Damascus Cats

Luxury feline holiday accomodation

“The leaves are falling, the summer’s gone….”

Posted by estelle On May - 7 - 2012 Posted under - Uncategorized

I’m sitting under my beautiful tree with my kitty houses all around me……it is indescribably beautiful! This year I’ve decided not to rake up the fallen leaves so the garden has this crispy golden blanket – the cats totally love it!

I am happy to say Damascus has been buzzing with guests – all have gone home now (I’m most thankful that everyone came home safely from their holidays) and things have quietened down again.
Right now I am busy making extra blankets for the coming winter so there will be no cold guests at Damascus!

Have a wonderful May my furry angels…….if you need somewhere safe and warm to stay whilst your humans are away, just give me a call!

Blessings, purrs and hugs…….

Estelle

And all the chocolate bunnies came hop hop hopping along…….

May you have a wonderful Easter weekend!
Whether you are resting, worshipping, holidaying or partying; please be safe!

Simply enormous hugs, many blessings to you all!

(Go easy on the chocolate coated fish!)

Mmmmmm……..Autumn :)

Hello again my four legged angels……and your oh, so lucky two legged owners!

Can you believe the summer is leaving us? So soon!
On the other hand, although the days around the pool are nearly over, Autumn comes with treasures all it’s own!
Golden leaves, crispy fresh mornings, wonderful walks……….and the joy of rediscovering hot chocolate :)
Easter is upon us so please, don’t forget to make those bookings for the feline royalty in your life! They will while away the days in comfort whilst you are on holiday……..(We may even save some hot chocolate for you! :)

Until next time; enjoy those walks and treasure each moment with your special kitty children!

Blessings, purrs and hugs,

Estelle

Just kidding…..really! After this wonderful Christmas I will be eating water for the next few months…….sigh!!!!

I have to thank all the lovely people who entrusted their fuzzy children to my care this festive season…..I made so many stunning new friends! (Mishka and Bandit and Gizmo and Lexie and Dante and Husani and McLovin and Vixie and Purdy and Minnie and Piglet and Chox and so very many more!!!)
Of course now everyone is going home so every day I have to say goodbye to someone special! :(
Never mind though – I know many of them will be back soon……..which brings us all the way back to Easter eggs!

Sweeties……believe it or not……Easter is about 30 seconds away!!!! Truly!
So pleasepleaseplease call and book a house for your kitty children now! I can not tell you how many people leave these things to the last minute and it breaks my heart to say “I’m sorry but I’m fully booked!”
So please call me and make a booking for that very special furry child in your life!

Now I simply have to take the Christmas tree down …I really don’t want to though. I wonder if I could decorate it with eggs and bunnies!?

Bless you all my darlings!
Purrs and hugs,
Estelle

Meeeeeooowry Christmas!!!!!

Little kitty Cottonsox
Sat beneath the tree
Looking at the pressies bright
Lovely as can be!

Some were round and very fat
Fishy flakes maybe?
Or balls n bells n tangly wool
She’d have to wait and see…

Then to bed with blankets warm,
Dreamland here I come!
Santa’s nearly here my love,
Soon you’ll have such fun!

Well my dears, Christmas is nearly upon us! Where did the year go!? (The Bermuda triangle no doubt!)

Damascus is buzzing (purring?)with happy furry little people and I would like to say thank you to my wonderful clients…….not just for placing your precious pets in my care, but for loving them and taking the time to ensure their well being before you all go on holiday.
With so many abandoned pets each year, it is heartening to meet people who truly love and care about animals.

Now……bless you all, have amazing holidays and above all……..come home safe!

Warmest hugs and many blessings,
Estelle

Don’t you just love that song!? Ella Fitzgerald was surely an angel!
And summertime it surely is my darlings……..Damascus is lush and green and the scent of roses and catnip fills the air!

Right now we have a special guest – Mischief – she is a sweety who was unfortunately hit by a car :(
Her hip was dislocated but all is now fine and she is with us to convalesce in safety and decadent luxury :)

Our December bookings are hotting up but there is still room at the inn! So please kitty parents – call now to secure a place for the special feline in your life! (082 333 2064!)

Take care my furry honey-buns…….and remember humans……we are surely blessed by the gift of our four legged friends!

Be safe out there and don’t forget the sun screen :)

Many blessings and catnip hugs,

Estelle

Spring is about to sproing!

Posted by estelle On August - 28 - 2011 Posted under - Uncategorized

Warmest greetings to all!

My friends, Spring is nearly sprung! What a wonderful thought…buds and new shoots and fresh green grass…….rain drops and the rich smell of freshly turned earth!
It’s good to be alive indeed!

Summer is on the way and that means so is Christmas – unbelievable how quickly the year has gone!
Christmas means holidays and glorious days in the sun…….so while you are busy planning please don’t forget holiday plans for your furry children…. contact me to ensure your darlings have a safe place to stay whilst you are away.

Keep safe and remember, the long, hot summer is on it’s way!

Blessings and hugs to all…..

MeeeeeeWOW!!

Prrrrr – sorry – BRRRR! where’s Summer!?

Posted by estelle On July - 4 - 2011 Posted under - Uncategorized

A warm greeting to all on this oh so cold day!
Hopefully everyone is keeping warm (that’s what makes Kitties so superior – superb fur coats! :) )

This is just a quick up-date with what’s been happening at Damascus……
We have had some very happy guests who have gone home looking and feeling very rested and relaxed …… And our latest make-over customer (Axel) went home looking like a movie star!
Axel is a divine Persian with a passion for gardening! When he came to me he was wearing most of his garden in his fur :)

Remember we are here to love and care for your four-legged treasure no matter what the circumstances.
Home renovation, fumigation, holiday, party…… Whatever the reason you need a safe place for the family feline, we can help!

Keep safe ….. Keep warm and keep on purring!
Blessings and hugs

Estelle

cozy home away from home….

Posted by estelle On April - 15 - 2011 Posted under - Uncategorized

The accommodation we offer for your feline friend is not just comfy-it’s the last word in kitty indulgence!
Each chalet can house up to 4 cats (for those of you with inseparable buddies); should your prima donna prefer to be alone he/she will have plenty of breathing room!
The chalets each have their own garden and potted catnip plants – there are toys, trees and soft lawn.
Add daily grooming and treats (besides the plentiful meals) and you have cat paradise.

RATES
Accommodation is charged at a daily rate of R50 per pet. The price includes all meals and grooming. We only use the highest quality products and food recommended by our on-call vet. (Should you wish to specify the food given to your cat that is no problem and will be done at no extra cost).
Our R50 per pet per day rate is applicable throughout the year…even over peak seasons.
All monies are payable in advance on the day you deliver your pets into our care.
