Where cat visits cluster across Northampton
Cat demand in Northampton sits with renters and travelling professionals who have no one to cover feeds while they are away, so the bookings stack up in Abington and Wootton first. Kingsthorpe, Duston, Far Cotton and Hardingstone follow close behind, with plenty of terraced streets where an indoor cat needs a morning and evening call. Picking two or three neighbouring areas and working them well beats driving across the whole town for scattered visits.
