Hi! I'm a PhD student living in Heidelberg. Back home, I have two beloved cats—a 16-year-old male and a 10-year-old female (a former stray, so her exact age is unknown). I miss them dearly but chose not to bring them with me as I didn’t want to put them through the stress of a long flight at their age. In addition to cats, I have years of experience caring for small pets like hamsters, geckos, and snakes. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy their companionship.
