Today marks the first anniversary of our Thame franchisee, Sam Heggie, who will be celebrating in style after a successful and busy 12 months. Over the past year, Sam has welcomed five new team members to The Cat Butler family.

Since last summer, Sam has cared for a variety of cat breeds, from domestic Moggies (like her own 17-year-old cat, Patch) to Maine Coons, Ragdolls, Cornish Rexes, British Shorthairs, Persians, and Scottish Folds. In addition to cats, she has also looked after a rabbit, chinchillas, chickens, and even a tortoise or two!

Sam Heggie celebrates her first anniversary at The Cat Butler Thame - her dedication and passion shine through

Sam said:

"It truly has been an incredible year and I’m extremely proud of where The Cat Butler Thame is right now. We’re receiving new enquiries through the website, over the phone and via Facebook every week, often daily, and the clients we already have registered with us are continuing to repeat book time and time again. I couldn’t be happier with what has been achieved so far in our first year – we’re even visiting kitty clients at RAF Benson, Oxfordshire, now too!”

“I’m so proud of my team and the fact they too are working hard to ensure we are caring for as many cats as we can in and around Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire so owners can go away on holiday with peace of mind knowing their beloved cats are being looked after in the familiarity of their own homes.”

The Team at The Cat Butler Thame - Andy, Charlotte, Lucy and Emily (minus the camera-shy Karen)

It’s fantastic to have Andy, Charlotte, Lucy, Karen, and Emily, on board. They’re all FURBULOUS, trained, insured, and vetted, and of course are mad about felines too!

As the business continues to thrive, Sam has expanded her team with five new Cat Butlers. They provide first-class support during the busier times, such as the summer holidays, half-term, and the festive season. These new team members are also taking on their own clients, contributing to the ongoing success of The Cat Butler in Thame.

Meet Patch - The beloved Golden Oldie of The Cat Butler Thame

The Cat Butler Thame will be celebrating with a glass of fizz – and a big cuddle with Patch. On behalf of The Cat Butler Thame team, I’d like to say a huge thank you to all our wonderful clients and furballs for making my dream of running a professional cat sitting business in my local area, become a reality – it’s simply PURRFECT!

Owner & Founder

The Cat Butler was set up by Sandra James in recognition of the fact that a stay in a cattery can be unsettling for many cats and also their owners.
