Very unexpectedly, we are moving back to Ireland in September. They have very strict quarantine rules, which means that even though our lovely cat has a pet passport, she would have to go into quarantine for another 3 months when we arrive. Rather than do that, I want to bring her back in January 2012 when the Irish rules change in line with the rest of the EU.

I am wondering if anyone might be intersted in fostering or looking after her from start of September 2011 to start of January 2012, as I really don't like the idea of her going into a quarantine facility or cattery.

Her name is Bijou. She is a beautiful long-haired mongrel cat. She has a wonderful nature and is very relaxed - we have small children who can be rough sometimes and she's never once snarled or scratched. She is a little bit dim (!) and very lazy. She lies on her back like a dog to be scratched, and always finds the warmest parts of our flat - which often means the middle of the hallway where we tip-toe around her.

On the practical side - she's up to date with all her vaccinations; she's spayed, fully house trained (so can be an indoor or outdoor cat), 7 years old. We're based in Zurich.

If anyone out there is interested in fostering / caring for her, please could you PM me.
