Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Cat sitting group
| This Thread is a 'Sticky' thread acting as a central exchange for Cat Sitting |
Hello all
I'm not sure how this would work or if anyone would be interested but here goes......
I have 2 cats and I live on the southern end of the ladder. I would be more than happy to cat sit for others in the area and would love it if someone could return the favour for me from time to time.
I am CRB checked and have looked after animals, and cats, all my life. I also have family members and friends who are vets and vet nurses.
Would there be some way of making a little local cat sitting group?
Any ideas would be gratefully received.
Cheers!
Sally

Hi Jacqui we can help this Friday and Saturday. My partner works as a handyman locally on Fridays so he can pop in and we can both go Saturday and play with them as well as feed/water. Do you want to send me your number and we can talk on the phone. I feed Liz's cat when she goes away, and a few others through this site on occasion. Both Tigha and Justine on this thread know me as well. I have my own cat who I got from this site from Tigha's friend and I also help to rehome cats locally.

Hello! I think this is a great idea. My friend, who always takes care of my cats, is suddenly ill and I'm due to go away Tuesday!! Any recommendations in the Crouch End area? I'd be pleased to meet a local who I could trade kitty duties with.

Hi all,
I am looking for a catsitter for our two house cats from the 20th of Dec - 30th Dec. We live on a street off the Green Lanes end of St Anne's Road and just need someone to come in once every other day to feed and water the cats as well as change the litter. Am happy to return the favour in the new year!

I can recommend Vicky http://www.happydogsandcats.co.uk/pet-behaviour-services/cat-sitting/
She feeds a lot of cats on the ladder, have known her for years and she's excellent. She doesn't stay over.

Hi all
I've not joined this thread as usually I have neighbours helping out if I'm away from my 3 cats. My dilemma is I need to find them a temp place to stay either together or separately as we have to move out for a week or so while major repair is carried out. I'm wondering what are local catteries like (if any) and how expensive are they? Or are there any cat-lovers likely to offer a temp home with help with costs etc? I've never had to put any of my pets in a cattery so am reluctant to use one now, especially for my elderly cat, Chica, who might find it all too strange and scary. The other 2 are tougher more resilient brothers but still the thought of sticking them in a cattery too seems too much. Any ideas or suggestions much appreciated... Thanks!

Hi Suze. Maybe a local neighbour can provide a temporary home for a week - you would need someone without cats of their own. The only thing you need to be careful of - if they stay in someone else's home - is to make sure your cats don't go outside. I deal a lot with lost cats and cats often get lost if they stay in someone else's home as they manage to escape - the person looking after them leaves a window ajar or door open by mistake and the cat gets out and gets lost as it doesn't know where it is. (I expect your cats are already microchipped, but if not, it's best to get them chipped).
Like you, I've never had to use a cattery for my cats. However, the vet which I have used for years and rate highly is Village Vet. I know that they have a cattery, details here http://www.villagevetcattery.co.uk/
You're right, cats don't like being away from their own home! I'm sure either option will work as it's only for a week and then they'll be glad to be back home with you.
