    Description

    ***UPDATE January 9th 2026: All current vacancies filled, thanks for all the lovely messages, Arthur will endevour to respond to everyone in due course!***
    Hi!
    We are looking for someone (or couple) to care for my cat Arthur in the vibrant city of Sheffield while I am away. Arthur is a senior cat with no real health issues but just craves love and attention.

    Sheffield is a vibrant city in the north of England, with a deep and rich culture. The area I love in is fast developing into one of the most exciting urban areas of the UK with a multitude of new pubs, bars, cafes and other establishments popping up over the last few years (the secret is out and half of London's young population has moved up!).
    Sheffield itself is a post industrial city reinventing itself as a modern, dynamic economy with two highly-rated universities and a small but growing media sector. Amazingly, Sheffield also borders the beautiful national park 'Peak District' so you will be only a short train,bus, drive, cycle or walk away from an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

    The house is a long term renovation project. The long term plan is to thermally retrofit the house using sustainable materials, but this is a slow process given time and cost constraints. As such, the house is a bit rough but nonetheless habitable (my partner and I currently live here after all!). Part of the 'work' in this 'workaway' is to simply up with less than ideal, but perfectly livable, living conditions. It certainly doesn't bother Arthur! Prior to any engagement, we can take you through a video tour of the house so you can see the accommodation and make an informed choice.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Sheffield is a vibrant, cosmopolitan and welcoming city with a diverse mix of cultures. The city is reinventing itself following post-industrial decline (the steel industry) with the old culture mixing with a huge student and young professional population to create a modern dynamic environment. There are plenty of cultural events year round and you will be hard pressed to experience it all in your time here.

    Help

    We are looking for someone (or a couple) who love cats and could look after Arthur (big Ginger boy) while I am away. This would include feeding, watering, changing the litter box and most importantly, giving plenty of cuddles and affection.
    Arthur doesn't have any real medical issues but he is on a special diet of special biscuits which will be provided.
    Aside from that, your time will be yours to enjoy and potentially explore the city and surrounding areas.
