3 Cats

My three cats are two Arabian Maus (Primo and Carlotta) that were rescued in Dubai and moved with me to Torrevieja and a local cat (Altea) that was rescued off the streets here a while back. The Arabian Maus are siblings and almost 7 years old adults now. The third is older (around 12 years) and is small in size but with a lot of (c)attitude. They are very friendly, they talk a lot and want a lot of attention. They eat wet food twice a day, morning and evening (and a snack at lunch) and have fresh water and dry food available throughout. They are generally free to roam as they please but regularly sleep inside, often in the bed :-) The two siblings have some disagreements thus having to keep them from meeting face to face. The third, Altea, needs a pill twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.

Apart from making sure they are fed and the litter box is cleaned once a day, it would be great with some pictures and perhaps a short video of them every other day.

For longer sits, the plants on the roof terrace need watering once or twice a week.

Additional information about these dates

I have now published this housesit with the original dates. I would prefer someone that can arrive a day or so early to let the cats have time to familiarize themselves with the person(s).

The apartment is in a small community called Arabia which has a Moorish theme. The community is located 50 meters from the sea. The apartment itself has two floors plus a large roof terrace with view of the sea. In addition there are three other terraces on either side of the apartment. There is a bedroom and bathroom on the first floor while the two bedroom on the top floor shares a bathroom. One of the bedrooms here has direct access to one of the terraces. From the front terrace there is a view of the quiet street that the community is served by and the sea across the road leading to downtown. Alexa (Amazon) can play any music you like and also help with other things, such as turning on and off lights and monitor the security cameras. There is fiber Internet with WiFi access throughout the apartment as well as a large screen flat TV. There is a dishwasher in the kitchen and a washing machine in the downstairs bathroom.

The building is on a quiet street, just off the road leading to the town center. The sea is across that road from the apartment. From the terrace at the entrance you can enjoy life passing by on the street below or enjoy the view of the sea through the palm leaves. A small grocery shop with all the basic stuff is just around the corner, 100 meters away. The bus stop is a 2 minute walk away, where buses can take you either to the center of town or to the most popular beach in the areas, La Mata. Walking to either takes about 15 minutes. There are a number of restaurants and pubs within 10 minutes walk from the apartment, including Scandinavian, Indian, British and Italian cuisines. Close by there is a commercial area with a shopping center, a hypermarket, many restaurants and a cinema which also shown original language movies.

Tourism and Leisure

The town of Torrevieja is a destination in itself and is just a short walk along the sea. Wander along the corniche through the town and stop at one of the many cafes or bars for something to drink, day and night. Further afield, a 10 minute drive, there is a water park (open during the season) and close by that again the Habaneras shopping center. The cities of Alicante and Cartagena can be reached in less than an hour by car, going North and South respectively. Both have long histories and pretty downtown areas with cafes, restaurants and bars. Further North there is Benidorm which also host a theme park, Terra Mitica. Between Torrevieja and Alicante, facing the sea, you find the cliffs of Santa Pola where you can visit the lighthouse that is perched on the edge, or the steel gangway that actually arches outside the cliff edge. In the same area you can hitch a ride with a tandem paraglider and see the cliffs and lighthouse from the ocean side.

We had the pleasure of catsitting for Alf for the second time, and it was again a wonderful experience! His three cats are a joy to care for, each with their own unique personality. Carlotta is actually shy but had already warmed up to us during our first visit, and this time we enjoyed even more cuddles with her. Primo is as adorable and funny as ever—his playful antics always kept us entertained. Altea, though older, is incredibly endearing and has such a sweet, gentle nature. The communication with Alf was excellent once again—clear, friendly, and effortless. We also love his home, its fantastic location, and the lovely neighborhood. It’s peaceful and welcoming, making it a very enjoyable place to stay. We’d be more than happy to come back anytime to help care for his fur babies again. Thank you, Alf, for trusting us with your wonderful cats!

We spent a wonderful month taking care of Altea, Carlotta, and Primo. It took a couple days for Carlotta to get use to us but after that we got a lot of cuddly times from all of them. All 3 of them are really endearing and we enjoyed their company a lot. Communication with Alf was quick and easy and every question we might have had was answered promptly. About the house it was really nice to be able to walk to the beach (and the churros truck ;)), enjoy the lovely restaurants and bars in the neighborhood or just make a picnic to enjoy by the cliffs just the other side of the road. It was a great pleasure to spend time with those 3 adorable felines and enjoy the spacious house and rooftop terrace. Thanks again Alf and we hope to see you and the kitties soon !
