I grew up surrounded by cats and, as my mum likes to tease me, she once caught me eating from my grandma’s cat’s bowl when I was three or four years old. I’ve loved cats ever since and enjoy getting to know their unique personalities. My own cat is a gentle, rather shy rescue cat who has taught me a lot about patience, trust, and respecting a cat’s individual pace. Some cats will greet you at the door, while others prefer to watch from a safe distance first — and I am happy to let them take the lead. I also volunteered at an animal shelter in Germany, where I helped care for cats of different ages, temperaments, and backgrounds. Whether your cat loves attention or values their independence, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
