Peace Paws Petsitting

Hi, here for an update! Still loving life in DaNang and taking a break for being traveling petsitters. It's been about 4 months of daily visits to Pizza. His little friend who we tentatively named Nadia (derived from garlic knot lol) was TERRIFIED of us for months, but we're making progress. Milestone that she let me pet her! We used to leave her food far away and she'd come and eat when the coast is clear, but now she approaches us.They are so sweet and playful together. He doesn't eat her food but sometimes he lets her eat his. What a gentleman! So now we're in love with two cats. We encountered more people in the neighborhood who know and care for him so that puts us at ease.

Lianne is booked for a repeat sit in Malaysia and very much looking forward to seeing the cheeky Finny and meeting his new siblings, a turtle and two hamsters!

Then we are open for catsitting in Chiang Mai from mid September to February. Looking forward to coming back. Get in touch!

It’s been a while since we’ve updated!

We're still visiting the stray cat we love every single day. It’s been over two months together. We are hopelessly in love with him. He has since shifted to another location down the road. He stays in the garden of a villa where some foreigners live. We spoke with them. They feed and care for him, but their landlord doesn’t allow pets either 😢

The other little cat (we call it his girlfriend) is also around most of the time. She is really afraid and we haven’t gotten close, but making progress as we lay food out and she eats it. I’m glad at least they have each other.

Every time we go to see him, we end up spending about an hour on the sidewalk cuddling and playing with him. We haven’t 100% decided on a name, but I think we’re close.

The name: Vincent Pizza 🍕

There are many layers why we came to this decision. Let me explain 😹 This is nerdy.

1. We thought of the name “Vin” because his coat and markings look like our Vinfast black and white scooter.

2. He has a marking of two “V”s on his head. I thought “Vy” would be a cute name as it’s Vietnamese (usually a female name). V is also relevant to me as a BTS fan 💜

3. We thought maybe Vincent or Vinnie from Vin.

When we were playing with him last night, we talked about popular food names for cats that happen to be Asian foods: Ramen, Kimchi, Tofu, Miso. They are cute and all, but they are ordinary foods in Japan and Korea.

I said it would be like naming a cat “Pizza” which sounds so funny. Adam lit up saying “YES. PIZZA IS THE PERFECT NAME”. I rolled over in laughter because imagine calling a cat PIZZA. Sorry that is so funny.

His rationale is that he LOVES pizza and he also LOVES this cat. His “V” markings also look like a triangle like a slice of pizza.

The pizza place that my family frequented where I grew up in New Jersey was called “Vinnie’s Pizza”. What are the odds? This is full circle.

So I think the universe spoke and his name should be Vinnie Pizza or Vincent Pizza. I will personally call him “V” and Adam will likely call him “Pizza”

Thank you for reading.

Meet my new friend, Slim! 🐾

He has the cutest seating positions and is so stretchy. He's an absolutely gorgeous, soft, playful cat. It took a day for him to warm up. I love how cats have boundaries and you have to earn their trust.

Enjoyed caring for this fella!

Note that our website has the most comprehensive information and references.

I've noticed some pet parents deleted their Facebook accounts or locked their profiles, so many reviews left on this page are hidden. Additionally, we have several years of experience of housesitting via the platform HouseCarers prior to creating this page so most reviews aren't even here.

In the meantime, here are some photos of cats we've been spending time with in Da Nang. ALL are adoptable sweethearts looking for loving homes!

Little Cat we Love!

He jumped onto the scooter as soon as pulling up as if saying "take me home'" 😭 We want to so badly.

The employees at the restaurant next door say he hangs around and they feed him. The warehouse also keeps a window open so he stays in there at night. Seems like he's being cared for by the community. We come by at night to feed, play, and cuddle.

No name yet, but considering naming him Vinnie or Vy since he looks like our Vinfast scooter. His face marking looks like a V. Vy is a popular Vietnamese name meaning small and precious and is primarily for females.

We love him very much!

Please send extra love and healing energy to Nern, aka Crinkles, one of our favorite kitties in the world.

She belongs to our good friend in Chiang Mai. We stay with him when we aren't housesitting. Nern always comes in our room for cuddles and warmth. She's lost a weight and energy over the years and has been diagnosed with FIV, which weakens the immune system like HIV/AIDS.

She is very loved and getting the care she needs. We miss her so much! Such a sweet, gentle beautiful soul 💜

Excited to have finished training at Paws for Compassion! This rescue shelter is super organized with dozens of volunteers keeping it going. The cats are well taken care of with individual attention and love. All of them are adoptable and looking for homes.

For a few hours a week, we will be taking on the therapy shift where we feed the 32 cats their lunch, play, and give some massages and range of motion exercises with the handicapped cats. We already learned most of their names and are falling in love with them! They all have unique personalities of course.

We're looking forward to getting to know the cats, but hope they all will get adopted to loving homes eventually. While we have experience caring for many kinds of cats of all ages, this is the first time caring for handicapped and blind cats. We've learned a lot and will continue to do so. This experience will help with our future petsits as well.

Please check out .vn to donate or inquire about adoption! We're impressed with the organization and passion from the volunteers we met so far.

UPDATE: I'm back! Not sure what happened, but it is a risk that we can get banned again. Please save our contact information in the meantime and follow on Instagram :)

Adam and I both got locked out of our Facebook accounts due to AI bots? Perhaps because we log in from different countries every few months? I can post this on IG to be automatically uploaded to Facebook, but I can't access the page nor receive messages.

In the meantime, please reach out to us at

Anyway here is the sweet little cat. He seems to be somewhat taken care of by people who work at the warehouse. The security guard said he was extremely frail when he first showed up, but now look at how healthy he looks! They also leave the window open so he can go in and out; I hope they leave him food and water. At least he doesn't have to be out in the rain. He still seems really hungry and starved for attention. We love him so much and feel better knowing he's being looked after 💜
