  Description

  Hello!
  
  I am looking for someone to look after my two rescue cats, Cleo and Nibs. Cleo is from Thailand, and has lived with me in Singapore and Wales. Nibs is from Singapore and also moved with me to Wales. I am returning to live in Thailand at the end of July, and I am looking for someone to take care of the girls until they can join me in Thailand.
  
  Cleo is typically shy around new people, it takes her longer to feel comfortable around men, with this in mind, I would be hesitant to accept applications from men (unless we have a trial period first, where she can meet you and see if she is comfortable). She enjoys going for walks on the lead around the garden (she will let you know when she would like to go out!). Cleo also enjoys doing treat puzzles. Despite Nibs spending the first few years of her life feral and on the streets, she now loves attention! She will attach herself to you and speak to you throughout the day. She does not go out for walks as she does not like the harness (although she stares at us longingly from the window!). Nibs is asthmatic and I am currently working with my vet to figure out the best care plan for her, but this may require medication administration and to keep on eye on how frequent her attacks are. Nibs does not like to be picked up. Currently she is taking liquid steroids, and we are in training to see if she will accept/tolerate an inhaler.
  
  They are fed wet food twice a day (morning and evening) and sometimes have a little bit of dry food as a night time snack. They have a probiotic with both their wet food meals (1 sachet shared between the two). They have a water fountain, which just needs to be monitored to make sure there is enough water in, I may get a notification to pass onto you that it needs a new filter. They also have an auto-cleaning litter tray. You will need to empty the waste bin when it gets full, and top up the litter when it gets low. As they will be moving back to Asia with me, I am crate training them. This involves the crates always being accessible to them, and for them to go in them for short periods during the day, either being taken outside or put in the car and rewarded afterwards.
  
  My living arrangements are quite unique - I live on the same property as my mum, however she is in the house and I live in the converted garage opposite her! It's a lovely, bright, quiet space. There is so much to do in the area, there are a number of beaches within close proximity (3-5miles), plenty of walks and coastal paths, cute little welsh country villages to explore.
  
  Thank you for reading, and I look forward to receiving your application.

  Autres infos...

  Transport options are limited, therefore it would be great if you had your own vehicle. However, there is a bus that goes through the village, local taxi company and a local village shop that you can get your amenities at.
  
  The area is a great place to go on lots of walks, whether that be coastal or forestry. Bannau Brycheiniog National Park is approximately 90mins away, so walking in the mountains is definitely doable as a day trip.
  
  There is a local yoga studio in Cardgian (25mins), where there is also Theatre Mwldan which hosts lots of different events.
  
  Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is approximately 45minutes away, so there is plenty of opportunities to see lots of Wales during the sit.
  
  House Rules:
  No smoking or vaping.
  No heavily scented products (due to Nibs asthma)
  Please ensure the space is clean and tidy.
  Please thoroughly clean the bathroom on your last full day, and strip the bed and tidy up your bedroom the day you depart.
  Do not leave windows/doors open.
