Im never at home ...

And yet getting a cat still seemed like a good idea at the time?

Well, I do go home everyday but I get up at 5.30 and get home around 5pm for dinner then I usually have other places to be most nights so Ive never really had the chance to say hi to my neighbours....

I have recently acquired a cat, she's great and all that but Ive just started trying to sort out my Xmas/New Years holiday plans and well I dont know what to do with her while I am away. I thought that seeing as its at least 12 weeks till I go away that I would have plenty of time to organise a Cattery for her, but I was wrong and all the decent ones are booked out. I bloody knew this would happen! Anyway I thought I'd see if anyone knows anyone that may know someone who owns a Cattery in Wgtn and may be able to "pull some strings" for me. Failing that im thinking that I may try and find someone to house sit for me. Im taking my holidays from 22nd Dec till 31 Jan and need to sort something out for most of that period. If anyone has any ideas or needs somewhere to stay in Wgtn or if anyone would want to come feed her during these dates could you let me know? Cheers in advance

I will come down and feed your cat, and while im at it I will glue all your furniture to the ceiling. Just for kicks

Hmm, I think that you'll be the one getting the kick mate!

Is Judgeford cattery completely booked out? We've put ours there and whilst it's basic, they are pretty good and not too dear.

There's one that we are booked into over Xmas for a month up in Te Horo which is simply lovely and not overly dear for what they offer - it's small tho so it might be booked out (it's called Mr White's Place).

You could also try a place called Marquis Cattery up in Paraparam - the lady who owns it is a bit odd, but she seems nice enough.

We've found we have to take a bit of a trek to get anything decent for a long stay. There are quite a few out the Kapiti Coast way.

oh the disappointment when I found out what this thread is really about...

Ah yes, yet another problem.... Getting the cat to the cattery, it needs to be one close to Wellys as I dont have a car (or car licence) and I really dont think that I want to tempt taking her on the bike... Cant drop her off on my way away as I will be on the bike too. *sigh*

. . . the lady who owns it is a bit odd . . .

And that's really saying something coming from someone who's "cat mad"!

Sweet, is there anything more you could tell me about these people? Im not really to keen on anyone staying at my flat, it would be a last resort really.

BMW- I live in Karori (south)....

Lissa- I have only met one of my neighbours and they will be going away. Im never at home so havent met any of the others...

We have a similar problem, but one we've found easy to fix. With three cats, 6 hens, 2 (and sometimes 3) horses and 9 sheep to look after when we go away, we just allow someone from out of area to have a free holiday in Central Otago at our house in return for caring for the animals.

So if anyone wants a Central Otago holiday in November this year just PM me.

Ive just had an idea (yes it hurt) has anyone heard of those electric cat feeders that you can set to give the cat xxx amount everyday? Where would I get one? If they even exist. Cause that would be alot easier!

Cats don't usually like being left alone for too long. Without someone visiting every day you may find your cat takes off and finds herself a new home, where there are people, even if there is food around.

Good point, but I am only thinking of this for a 3-4 day period over Xmas. I will be back home again for maybe a week or so before going away again. Damint why did I have to take her!

In Kandalah I think, is run by a little belgian girl, her hubby / partner rides old pommy bikes mention the bike thing and it may open a door (or cage)
