Cat lovers loving the easy life - this is the one for you.
Introduction
We are an active retired couple who would love to visit our human children while you look after our feline in the beautiful Bay of Islands in the Far North.

We have a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1 lounge home in a tranquil setting. You will have the guest room and own bathroom. The house is a virtual sun trap. However for the odd cold day here in the winterless North we have a heat pump for your convenience. There is ample parking outside for your vehicle and since it is at the bottom of a shared drive, it is quiet and peaceful. Our town is in the beautiful Bay of Islands and there are many beaches, walks, wineries, golf courses and historical places on our doorstep. For the keen fisher and golfer this is a great opportunity to hone their skills. We overlook the local golf club driving range. The town and many amenities, shops, medical centres, library, etc. are all within a 5 minute walk.

In the morning check her food and if necessary fill up the bowls. She has both wet and dry food. Chicken is her favourite. She likes to go out first thing in the morning. She often stays away for about 2-3 hours at a time during the day and then rushes back for a snack and to check if someone is home. This is her daily pattern. Her favourite spots are in the grasses in front of our neighbours. We often go out during the day and she’s perfectly fine. There is a cat flap linked to a chip implant in her neck. At night when she comes in we close it so she doesn’t go out again. This is for her safety to ensure that she doesn't get into squabbles with other cats. She usually has a good feed then and settles down in the lounge with us. If you can make sure that she’s snug in her blankie on the couch she’ll stay there for most of the night. Some nights she gets onto the bed as soon as we’re settled. She usually sleeps on the duvet but some early mornings she’ll come to the top and ‘ask’ to get under the covers. We will arrange for someone to mow the lawn and since it's winter and not too hot, watering of the the bulbs and some plants in ornamental pots outside, will be minimal. Inside the house we have 2 plants and one on the deck.

We had a wonderful time looking after Princess Lily! After reminding herself who we were (having looked after her previously)she soon settled into her routine of food, treats, exploring outdoors and cuddling in bed with us. She quickly trained us to brush her, open the treat cupboard or play with her in her cat tunnels on demand! Pam and Piet were very welcoming and friendly, we had clear instructions for caring for Lily and the home. The house is modern, comfortable and sunny, and located right in the heart of Kerikeri. A highly recommended sit, and we hope to care for Lily again x
