About

Greetings! We live in a renovated 15 square 2 bedroom 1 bathroom art deco home with a large backyard on a gorgeous tree-lined street in Heidelberg Heights (5 min walk to Bell St cafes, 7 min walk to Austin hospital, cafes & train). We have a coffee machine at home and there's also a lot of great coffee options within walking distance.

The sitter will be sleeping in a comfy queen bed located in the 2nd bedroom, next to the bathroom (large walk-in shower and toilet), and large open kitchen with stone bench-tops. There is separate dining and lounge rooms, and a colourful study room that soaks up the afternoon sun is located off the kitchen, opposite the laundry and back toilet. The home has front and rear decks, and an undercover outdoor area.

Let me introduce our beautiful family. We have 4 cats and they're our first cats and of course our babies:

Smooch & Pipsqueak (both 6yo females - we rescued the girls over 3 years ago. We believe they're sisters). The girls experienced some type of trauma before meeting us- they are frightened and untrustworthy of males/men in general;

Turbo & Bonbons (these brothers are both 5yo males - we've had Turbo since he was a kitten and Bonbons since he was around one years old).

Smooch (lighter tabby, female):
alpha, security cat, very intuitive, sweet-natured, confident, intelligent, very smoochy, bed cat, beautiful super smart girl!

Pipsqueak: (petite cat, darker tabby, female)
a super cute sensitive lil soul, mummy's girl, bit timid, likes her own space, also loves lap cuddles, we assume we're the first humans she's grown to trust

Turbo (smaller angora, male)
adorable, cheeky, bed cat who gets spoiled from everyone, he can forget to think at times haha for example he fell in the toilet once (long story but was a quick lesson for me- toilet seat down when not in use!), he tried to eat a burning candle once (another quick lesson- no candles in the home), he's been busted eating plastic a few times (another quick lesson- don't leave any type of plastic bags, cling wrap, or plastic packets around the house!), he's our little weirdo forever baby haha.

Bonbons (bigger angora, male)
adorable, biggest gentle giant you'll ever meet, however he can get overly excited when playing at times and then too boisterous and annoying to the others- he's a big boy with a big heart who doesn't realise his own weight haha

The cats require: being fed x2 times daily - small amounts of wet food and dry food is always available.
Daily clean water.
Kitty litter is cleaned twice daily.
Both toilet lids down at all times (because of our little weirdo Turbo haha). Also Turbo tends to eat plastic- please be careful not to leave any plastic lying around.
Indoor plants, outdoor pot plants and front garden beds require water.

A loving and compassionate female/lady pet-sitter who works from home or spends a lot of time at home would be ideal. House rules: no smoking indoors and no shoes inside (slippers are great- I have plenty of spares too). We expect our home to be kept and left in a similar condition to what we've provided.

Honestly, our home is one big love bubble! All of our cats have beautiful and unique personalities. We are incredibly blessed and confident that anyone who loves and appreciates cats, will really enjoy our little family and home. Oh yeah, the neighbourhood is very pretty- we love going for long walks or to the park. We also have the best neighbours- everyone is lovely, friendly and we look out for each other around here (tight-knit community).

Thank you and please don’t hesitate to make contact : - )

**Required dates for sitting: Thu 7 August - Sat 13 September.

Cheers and warmest regards
