Amanda

Responsible, honest, non-intrusive, clean and tidy. Non smoker. Own transport (within Tasmania).

Currently available for 'short sits', roughly 1-3 hours travel from Pontville (possibly closer/further please ask). Potential interstate.

Work part-time Mon-Wed, with a 'work from home' option if the internet is sufficiently reliable (within Tasmania),

Roughly 7 years experience as a feline foster carer.

For kittens this includes raising litters often when 'cat flu' is knocking them around, either with their Mum or where they have started eating by themselves/with a syringe . Because of my work pattern I have been able to 'de-hiss' quite a few 'spicy' kittens' where their 'socialisation window' was close to or had ended.

I have hosted adult cats that need to recover from surgery/illness, provide support/care with adjustment to changes in their living situation including permanent separation from an owner, or needing help with behaviours like litter training for potential adoption.

I have experience getting meds into cats aside from injections. Each cat is different, so happy to discuss individual needs and possible strategies.

Can also 'basic canine' and seem to do OK here. Particularly with 'people orientated' dogs, who want to be buddies and go walking/curl up together,

Meds seem to be easier to convince dogs to take, so OK there too.

I am fairly active but quite 'chunky', so have been able to walk larger dogs that are otherwise well behaved but might 'pull' sustainedly.

Can also manage birds, fish and other 'beasties', providing its not too complex. Willing to have a go at most things. Except for horses where my skills are too rusty.

I can keep plants watered (inside/outside) and can do basic gardening/household tasks to keep your place running 'day-to-day'.

Please feel free to get in touch if you think we are a 'good fit'. I would love to hear from you and am happy to answer relevant questions.
