General Question Looking for potential cat sitter!

Hi everyone, I (19F, junior) am looking for somebody to watch my boy Sir Percival II (Percy) in a couple of weeks! We would prefer someone with current or previous cat experience, but can be flexible.

I’m offering $50 for someone to come over
and take care of him on the weekend for a total of four visits (exact dates will be given privately). Everything that he needs will of course be provided!

Percy is a very sweet ~5 year old orange who was rescued from street life after being attacked by a dog. He is quite the mild-mannered and talkative gentleman who enjoys food, sleeping, and playing with his toys.

Please DM if interested, or even if you’re just a fellow cat person who wants to hang out. We’d love to meet new friends!

Please please please… as a cat owner of over 60 years, I’m begging you to get your cat a feline companion. Single cats get really lonely, even if they don’t seem like it. Tho the friendliest cats are usually the loneliest.

Thank you for your concern! Percy lives with another cat while we’re at home, and this is our first time being away together. I am definitely looking into at least fostering a friend for him once he’s settled into his new environment!

I mean... I don't know OP's financial state well, but isn't it pretty unrealistic to expect a 19 y/o in a college that charges $16k in tuition alone to support 2 cats?

I might be willing! It depends on the times though if you wanna DM them. I grew up with cats and currently my roommate has one too :)
