Kent based furry cat searching for Housesitters
Introduction
Runner lives in a hamlet and requires food, drink and some attention while his owners are on holiday. He is a former rescue cat who has been with us for almost 5 years. He came to us with an older cat, John, who sadly passed away recently from cancer. Runner has recently come out of his shell and while he is still extremely shy , he will be your best friend at mealtimes. He is curious about people and over time you can win his confidence.

It was a privilege to be able to stay in Karen and Niall's unique and wonderful home. You can walk and cycle straight from the door on numerous paths. It is a short drive or longer walk to some brilliant pubs and local shops. Further afield there are many historic sites including castles and National Trust properties and two coastlines to explore. We cycled from Reculver to Margate along the North Sea Wall and from Canterbury to Whitstable alone the disused Crab and Winkle railway. John and Runner are adorable and very easy to care for. John loves to snuggle up next to you on the sofa while Runner keeps a discreet distance. Karen and Niall are a lovely welcoming couple and gave us very clear and detailed instructions about the house and cats. We would love to come back again in the future.

Nial and Karen made us so welcome. On our initial visit For their first time using a sitter Niall wasn’t too sure. As we got the guided tour of the house I spotted a photo of Finton my daughter in law’s brother. With that the ice was truly broken as Finton is married to Nial’s sister! Coincidence or what, we were strangers found out we were related through marriage! We sat for them several times until I had to have a hip replacement. I am now fit and able again and look forward to anytime they ask us again to sit for them
