Even Italian petrol is appreciably cheaper than Switzerland
(There was no petrol available in Mulhouse for some reason)

Try googling something like -
"part load to Italy".
Throws up lots of options for getting quotes
I doubt whether many Italians would regularly feed a neighbours cat - they seem to have a different view on cats to Brits, in most cases.
You could try the expat forum(s) for your area - you might get an offer of help.
Good luck
If you are going back to the UK by ferry, you will have to quarantine on your return- only Eurotunnel travellers can avoid it, by non-stopping in France.
Although you can fill up with fuel etc in france, if you don't mix with others whilst you do.
I see that Ferry companies are complaining as only Eurotunnel users can avoid quarantine, and ferry users [even if they "non-stop"] have to quarantine.
We bought without a lawyer - following very very strong advice from our Italian friends.
My advice is that it's much more important to have a good translator present at the signing.
Austria ( and Croatia) on the England quarantine list.
Switzerland on the Scottish quarantine list
If they have tastes like mice, milk chocolate is a fantastically effective bait
I don't think you necessarily need to non-stop through France on the way to italy, only on the way back to the UK to avoid quarantine.
Don't think there are any restrictions on entry into italy from France or Switzerland

If things stay as they are now, you can avoid quarantine by staying out of France. If you drive from Switzerland into Germany, and up to Aachen on the German/Belgium border. From there it is less than 4 hrs non-stop drive to Calais across Belgium. By non-stopping, you don't have to quarantine on your return. It only adds about 2 hrs to the total journey time, and about 120 miles to the overall distance.i
