Pussy problems

[Str8 Jacket]

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

LMAO! Shes a buggar, I got home the other night and she had managed to open the cupboard door to where her Biscuits are kept, luckily the bag was done up but she'd had a bloody good go getting into the box of Friskies that I have stored as "emergency" feed. Maybe I should just put a month worth of food in the cupboard and leave her too it, lol!

Well, you could just flag your holidays and i'll bring my cat over to stay with you. Sorted! Cheers

EDIT- I probably havent rung ALL the Catterys so you could always try as well. Just make sure you tell me if theres anywhere available please!

Student Job Search - possibly to find a student to come and feed her over that period.
Or try the local vets to see if they know anyone who can come and feed her.

Hey, thats a great idea! Thanks

I'm pretty sure there is a crowd in Wellington who do cat sitting - they come around, feed your cat, clear your mail, all sorts of stuff. Otherwise, get a friend in to stay while you're away - keeps the house safe too. Catteries are often booked out a year in advance by regulars.

You havent got a neighbour to feed the cat for you? I'm looking after my neighbours cat, kittens, rabbits and dog atm, the dog's run away.. not sure what I am going to do.

Where do you live? I have an acquaintence who feeds cats over the holiday season. I had this plonker of a flatmate who went away for a long weekend - and I was away as well but happened to return a day early - despite getting a cat cage for him to take puss away - he filled up a roasting dish of biscuits and meat - for the whole weekend. We did not have a cat door!! There was shit from arsehole to breakfast time throughout the house. I walked in, dry wretched and had to stay outside until a girlfriend cleaned it up.

The intellectually handicaped omeba of a male couldn;t understand why I nutted off at him! Jeez the poor cat's arse would have been on fire. It totally astounded me that anyone could be so thick and cruel.

Anyway I have a 10 month old ginger cat and I gotta get him neutered - well I will get a male friend to take him - never let it be said I desexed a male!! lol How much will this cost? I couldn;t get thru to SPCA just now.

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.

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...
