Needs and animals

2 Cats

Rupert is our handsome brown Suffolk cat with a calm, affectionate nature. He absolutely loves cuddles and will happily curl up beside you whenever he gets the chance. Rupert is gentle, laid-back, and enjoys the quieter things in life — a cosy spot, a warm lap, and keeping a watchful eye on everything going on around him. He has a sweet, reassuring presence and quickly wins people over with his loving personality.

Jory, our playful Cornish Rex, is full of character and never shy about making himself heard. He’s very vocal and loves “chatting” throughout the day, especially when he wants attention or food. Like Rupert, he adores cuddles and being close to people, but he also has a mischievous, energetic streak and is always curious about what’s happening. Jory is affectionate, entertaining, and brings a lot of fun and personality into the house.

Diet & Routine
Rupert and Jory are both fed a combination of dry and wet food. Their dry food is dispensed throughout the day via an automatic timer feeder, and they are given wet food once daily. Fresh water is always available.

Special Habits / Care Needs

House

Pier House is a charming detached waterfront home in Tarbert, full of character and warmth. This beautiful listed property combines traditional features with a cosy, welcoming feel, making it a lovely place to spend time and care for Rupert and Jory.

The house enjoys sea views and a peaceful setting right by the waterfront. Inside, there is a large comfortable living room, a separate dining room with a wood-burning stove and exposed stonework, a well-equipped kitchen, three bedrooms (two doubles and one single), a bathroom and an additional toilet.

The house has a calm, homely atmosphere with original character throughout, and is especially cosy in the evenings with the fire lit. It is very much a lived-in and loved home rather than a minimalist holiday property, and we are looking for someone who will enjoy and care for it in the same way while looking after the cats.

Tourism and Leisure

Tarbert is a picturesque harbour village on the west coast of Scotland, known for its beautiful scenery, friendly atmosphere and relaxed pace of life. Pier House is perfectly positioned on the waterfront, with the harbour, sea views, local cafés, restaurants and shops all within easy walking distance.

The area is ideal for anyone who enjoys coastal living, nature and the outdoors. There are lovely walks nearby, opportunities for wildlife spotting, and stunning views across Loch Fyne and the surrounding hills. Despite its peaceful setting, Tarbert has a lively community feel, especially during the summer months, with local events, seafood, music and sailing all forming part of village life.

It’s a wonderful place to slow down, enjoy cosy evenings by the fire, and experience a traditional Scottish harbour village while spending time with two affectionate cats.
