House with Sea views and a lovely looking cat, both need to be looked after.
Introduction
We are a retired professional couple who travel a lot and are very concerned with security. Previous to retirement we were employed in Policing and the Hospitality industry. We are very considerate and respectful of others in our peaceful and residential neighbourhood. We are non smokers. We have both been triple vaccinated and had a boosters. We both have a love of animals and have taken on previous rescues cats. We are looking for a cat lover to care for our most recent rescue cat.. He is a very beautiful looking cat ... Foxy. Sadly he has been badly abused and is very wary, particularly of feet and can not be picked up or handled. he only has three legs. He does allow the occasional scratch under his chin and behind his ear... on his terms. We also have a large pond containing 3 very large Koi and probably 100s of gold fish !!
Show more...Home & location
We have a large detached house in Portmellon, with balcony and a large enclosed and private garden, close to a beautiful beach and with views of the sea. It is about 3/4 mile from Mevagissey village, approx 3 miles from Heligan . Own transport is essential. We have an en suite guest bedroom,, on a different level from the main reception area.

We want someone to take great care of our very pretty but unpredictable cat He loves and needs to be around people, seeking some reassurance. However he does not like to be handled and does not cope well with children. We also have a numerous fish in a large outdoor fish pond, which need feeding during summer months and very warm winter days . Obviously it is also important to keep our home safe, well maintained and tidy.

Hazel and Geoff are wonderful hosts. Their house is beautiful, spacious and comfy. We were given really good, clear and detailed information on how to look after the gorgeous cat Foxy, the fish and the house. It is all very easy and rewarding. There is lots to see and do in the area; great walks, gardens, harbour town and beaches. We thoroughly recommend this sit.

Hazel and Geoff are such a lovely couple, they gave us such a warm welcome and cooked us a lovely meal the night we arrived. They have a beautiful, comfy home which was a delight to stay in. It is walking distance to the local beach and the wonderful south west coastal path. We were given a detailed welcome pack with information about the area and house, walking maps, top tips for restaurants and suggestions of places to visit to make us really feel at home. Foxy the cat is such a gorgeous fluffy little companion. He enjoys a head scratch and an occasional play with his toys, but is really an independent little guy who will find you out when he wants a bit of affection. He has got into a nice routine with Hazel and Geoff and is loving his new life with them. All he asks is that he can stick to his routine ( usually a little lap around the garden and an afternoon snooze) and he is very happy. We really look forward to returning to this sit and would highly recommended sitting for Hazel, Geoff and Foxy.

Hazel and Geoff were wonderful hosts. Good communication before, during, and after the sit. They prepared an excellent dinner for us and left us presents for Christmas! Their home is lovely and well situated for a walk into Mega. We found it easier to walk into town than drive. Check out the lights at night. Foxy was easy to care for, as were the fish. We let Foxy dictate when to get affection. By the time we left he was coming up to us for a scratch behind his left ear (just as Geoff said). We would welcome a return sit. Thanks, Hazel & Geoff

Hazel and Geoff had prepared an extensive and thorough hand over document before our arrival so our introduction to their beautiful house and the sweet Foxy cat was swiftly arranged. They kindly gave us dinner on our first evening and we had a cheerful evening talking and comparing holiday destinations! The sit went very smoothly and Foxy was very easy to look after, and soon became comfortable in our company. A very enjoyable and well organised sit. Thank you Hazel and Geoff!

Hazel and Geoff made us very welcome, cooking us a lovely dinner, when we arrived. They have a very comfortable home, with fabulous views from the lounge. You can walk, down the hill into Mevagissey. Foxy manages very well with 3 legs, he doesn't like too much fuss, just a little stroke, and be patient with him, until he gets to know you. He loves playing with his toys . Cornwall is a beautiful part of the country, and we enjoyed this sit.
