Where did it start, where are we now
I established A Furry World in 2003. After many years of dreaming of working with animals, I finally took the plunge quit my city job and started grooming, walking, visiting, training and boarding animals and I haven’t looked back since #bestjobever.
My vision was to offer clients the kind of personal, attention-to-detail service & care I would want for my own pets. I quickly realised that the kind of care and attention I offered was proving very popular and soon found myself needing to find some fellow pet lovers to keep up with demand.
I now run a small team of dedicated pet lovers, I made a decision to keep the team small so our focus can continue to be on providing a personalised, loving, accountable, and outstanding service. A Furry World is Not a search engine or an impersonal agency but a tight nit team of genuine pet lovers headed up by myself.
When taking on an assignment a meeting with the client and pet is arranged with their dedicated carer. In the meeting, they will go through a comprehensive form to insure we have all the relevant information needed to provide the very best care and service possible.
A Furry World and our sister companies Citikiti and London Dog Walking offer a wide range of services for as long or short as you need - every day of the year including bank holidays, weekends, school holidays and Christmas & New Year.
We will do our best to help answer any pet-related questions and work closely with other pet professionals including Vets, trainers, and groomers enabling us to offer and direct to a wide range of pet-related services.
We offer to look after your cat in your own home for as long or short time as you need.
When using our visiting service, you can enjoy your holidays knowing that your cat feels safe and relaxed and your home is looked after too.
When you go away we move in to look after your cats and your home.
A house-sitting service may be especially relevant when you have an elderly or ill cat needing more round-the-clock care or for a very young cat who craves more play and stimulation.

Cats are territorial creatures of habit and can find catteries very stressful and upsetting. It is generally agreed by pet professionals that they are most relaxed and comfortable staying in their own homes when "parents" go away for short or long breaks. Travelling to and from catteries can also be stressful for both you and your cat. Our Cat Sitting service means your cat can stay home whenever you are away.
Since the beginning of 2019 CitiKiti has also offered cat behaviour therapy as well. Cat behaviour therapy can help if your cat is urine marking, stressed, anxious, aggressive, destructive or urinating or defecating outside the litter tray. The CitiKiti Cat Behaviourist can also offer advice on getting cats to get along, getting cats and dogs to live together peacefully, and taking care of kittens or older cats. Our Cat Behaviourist offers home consultations in London and in some cases worldwide video consultations work as well.

Cat food: cats are obligate carnivores which means they need to eat meat in order to survive. Eating a vegetarian or vegan diet is not an option for your cat. Cats depend on the nutrients found in meat, most notably taurine and arginine. For this reason it is important to feed your cat a quality diet supplemented with a few treats. Ask your vet or pet shop for advice about their range of cat food and treats.
