Emergency Cat Visits & Sitting in Lincoln
Gem’s Cats offers emergency cat visits and sitting in Lincoln for unexpected situations where you suddenly need someone reliable to care for your cat.
Whether you have been rushed into A&E, admitted to hospital, are staying away from home unexpectedly, or simply cannot get back to your cat as planned, Gem’s Cats can help make sure your cat is safe, fed, checked on and cared for.
This service is ideal for short-notice situations where family or friends may be unavailable, busy, or unsure how to follow your cat’s usual routine. Cats can be sensitive to sudden changes, so having someone calm, experienced and cat-focused step in quickly can make a big difference.
During an emergency cat visit, we can help with feeding, fresh water, litter tray checks, wellbeing checks, medication support where agreed, gentle reassurance, play, fuss or quiet company depending on your cat’s personality. The service can be adapted around your cat’s immediate needs, whether they require a simple check-in or more regular support.
Every emergency situation is different, so we will always do our best to offer flexible, practical and caring support based on what is needed at the time.
The priority is to make sure your cat is safe, comfortable and cared for, while giving you peace of mind that someone trustworthy is helping when you need it most.

Reviews
Gemma is a real ‘cat lady’ and does a fantastic job of looking after our 5, very individual cats. We have 3 rescued feral kittens, 2 of which are super shy & timid – Ollie & Bob and the darling wee ‘Dot’ from the same farm, who for some reason, isn’t as shy or timid! Plus we’ve the 2 adults, Nellie (Senior House Cat) & Mowgli – ‘The Mighty Hunter’ They all have quite different needs with care and Gemma makes sure each is looked after. Gemma sends us pics as updates and keeps us informed. Reliable, trustworthy and cat knowledgeable too. I know our furry kids are in capable, and more importantly, genuine caring hands with Gemma. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and have already booked Gemma to come stay again with our cats.
Gem is absolutely amazing. She took the stress out of leaving the cats as we knew they would be in good hands. We received so many pictures and updates it was amazing. Our cats have been truly spoilt and we have returned to two very happy kitties. She is just a wonderful lady and I can not recommend her service high enough!
Gem was absolutely amazing! We couldn’t recommend her enough. We wanted to find an alternative to a cattery and Gem’s pet sitting service was perfect. We had lots of communication and updates on Pickle including photos and videos which helped us feel at ease. Pickle instantly took to Gem, and enjoyed a lot of attention and playing time throughout the stay. We are so glad we found Gem and will definitely be using her pet sitting services again in the future!
I can’t even begin to explain how Gemma’s service has transformed our Christmas. Having pets is just like having small furry children isn’t it ? But we can’t take them away to spend time with family for obvious reasons and leaving them seemed selfish and mean at Christmas. But then I discovered Gemma’s cats and she put my mind at rest and she has kept us updated with funny pictures and has spent time with them and they’ve had new treats and toys and cuddles and time spent with them. She is amazing and her business is professional and friendly and her knowledge and skills have totally helped me relax. Thankyou so much xx
If you need a cat-sitter in Lincoln, Gemma is the person to go to! Utilising a perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness, she has made my trip away anxiety free. With photo and video updates of my cat, I haven’t had to worry once and I know she is getting all her needs met. Videos Gemma has sent me prove that she is a natural with animals, to the point that I think my usually reserved cat will be disappointed when I’m back and Gemma is not making her daily visits. A huge bonus that Gemma was available to care for my cat over the Christmas holidays too. I can’t recommend her enough and I will be using her again in the future.
