Cat Sitting

Nas21 · #1 (**permalink**) 8th July 2008, 01:51 PM

Hi there fellow expatriates.

My name is Nasuha, from Singapore and my family just got a villa here in Palm Jumeirah. My Dad's working on a project here so the family's been spending most of their time in Dubai. Since I'm currently on summer holidays from uni in the UK, I decided to spend my free time with one of my greatest interests, and that is cats!

If anybody is intending to leave Dubai for a holiday or any other purposes, I'd be willing to "Cat-Sit" for as many months desired (since I'm on a really long holiday). I am very experienced with felines as I have three of my own back in Singapore. Futhermore, I've dealt with a few "Cat Sitting" occasions in the past, therefore I am able to handle situations such as diet requirements, sickness, etc.

If interested, or if you know anybody who is, feel free to let me know.

Thank you

What a nice offer! I dont have a cat but there are lots of places who are dedicated to helping cats across the UAE, in fact someone posted about it a while ago... You can volunteer for it if you like

Do you fancy a 2nd young cat? I know of a little boy who needs a new home. He went to friend of mine, but he is not really getting along with her young daughter and probably would be best with another young cat for company.

To Elphaba,

Oh dear, Im sorry to hear that. Well, I would be happy to have that cat, it's just that I don't think I can keep it permanently, due to travelling circumstances. The kitten I'm fostering now will only be under my care until someone is willing to adopt it. I guess I can do the same for this kitten if it's just for fostering.

You sweetheart. I will come back to you as I need to find a solution, even if just for the short-term. It takes a while to find permanent homes and if I do ask you to do this, I'd see to it that all your costs were covered and more.

Unfortunately I cannot take him back as my two cats really aren't keen on him. In fact my female cat has no maternal instinct whatsoever and hates him!

Thanks
xx

Perfect timing. I've just picked up an abandoned kitten that I'm nursing back to health with the aid of the Veterinary Hospital in Al Quoz, and I could use a sitter when I travel in July. I'm never gone more than 4-5 days. Please contact me if you have a chance.
