Where cat visits cluster across Leicester
Stoneygate and Clarendon Park lead the city for bookings, leafy streets of professional households and family homes where indoor cats wait out long office days. Knighton and the West End add renters and student flats near the two campuses, the crowd who want a daily drop-in rather than a cattery when they head off. Oadby and Birstall bring quieter suburban rounds for anyone with a car. Morning and evening slots fill first, and plenty of owners book one or two short visits a day.
