A local edge

Local know-how pays off in Boston

Boston gets rain in every season, frosty spells in winter and short days from November. On a cat round that means checking the heating and the windows, drying a cat that comes in wet, and fitting visits into daylight when the owner asks for it.

When owners travel

Cat visits peak over the summer holidays, Christmas and New Year, with a second wave on the February, May and October half-terms and the bank-holiday weekends. Outside those dates, weekday visits cover work trips and weekends away.

Know your Boston areas

Skirbeck and Fenside are east of the river, Wyberton to the south west, Fishtoft further east and Kirton beyond Wyberton to the south. Start from Witham if that is where you live.

Cat care in Boston

Flat fens, short trips

Almost all of Boston is PE21, including Skirbeck, Fenside and Wyberton, and the land is flat enough to cycle a round. Fishtoft runs out to PE22 and Kirton to PE20. Keep visits close, because the A16 and the town bridges can slow down at busy times.

What should I check on a winter cat visit in Boston?

Which parts of Boston can I cover for cat visits?
Cat visits here can be anywhere from Skirbeck to Fenside, as long as you arrive on time. The town, Skirbeck, Fenside, Witham and Wyberton are PE21, Fishtoft reaches into PE22, and Kirton is PE20. This page is Boston in Lincolnshire, so list those districts on your profile.
Can I do a Boston cat round by bike?
