“IT IS A RELATIONSHIP BUILT ON TRUST + RELIABILITY”

ABOUT US

Cat + Bear, Pet and Home Management, is a unique small business in the City of Cape Town. Founded by myself, Catherine, a qualified Interior Designer (Ndip, Btech) and Animal Behaviour student (COAPE), in February 2020. Working independently, to have a more flexible lifestyle, was the inspiration behind using the more than 15 years experience with animals, gathered alongside my previous endeavors.

The intention has always been to create a relatable brand that offers a professional experience between our clients and services offered. While forming a bond and catering to every pet we work with comes first, the communication and relationship fostered with our clients is just as important to us. It is a relationship built on trust and reliability. Our team consists of carefully selected, small group of like-minded, remote-working and experienced animal lovers.

We share the same values and respect towards the management of your pet’s regular routine in the comfort of your home, with the same level of care and commitment as you do.
