Our home

Small two bedroom/one bathroom Queenslander with open plan lounge/dining room and kitchen area. Bathroom & kitchen recently refurbished. There is a small study area plus George has his own safe space/sleepout. Washing machine but no dryer as there is a laundrette down the street for those few rainy days when no outdoor drying. Suitable for one person or a couple, but not suitable for children as this would traumatise George.

favoriteWhat we love about our area

Friendly neighbourhood close to bus transport (to university & city). Local shops (cafe/coffee shop/deli corner store ) as well as launderette, barber shop & small beauty salon in street, 250 m walk.
Local supermarket is five minutes by car. Train station is a 15 minute walk or 5 minute drive.

Our pets

CatsCats (1)
George is an 18 month old ginger and white tabby that i adopted three months ago from AWLQ - where he had lived for over 100 days. He has gradually learnt to trust me and even sleeps on my bed. But he is very timid of others, and retreats to his safe space with visitors. Taking him to a cattery would retraumatise him which is why I am seeking a homesitter.
George is food-motivated and loves playing with me and his toys. He requires feeding morning and night, and his litterbox keeping clean. He is an indoor-only cat who loves to watch the birds flying around outside. He is a chatty cat - talks a lot when he decides it is time for some food!

Our garden

local_floristGarden or plant care

Minimal - Keep ginger plants, ferns and pot plants watered. I have a regular gardener to mow the grass and trim large shrubs/trees etc.
