We're leaving the Connecticut winters behind (which I will miss, but the wife won't, with her tropical ass). We're down there 6 times a year anyways as the wife is a Disney nut (and I secretly am becoming one - don't tell her). We have 4 resident cats and they are our only unknowns for the move. We are going to land in either Winter Park, Windermere, Doctor Phillips - whichever area has the house we fall in love with. So here are our questions that Google can't answer for us honestly...
• Is there a cat only vet in the area? We currently use Aristokatz in our hometown of Fairfield, CT and we could not be happier. However, our vet declined our offer to move down there 😄. Who is the most trusted and competent vet for cats (cats only or not)?
• Are there any trusted cat sitters? No one to stay at the house, but to come by once or twice a day to feed them, play with them, and check on the litter robots? Not looking for a service, but a few individual people that do it as a business or side hustle.
• All 4 cats are indoor cats, but we want them to have a little outdoor time in our backyard. It will be fenced in and safe for cats. They will also be supervised when let out. But, do we have to worry about any environmental issues? Even if the place is secured and fenced in, are there risks of them becoming alligator poop?
• Lastly - any advice for getting them down there? We each can take a single cat on the plane (it's only a 2 hour flight) meaning we would have to take 2 trips each as we don't want them to be confined in a crate for a 24 hour drive. Is there a trusted service that can transport them for us?
Obligatory cat tax - thank you in advance for the advice.
