About Don

“If you are the type of owner who likes to spoil and pamper your Cats, then I am the Cat buddy for you!” 

Hi, I’m Don Welbourne, a retired Network Engineer who lives alone in a cozy 1 bedroom with a pet welcoming daybed in the living room set next to a large window. I have always loved animals and have never said “no” to a stray or friendly dog who would want a pet or to jump up on you for a good neck rub, Having the privilege of having both dogs and cats in my life, I miss having an animal to spoil and cuddle with. Unfortunately, I don’t have the financial security to offer a permanent home to a dog or cat. After my best buddy George died (a 200lbs 11-year-old Saint Bernard) and it broke my heart, I swore I’d never own another animal without having the finances to properly take care of it. Before my rescue of George from an animal shelter, I had “Godfather”, a 36 lbs. Maine coon cat who died of old age peacefully in my arms. My ex-wife and I were always taking in strays. I consider myself an amateur Chef and used to love cooking up fresh meals and treats for my animals. I will talk for hours with a pet and offer pets and scratches when wanted and for as long as they are wanted and will play with your pet when they are in the mood.

I have recently changed my profile to Cats only, because of my balance issues when walking dogs.

A few reasons your Cat would choose me..
* Treats twice a day, store bought or home made.
* Fresh litter checked or changed 3 times a day.
*A 24/7 dedicated Laptop featuring YouTube bird and rodent shows that I can bat at all I want.
*A comfy daybed facing a window and the laptop.
* A Gourmet meal (Don's cooking or my food) served at 6p.m. in a crystal bowl.
* Fresh water and dry food out 24/7 so I can help myself.
* Steel and wood furniture so I can scratch anywhere I want.
* lots of hiding spots to attack from or just be by myself.
*brushing and petting any time I want.
* Lots of toys (catnip based) But I only play with them for the exercise.
* The run of the whole apartment (no closed doors or forbidden places, No Cages!).
* lots of pictures and updates for my owner.
* a 3D printed toy of ME, for my owner to paint and disply for FREE!
* 10% Discount applied to all overnight stays.

Hope to hear from you, Don Welbourne.
