Hi! I've posted in Nabiya and on the pet sitter network on Facebook, but it seems like all offers have fallen through.

I just got a baybee kitten that's two months old from the pound and wouldn't you know my work is forcing me to go on an annual workshop for 3 days. I'd have to leave her THIS SUNDAY the 26th and pick her up on Wednesday the 29th late afternoon/dinner time-ish.

I just took her to the vet for her first visit & vaccination. She's really healthy now and very frisky. Is in training mode so trying to break her of thinking people hands are toys. Box trained - she had one adjustment issue on my bed, but that seems to be fixed now. She simply needs to be put in her box right after she eats a couple times, and I give her half a kitty treat after she's done her deed.

She's getting fed 3 times a day at this point, but it's flexible. Wear her out with toys and she's good for some nice petting & cuddling after. She's still in nursing mode, though, so you might want to protect your earlobes...

I will bring all supplies and can pay a small honorarium or return the favor. I live in Cheongpyeong, which is why it's so difficult for me to find a sitter. Was looking for a near-by sitter, but getting desperate at this point.

I think getting schooled by some older cats would be really good for her, actually...anyway, you can email me at sukioki@gmail.com if you can help out.

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!

Suki

Where is Cheongpyeong? I have tried to google map it but nothing pulls up. What big city are you near?

I have a few sitters in Daegu I can call on, but need to know how far you are...or if you are willing to travel that far.

Let us know more about where you are please :)

I live in Cheonan and could watch your kitty. It is easy to get here by train or bus.

I have two dogs, a cat and two once feral kittens that my social cat and I are working with so there are lots of others to show her how the bathroom rules go.

Hi!!!! <3<3<3

Cheongpyeong is halfway between Seoul (about an hour outside of) and Chuncheon, so far away from you both ㅜㅜ

I originally turned down someone in Incheon, thinking IT was too far, but it's shorter in comparison! I have a friend in Itaewon who would watch her, but because she had issues once she says she will lock her up by herself : (

It's about a 3 hour commute to Choenan, (which I'd probably mess up so add some inexperience time in there) and 4 hours to Daegu. What do you guys think? I DO like the idea of experienced cat people w/ other cats to be socialized with. Like I said, I'm desperate. I'm also having a Korean friend call and try and find out who her foster mom was before I got her, to see if she would board her for a few days, but haven't heard back from her yet.

Yikes! Only a few days before I have to go!!!! I feel so bad, because I've only had her for less than two weeks and hope this isn't traumatic. Your opinion is greatly valued.

Okay, contacted two people from your pet sitter board, and also another somebody from Pet Sitter's Network. haven't heard back from my friend who was going to talk to the Korean vet and foster mom.

I can travel a long time on Sunday, but am wondering if there will be enough time to pick her up on Wednesday after the conference is finished. Looking up bus information from those locations now...lots of transfers through Google, so am looking at some alternate routes via Chuncheon...

Thanks for all your help!
