27F looking for Manchester accommodation

Hello! My name is Izzy and I will be starting a PhD at Uni of Manchester in September this year after 5 years of working in industry as an engineer.
I am looking for pet friendly rentals in and around Manchester, preferably sharing with women/NB, but not a dealbreaker. I am into yoga, art, running and travelling and am ideally looking for sociable, mature students or professionals around my age to share accommodation with.

I require pet friendly as I have a black cat who is FIV+, so he must stay indoors and not go outside. He is very sweet, docile and loves cuddles! I will not be expecting potential flatmates or roommates to look after him as he is my responsibility but if you are a cat lover that will be a bonus point :)

I currently live in Bristol so will not be able to come to Manchester in person during the week, but happy to have video calls or drive up at the weekends to do viewings.
