cattery cost (per day/week,etc)

    We've left our 2 cats (10mths, 22months old) with the kind lady who had nursed and minded them after rescue before we got them.
    We've left them with her for a week and we supplied food.

    I've no idea what the average cost would have been if we took them to a cattery.
    I am thinking of giving the lady 100Eu for the week and we left it a bit open as to what we would give her for kindly taking the cats.
    She has a good number of other cats which she still keeps herself.

    I am just looking for a rough guidance on the cost of minding cats while owners are on vacation.

    Thanks!

    The cattery I use charges 10 euro a day and that includes food etc.

    €100 sounds fine. €8-10 per cat is normally the going rate and a bit less if they share so that seems reasonable to me.

    Belatedly from the OP ---> many thanks for those who replied.
    In the end , the lady took the 2 cats from Fri afternoon->following Sunday morning.

    Both cats got on great with her and they settled back better than ever with us.
    I gave her 120 Eu.
    She said it was way too much but was happy to take if I was happy with that amount.
    She offered to take them again.
    They (her and family) are real sweeties and love cats and pets.
    They take in rescue cats, I believe.

    She offered to take the cats again.
    I might do this.. although, I reckon I might get someone to stay in the house next time and feed/water/mind the cats as it can be a little bit of uphevil for them to go from one end of the county to the other.

    thanks for your kind posts folks!
