Tick for the current visit. Print a sheet with empty boxes for each new visit.

A care sheet supports the sitter. It cannot replace one.
Review the instructions together and check the contact details before departure. Cats Protection advises at least twice-daily visits during holidays, with more frequent care for some cats depending on age and health.
This sheet is a Félinscope editorial organiser, not an individually vet-approved protocol. Access checks and visit updates are practical additions.
