Any good cattery is full now for Christmas. Don't let that stop you going away. I look after pets in their own home, where they feel safest. I am experienced and trained in giving a variety of medications and have years of experience working in kennels and catteries.
I have a variety of toys that I can leave with your cats so they won't even notice you've gone. I pop in and feed, medicate, clean up after and of course play and cuddle them. I can also bring in mail and bins and water plants etc.

Hi I am looking for some connetrix construction toy parts to add to my little boys collection for Xmas. They don’t need to be in sets or complete. It looks like this kind of thing. Please let me know if you have any you would like to get rid of or sell.
Thanks in advance, Karen.
