Help finding someone to look after my friends cat while they look for a new home

[mof]

My friend is going to have to move out without much notice into a new accomadation where she can't bring her cat.

She's hoping to find someone who can look after her cat until she can move to somewhere that allows pets.

Hopefully we will find someone who is able to look after the cat for a while.

Are there any organisations or groups who might be able to look after her cat temporarily and then let her take the cat home again?

Unfortunately we don't how long it will be before she will be in a position to take the cat home again.

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

No friend that can look after the cat? Why can't you look after it?

I don't think you'll find anyone that will board a cat indefinitely other than a friend.

Posting anything to do with cats is usually reserved for my local facebook groups. I usually have to scroll past at least 1 lost cat post a day to get to the real content of parking disputes and barking dogs.

A friend of mine used to do parrot fostering. I'm sure there must be a service like that for cats.

Firstly you need to look locally and that would mean Facebook groups, most likely.
Ring a local Vets for advice.
Ring the most local to you, wherever that may be, cat/dog shelter, even if its battersea or something MILES away.
They might have contacts.
I'm more than willing to look after the cat but i live 1500KM from London so i dunno if that helps?

Yeah why cant you take the cat seems easy and obvious.

We have a friend who fosters cats so there are people out there. Try contacting a local cat rescue for advice. The indefinite part is unfortunately where she is going to have problems though. Maybe better luck contacting family and friends to see if anyone can take the cat.

My friend couldn't find any single flat in London at her budget that accepted cats, but when she looked for two beds there were many options. She ended up moving in with a friend, plus cat. Plus running and rent costs were lower.

if she is renting didn't they bring in something last year that meant landlords couldn't refuse occupants with pets ?

Landlords can still refuse pets, although the tenant can dispute it in certain cases.

Cattery is the obvious one, or your friend's mum (and dad) they're usually first in line for being volunteered for child pet minding services

You should share your time machine with us so we can all go back to the 80's
