Oscar is channeling thoughts of summer swims 🌊 despite the cold weather we've been having lately!

Obsessed with Quincy and those round cheeks 🍎

Ralphy's favourite spot is always on a window sill. If ever I shut the blinds at night, he finds a way to get around them and I'll find him hidden on the sill in the morning 😂🌄🪟

💓💓 Those hot water bottle feels 💓💓

Yes that's the bed on its side 😂. We've had to ditch the furniture this stay and keep everything at ground level to avoid any falls 🫶

What do you do when you have a sweet older girl who is scared of the ceiling light? (Yes, you heard me 😂). Well, you set up a lamp 🛋 for her, obviously 🫶

JJ was unsure about our taste in light fixtures and decided under the bed was the safest place to be, but she's turned into a purry, confident little miss since we changed up her room decor and have left the light off for good 🖤🤍

Cats... just when you think you have them all figured out 😹😻

I'm a little bit in love with you Ziggy. Only been here 2 hours and you're already making biscuits 🥰🥰

Sweet little Bumble 🐈‍⬛ has been here since Australia Day, and has another week still to go! Being the longest booking I've had so far, I was worried she'd be unhappy by now, being in one bedroom for 3 weeks.... but clearly she's in her element 😂🥰.

Cats have a lot of unspoken "rules" when it comes to setting up a space for them... they can become stressed by things we would never think of. Seems if you adhere to those rules, then they can be happy for long periods of time in a small space 😻😺

Things like:
- food and water spaced away from one another (despite double bowls being a popular product!)
- litter trays away from food and sleeping areas
- multiple litter trays to choose from
- multiple sleeping options (different types, heights, etc), as they like to rotate
- places to hide!
- windows to look out of
- scratching poles (even for oldies)
- pheromone sprays and wall diffusers 💕

Happy New Year to all my cat families! Hope 2024 brings you health and happiness 🥳🎉😻

Next up, we have Betty and Maisie, a pair of pretty little ladies who are real life sisters, and it took me the entire four days to be able to tell them apart!! I know someone LOVED to be brushed and someone was very keen on their food.... but either way, they were both very happy and got lots of cuddles 😂. I mean, how could you not fall in love with those faces....?🩷 Betty and Maisie are adored by their human parents, who brought lots of their favourite things to make them feel at home ☺️

16/12/2023

These two 🥰🥰.
Gem (the 18yo burmese) and Lloyd (my husband) have a special bond.... She doesn't mind pats from me, but she will ALWAYS get out of bed for Lloyd 😂😂. He calls her his little Werther's Original 🍬 😹
Thankfully for my ego, Nige loves us both 😘

12/12/2023

Gem and Nige are a cute older couple that are here every few weeks and we just love having them 🤎🩷. Such a pair of sweethearts! They both come with a long list of health needs and medication, but they cope so well being away from home (after a few traumatising experiences elsewhere 😥) that it has allowed their mum more freedom to go on holidays or away for work 😊

Remember handsome blue-eyed Ralphy? He stayed in October, which is his second stay for 2023. This time, he settled straight in like he'd never left!!! Such a happy boy, who barely stays still for a photo as he is so keen to roll over and have a pat 😂🥰

06/12/2023

Oops, I'm a bit behind on my posting! Let's kick it back off with cute little Coco who stayed for a weekend in October! She loved a lap cuddle 🤎🖤

Vet nurse boarding care 🏥🩺

This sweet angel, Arlo, recently moved to the Coffs area with his family and unfortunately found himself very unwell with tick paralysis 😿. After several days in hospital (coincidentally with me as his morning nurse!) Arlo was discharged home with a new funky summer 'do and some strict instructions for getting better.

His parents had planned to be away this weekend and weren't sure what to do or if they should cancel their plans, until a colleague suggested to try me for a last minute booking 💟

Arlo has been enjoying some restful naps, pats and frequent small meals. Stress and excitement makes tick paralysis worse (even in the recovery phase) so I love that Arlo is so relaxed and at home here 🥹

Oops, I've been a little quiet on here! But for an enjoyable reason - I've been busy fostering a beautiful mama cat and her three newborn kittens for the local RSPCA! Unfortunately I cannot share photos of them online, but they're now 4 weeks old and beginning to get up to delightful amounts of mischief 😼😻.

But I CAN share photos of my fave frequent flyers, Gem and Nige, who stayed again recently. When their Mum dropped them off, she referred to us as their second home 🥹 which made my heart happy. Enjoy these pics of them enjoying the spring sun ☀️

🐈‍⬛ Leo seriously gives the best cuddles 😻!!
My cat would never let me cradle her like this (but she IS a naughty tortie and I am merely her slave 😂).

🖤 I feel like black cats are the super snugglers! They always seem to like being up close to your face too.

Anybody else have a cuddly black cat?? 🐈‍⬛
