Cat B&B: Indoor Boarding for Cats Whilst You're Away

[M.Harper]

Hello fellow cat owners,

My partner and I are about to move into a 2 bed, 3 balcony flat in Deptford/Greenwich and have decided to offer a cat minding service. We came up with the idea whilst being between two properties ourselves last year with our own cat (who has now sadly passed) and faced the hard task of finding an affordable/suitable environment for him, we have previously used a 'cat b&b' which cost us an arm and a leg.

We will not be getting another cat of our own as we feel it's not fair without a garden, however we would enjoy looking after other's cats for short periods of time. We understand crossovers of different owner's cats may not be viable so would offer this on a first come first serve basis.

The flat is perfect for an indoor cat, it has two small balconies which have wooden slats from top to bottom which they could not escape from, the third balcony is a roof top balcony so access is prohibited. We also have a downstairs toilet which will be a litter tray room.

Both my partner and I are very fond of cats, we have just returned from Malaysia where we lived for two years and set up a similar cat-sitting service to expats in our area.

This would suit owners who:

- are having work done to their house which involves them having to leave home

- are going away and unable to find an in-house sitter

- cats are too young to be left alone

- in between homes

At this stage we are trying to gauge interest and potentially take some bookings as of end of March.

We will of course welcome you to meet us and view the flat.

My contact number is 07708 510 356.

Sounds like an excellent idea. Will keep your details if ever needed. Good luck with your new venture.
