Hello, my name is Emily and I am seeking a very gentle, sensitive, intuitive cat lover to potentially board my cat Sam for about 6 months. I am going through a mental illness crisis and have slowly declined in my ability to care for him and take care of myself. I have severe OCD and would be looking for someone to board him for a 6 month trial to see how I do, with the possibility of long term adoption by you if he is stable and happy there. He is my world and is very attached to me and has separation anxiety, and he has saved me from taking my life multiple times, so I would request during boarding that I be able to visit him at least 3x a week in your home, and if there is adoption in future, that it be open so I can continue to visit him 2x-3x weekly at least. Sam is a very cuddly boy, sleeps through the night, and has no behavioral issues, only that he is a very anxious cat. He is only cuddly with me, but if someone is really gentle and patient, he may warm to you. He prefers when someone lets him come to them, rather than someone walking up to him or petting him - let him come to you. Giving him Churu treats and wet food would be a potential way to get him to warm to you as well. He will hide for awhile, maybe months, until he's comfortable, he's the most anxious cat I've ever owned. If you take on the job, I will provide you with his medical history and current medical needs. (Dental, gabapentin needs, etc). I will be doing extensive interviews for this position and you will be compensated $500 per month for the 6 month trial period.
