ISO a temporary foster for my 6yo cat Spencer.
Due to personal reasons I am leaving the area and taking a job in Australia. While I am researching all possible options to take him with me as my job has said I can, it's nearly $4,000 and with leaving in 4 weeks it's just not looking likely.
Friends were going to be looking after him but that is now not an option. Ideally I will be able to move him within the next 6 months in which I will chat with you about arrangements getting him to the airport and vet appointments etc (he is insured and so I will cover anything that happens to him at all) BUT there is also taking his best interests into consideration. IF he settles perfectly with someone else and is happy then that is more important, he is a nervous soul to start.
So about Spencer:
- 6 yo wild rescue I've had since he was 6 months
- very shy to begin with but once he knows you he is the cuddliest creature you've ever met
- indoor/outdoor cat, he is definitely braver if he can go on adventures
- has lived with both a pug dog and another cat at different times and again is definitely braver with another animal around
- loves sleeping with you
- comes to call like a dog
- not bitey or scratchy
- not the best with kids as they are a little too erratic for him to settle around
If you or someone you know might be interested please message 02102929711 and we can talk a bit more about the situation. (If you have your own deadline or only staying in the area for less than a year then please dont offer just incase). "
Thank you
Kinds regards,
Stephanie

LOOKING FOR ACCOMMODATION
Kia ora! My name is Momoko. I'm 29 years old, originally from Japan and currently living in Sunshine Bay. I'm looking for accommodation in Glenorchy or nearby areas from mid January. I'd be happy with either a private room or a shared room, and I'm open to what feels like a good match. I'm planning to stay until end of May. During this time, I hope to experience what can only be found here and return to Japan with those experiences in my heart. I’m a quiet, respectful, and tidy person who loves nature, values a calm lifestyle, and always takes good care of the place I live in, and I’m currently looking for work in the wellness field. It you know of anything available, I would truly appreciate hearing from you. I'm happy to provide references if you needed. Wishing everyone a lovely holiday season and a peaceful New Year. Warm regards, Momoko Phone: 0273135252 Email : [email protected]
