Are you renting and not supposed to have a cat? I can't imagine any other reason you aren't allowed to have someone come in for a short time a couple times a week

Get a pet sitter. Probably a vet tech at your vet’s office is also a sitter. For the length of time you’ll be away, I’d be more comfortable with a vet tech than a neighborhood kid.

Look for someone local who can reliably assist. Neighbors? Responsible teen children of a coworker? Local family member? Also check pet services like Fetch and ask at your vet’s office. Would not board a cat especially for so long.

This summer, though, we are away for three weeks. Will it be okay to leave a single cat alone (with daily 30-minute visits) for that long?
Wish I knew more cat people....
Where are you located?
See my post above this one, but the app Next Door is a great resource for this.

100% agree with everyone who said pay a neighborhood teen or ask a neighbor. Cats get seriously freaked out anywhere that's not their home territory, no matter how plush/lux it may be.
Not only that, but you'd have to deal with a few days of recovery after they come home, as they can get seriously traumatized from being boarded.
If you don't know anyone in your neighborhood, the app Next Door is FABULOUS for finding pet sitters, baby sitters, lost & found, buy & sell, keeping up with crime in your neighborhood, etc.
Plus, you get to find out who all of those strangers are that live in the houses around you, I think they're called... neighbors?
(seriously though, meeting neighbors has become increasingly difficult in this day & age).
I'd either do a search for pet sitters who have already posted their services, or make your own post indicating you're looking for a pet sitter for such & such dates & post the amount you'll pay by the day.

It's called Capital Kitty Cat Resort. Haven't used it though.
Anybody used it?
