Paarl
I'm going into inpatient treatment on Friday, for about 6 weeks, and I have no family nearby to look after Oscar, my two-year-old rescue cat. Oscar is calm and happy with a daily walk. I'm looking for a temporary foster within Paarl. I'll provide food, bedding and medication, and cover the vet costs. Oscar is vaccinated, neutered and microchipped. I'd love to share regular updates and photos, and I'd love to pay it forward by volunteering at the shelter when I'm better. Glad we found this place.
