    Does anyone have suggestions for good catteries in Melbourne? I’m still having health issues and wasn’t happy with the one Melbcat recently went to.

    Bonus points for fear free techniques, experience with older cats who have medical issues, cats who are stressed by other cats and especially ones that withdraw or soil in fear.

      Would a pet sitting service be more appropriate or less stressful for Melbcat? By pet sitting, I mean coming to Melbcat’s home to feed her and give pills etc.

        I hate removing her from her familiar environment but am not really on board with someone I don’t know entering my house, and don’t want her left alone a lot. Also her pills are every day at 6am and 6pm so not exactly convenient hours

      Cat shack in narre Warren. Used them a few times for my cats, including one timid kitty.

        How did your timid kitty go? Was she well cared for or kind of just ignored and left to hide?

          Timid kitty did well, they gradually built up trust and kitty came out of hiding.
