It's certainly not a dog's life if you're a cat, especially when it comes to retirement. In more only-in-America news, Palm Meow has been set up "to provide high-quality care for your cat in a tropical south Florida setting whether it is for short/long-term boarding or for life-long care". "The happiness and welfare of your cat is our primary concern," the feline condo equivalent boasts.
The business involves pussy retirement planning - a new concept in lifelong care for cats after their owners are no longer able to provide for their beloved pets due to circumstances such as a nursing home placement or death. According to the company's website, www.palm-meow.com, cat retirement provides a beautiful home-like environment in which cats get lots of love and attention as they live out their final years after their owners are no longer able to care for them. Services provided include medication administration, individualised playtime, specialised diets, daily brushing and lots of love and attention. The business prides itself on offering individualised care for every cat.
Cats will be given access to a screen-enclosed area so they can watch butterflies and birds, enjoy the sunshine and relax in the beautiful south Florida tropical landscaping. Prices are upon application. EyeFA is sure savvy financial planners are rushing to offer the service as a value-add to clients . or perhaps not.
