Where cat visits cluster across Basingstoke
Most of the cat work sits with the family estates on the town’s edges, so Chineham and Hatch Warren tend to lead on bookings, with Kempshott and Brighton Hill close behind. Older parts like Old Basing bring their own steady trade from households that travel often and want someone reliable nearby. Picking two or three neighbouring areas and staying in them beats driving from one side of the town to the other between visits.
