

At Mission Cats In-Home Care, we understand and appreciate the unique personalities of each cat, including those who may be shy or display nervous or aggressive behavior around new people. We kindly request that you inform us of such tendencies, so we can thoughtfully plan our approach to ensure your cat’s comfort and well-being.

To minimize potential stress, we will avoid using the buzzer and opt for a phone call when arriving for an initial meet and greet with a shy cat. Our top priority is to respect the boundaries of all cats, particularly those who may be apprehensive.

We must visually confirm your cat’s well-being during each visit, so please share any favorite hiding spots with us. Rest assured, it is rare for a cat to remain hidden for more than one or two visits under our care.

We are mindful not to overstay our welcome with shy cats and will not insist on remaining in your home for 30 minutes if it causes discomfort. We aim to give your cat the space they need to feel at ease.

Introducing your cat to compassionate, cat-loving individuals can be beneficial in the long run, as they may require care or medication from others. It’s never too late to help your cat become more accepting of new people, which can ultimately enhance their quality of life—and yours.

Rest assured, if there's a slight delay in communication, it may be due to occasional technological hiccups or a busy schedule. Still, we are always committed to keeping you in the loop.

Therefore, we want you to know that we value your need for respite just as much as we cherish your trust in our services. As a cherished member of the Mission Cats community, we want to ensure that we cater to your unique preferences regarding updates on your feline friend(s) while you are away. You can update your client profile and communicate your preferred format and frequency of updates before each trip. We will gladly oblige your requests and provide you with the peace of mind you deserve, knowing that your furry companions are in good hands.

Notification

At our core, we strive to provide a comfortable and stress-free experience for you and your furry friends during your time away. We understand that leaving your beloved pets can be a difficult decision, but we want to assure you that we are here to alleviate any worries or concerns you may have.

As such, we kindly request that you keep us informed of any changes to your travel plans, including if you are returning home earlier than anticipated.
