jacqui835 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I'm sorry if I am not allowed to post this here, but I'm sure I remember reading posts from people wanting to mind animals and I would much prefer that my cat was in a loving environment for the 5 days we'll be away than just in a kennel/vet type environment... I will be going to Sydney over Christmas, from the 23 - 28th December and will be taking Sammy with me but Vasco (my tonkinese kitten) will be staying in Adelaide. He is a very friendly cat, quite frisky in that he attacks dobermans on a daily basis and loves every human he meets. He's addicted to attention and if there are 2 people on the couch, he will stretch out so he can be on both. He's one of those cats that is never happier than when he's sprawled on a lap, and in ecstacy with every pat. I imagine that he would be happier living with someone else whilst we're away, I think he would be very upset if he found himself alone at night. He is a 100% indoor cat, and I would provide all food and kitty litter etc. Details you may need: Breed: Tonkinese Age: just over 4 months Gender: male Vaccinated/wormed: up to date Parasites: none Desexed: not yet Health Issues: none Compatiability with dogs: good Compatiability with cats: unknown And of course I will pay a pet-sitting fee, not really sure what the going rates are but open to negotiation - I would like for Vasco to have a nice holiday while we're away.

Trishm Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Would have been happy to help you, but I am going away for exactly the same dates as you. I have someone coming to stay to mind my dogs. I bred and showed Burmese for 16 years, and have recently lost my last puss, so it would have been nice to have the company of one for a few days. Good luck in finding someone.

Clyde Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 What about a house sitter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellinnet Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Oh, I would love to be able to do it. BUT... we're away too, and can't have cats thanks to my daughters allergies. Sorry I can't help, but I hope you find the right person soon who can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacqui835 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 What about a house sitter? That would be fine, but it's only for 5 days. If anyone wanted a house to stay in for 5 days you're more than welcome and we have a huge yard if you have a dog. I hope I find someone, I really don't like the thought of Vasco living in a cage for a week, he's just not that sort of cat. I'm also not sure about a lot of the ads on gumtree etc though where they come to your house once each day and the cat is alone the rest of the time - he cries when he can't find anyone There's still more than 5 weeks before I go anywhere though so hopefully something comes up.

The Spotted Devil Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Ask around locally too. I often used to house sit for friends of my parents when I was younger but I was very responsible. We are going camping for a week with the dogs and the cats are going into a great boarding facility. I've asked a very responsible girl in her late teens to house sit for us - she is well known in the area for doing a great job. There will only be the chooks, a few goats and hand watering the pot plants. She lives at home so loves getting away and having time to herself I think and is happy to just have the eggs as payment although I usually like to buy her a present as well.

If I wasn't working. I'd offer to house sit for you, done it many times & there's no way I could have the cat here with my dogs I really hope you find someone!

casowner Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Did he come from Bev? If you get stuck I could probably take him in but I do have another cat. No dogs but the most scary is a cat obsessed 9 year old son who would probably claw your eyes out when it was time to take him home, I also have an any animal in general obsessed 13 month old son Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
