2 cats need home for 6 months
Hi there
We are planning a 6 month trip around the world and have 2 very cute cats who, at the moment, we can't find a home for. We were wondering if there was some kindly soul - preferably in the south London area - who would be willing to look after them while we are away. We will of course meet all food, litter and vet costs and will also be happy to reciprocate if you need a holiday home for your cats. They are brother and sister - Oscar is all black and Edie is black with white bits. They are 4 years old. Hope to hear from somebody John |
John try posting in freeuk.pets.co.uk and I am sure there are other cat
websites that may be able to help you out. Many people may be put off as 6 months is a long time, and the cats will settle and bond with them, then they have to hand them back! :-( - Luv'n'Stuff *~*SooZy*~* New Pictures added every few days http://community.webshots.com/user/ragdollcatsuk "John Moran" wrote in message ...

... Geeze they don't plan on paying someone for boarding their cats. If they can afford to go around the world they could spring for boarding at a kennel. it would cost about £2,000 a lot of money, plus very unfair on the cats! |

Very helpful thank you
If I had wanted opinions on our plans I would have asked for them. In case you didn't know catteries are expensive and, more importantly, pretty grim for the animals. If I can find somebody willing to do it and reciprocate in kind then what the hell do you care? "Mogie" wrote in message ... Geeze they don't plan on paying someone for boarding their cats.

Hope to hear from somebody John John, You didn't ask for other suggestions, but this occurred to me: Would it be feasible to arrange for someone to stay in your house or apartment during the time you are gone in exchange for caring for your cats? Of course, you may already have made other arrangements for your home -- but if not, this could be a "good deal" all around. You would have someone to take care of your cats and would not have a vacant home for 6 months (which is sometimes an open invitation to burglars), the cats could stay in their own environment without having their lives disrupted, and the person who stays there could do so for minimal cost (utilities, etc.).

In case you didn't know catteries are expensive and, more importantly, pretty grim for the animals. In defence of some really great catteries I object to that statement.Have you actually *been* to any catteries? My nearest one is a veritable paradise for cats. Huge chalets and runs, an aviary in the centre to watch, the best of everything, heated, in the countryside, and an owner who is potty about cats and spends hours every day playing with her boarders. Music playing in the block too.If my cats went there, they would feel hard done by having to come back with me :0( Another aquaintance has a superb modern cattery struated in the middle of woodland, plenty of birds about, trees to watch, huge pens, heated etc. What is grim about either of them? I think you are motivated by cost here and nothing else. Your poor cats will get settled in with a new person in a new home, then when it is convenient to you, you want them back.
