Are There Plenty 1 year Rentals That Are Pet (cat) Friendly? Any kennels near airport?

[petal38]

Hi folks,

 

we are emigrating to Melbourne mid October this year, and plan to ship our pet cat of the last 7 years with us. He's a middle aged lad now and a house cat. We secured short-term accommodation last week for our first 5 weeks, and hope to find a 1 year rental during that time to start around mid/end November. Our short term rent isn't pet friendly, so during our first few weeks we are going to have to keep our cat in kennels somewhere (we are staying in Reservoir). He'll be in quarantine for his first 10 days anyway - does anyone happen to know if the quarantine station has longer term provision for animals to stay once they are out their quarantine period?

 

Are there a good number of rentals that accept pets? We'll be renting an unfurnished house, so it would be full of our own stuff rather than someone elses?

 

Any advice/guidance welcome!

 

Thanks!:wink:

If you have a look on the map you will see that Reservoir and the airport are not too far apart as the crow flies. If you google kennels near Melbourne airport you should easily find one in the northern part of Melbourne between you and the airport. The area around Greenvale and Bulla has a few kennels.

 

As for rentals, many will accept a cat. Almost all rentals are unfurnished so as you say it is less risk.

Yes, 2 of my rentals have tenants with cats, and we allow cats in our short-term rental too. Just ask the agent/landlord. If the agent says no, ask them to ask the Landlord.

Before we bought both rentals we lived in took our cat with no issues at all. Its standard here in QLD to just agree to having the place pest (flea) sprayed when you leave.
