About
Sit in Altona for 2 cats
I live in a spacious 3 bedroom unit in Altona. Less than 5 minutes walk to the beach, or about 10-15 to the pier, shops and train station. It's very quiet with a courtyard to sit in the sun. The sitter will have their own bedroom and bathroom and access to a modern kitchen and lounge area.
I've got two cats who are both getting on a bit. Bricks is 11 and Boots is 15. They are both very sooky and cuddly, although Boots takes a little while to get to know new people.
They are both house trained, toilet outside and have no medication needs or anything else. The sit would involve:
- keeping kibble bowls topped up
- giving Bricks some wet food at night - will let you know if you have forgotten or are 1 minute late - he's the food driven one ;)
- keep water topped up.
- belly rubs and ear scratched.
Let me know if you're interested and could arrange a meet and greet.
Pets & farm animals
Boots: The handsome tuxedo elderly gentleman. He's generally a bit anxious, especially around new people but has really come out of his shell over the past few years. Once he gets to know you he is super affectionate and just a sweet boy who loved a cuddle:)
Bricks: Is very sociable, adventurous and easily bribed with food.... apparently I don't feed him ;) Easy going and sometimes tries to be the boss of his brother but usually boots quietly pushes himself to the front. Loves belly rubs and snuggling on the couch.
Note, I also have a 2 year old dog as per some of the folders but she is coming away with me.
