OH MY GOODNESS. We are going away camping over easter and the person we had to "cat sit" for us is no longer available. Unfortunately, the cattery we have used in the past (that is GREAT, indoors, set up like a cave, separate areas for the cats, large space, toys, cat climbers, climate controlled, music piped through and a water fountain they have access to one at a time throughout the day) is booked out!
So we went and viewed about 8 other catteries today and they were DISGUSTING. I wouldn't want feral cats even to live there. They were hot (tin shed type areas in the sun), smelly, small, dirty and disgusting.
We really don't know what we're going to do now. We may have to just leave them at home and ask the next door neighbours to feed them twice a day (although we dont know the neighbours that well), or see if we can get my sister to come over once a day (she lives a decent way away from us though).
GRRRR - I don't understand why there aren't more businesses set up to cater for cats like this. Some of them were even called things like "home away from home", "angel retreat" and "pampered pets" YEH RIGHT!!!!
