Seeking a gentle and warm non smoker sitter for three boy cats, Ollie, 14, Alfie, 11, and George, 9.
Please note - is is important that you don't use any artificial fragrances, including perfume or cologne, as Ollie has asthma, and I am allergic to them, and will really suffer when I get home. I will provide shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, laundry detergent and so on, that you are welcome to use during your stay here.
The boys are indoor cats, but they have an enclosed catio that they like to go out in. This is the only outdoor space they are allowed to go in. You will need be very careful coming in or out the front door, as they can try to dash out the door. Please note also, it is very important that you are conscientious and close the door to the catio after they go out into the catio.
Ollie and George love to snuggle in bed, and Alfie loves to snuggle on the couch, and will also come for snuggles through the night most nights.
The boys all love treats, and George loves to play, and ideally, I can find someone who is happy to give him a little play time every day. He loves the toys on the rod.
Ollie has asthma, and is on oral medication (tablets) daily, that he gets at dinner time and is very easy to dose.
George has diabetes, and requires insulin injections every twelve hours using a special pen. It is also very easy to dose George if given to him while he is resting. It's a tiny needle that he doesn't even react to, and the pen's really easy to use - I can show you how to do it.
They have dry food out all the time, and they also have a breakfast and a dinner of wet food. They LOVE their breakfast and dinner!
You will be required to:
- give Ollie his medication every day at dinner time,
- give George his medication at twelve hour intervals, for example, 8am and 8pm. It is very important that this time interval is adhered to.
- tend to their litter trays twice a day,
- ensure they always have fresh water,
- ensure they always have access to biscuits
- give them a breakfast and a dinner of wet food every day,
- please send me photos of each of them every day,
- please update me if anything goes wrong (hopefully nothing does!)
Our home:
We live in a unit, with quiet, respectful and helpful neighbours.
The unit has hard floors in the lounge, and carpet in the bedrooms. I have a cordless vacuum you can use during your stay.
The kitchen is equipped with oven, stove, microwave, kettle, toaster and toaster oven, which is great for heating and crisping things up quickly. (I LOVE my toaster oven!)
I will leave a pantry stocked with staples for you, that you will be able to help yourself to, and a freezer with frozen meals that you are welcome to eat, as well as some tea :)
The laundry has a new Bosch washing machine, and I have four clothes drying racks you can use.
You will have my room, with a super comfy queen size bed, with electric blanket. There's blackout blinds on the windows - super great for a sleep in!
There is a gas heater in the lounge, two dehumidifiers, and two Dyson air purifiers.
We live in Brunswick West, near the Citylink. There is free off street parking, and a bus stop across the road, which will take you to either a tram or a train. It takes around 40 minutes to get to the CBD on public transport, and around 20 minutes driving.
This is a residential area, and there are some great cafes about a ten minute walk away - Lady Melville and Lolo and Wren do great breakfasts! There's also a really great fish and chip shop about ten minutes walk in the other direction (or a two minute drive).
Supermarkets are less than ten minutes away by car, and you can also walk there, or take public transport.
