F - Baylee a 13 ans. Très indépendante mais jamais très loin de nous. Elle avait une sœur qui a été tuée par une voiture en octobre 2020. Cela a été un drame pour nous tous. Baylee pleurait jour et nuit, cherchait sa sœur partout, l'attendait devant la chatière. Après 4 mois, nous avons décidé d'adopter un autre chat. Nous ne savons pas grand chose du passé de Chaya. Différentes histoires. Nous ne connaissons même pas son âge. Mais ce que nous savons avec certitude, c'est qu'elle est totalement traumatisée et qu'elle a une peur panique des humains. Elle ne sort pas. Nous avons sécurisé le balcon pour qu'elle puisse prendre l'air la nuit, quand elle ne se cache plus.

We secured the balcony so she can get fresh air at night, when she stop hidding.
D - Baylee ist 13 Jahre alt. Sehr unabhängig, aber immer „nicht weit“ von uns entfernt. Sie hatte eine Schwester, die im Oktober 2020 von einem Auto getötet wurde. Es war ein Drama für uns alle. Baylee weinte Tag und Nacht, suchte überall nach ihrer Schwester, wartete vor der Katzentür auf sie. Also haben wir uns nach 4 Monaten entschlossen, eine andere Katze zu adoptieren. Wir wissen nicht viel über Chayas Vergangenheit. Verschiedene Geschichten. Wir wissen nicht einmal ihr Alter. Was wir aber mit Sicherheit wissen ist, dass sie total traumatisiert ist und panische Angst vor Menschen hat. Sie geht nicht mehr raus. Wir haben den Balkon gesichert, damit sie nachts an die frische Luft kann, wenn sie sich nicht mehr versteckt.

Un couple au top, 2 chattes très mignonnes, une maison superbe et très bien placée. Sandrine et Jean-Philippe ont le sourire aussi grand que le coeur, c'était une magnifique rencontre. On espère avoir répondu à leurs attentes et y revenir pour passer un peu de temps avec eux tant le couple est absolument adorable.

It was a great pleasure to meet Sandrine and Jean-Philippe and spend some weeks with Baylee and Chaya in their comfortable, decorated and furnished with a great taste house. They are very welcoming, caring, generous and charming hosts. Sandrine and Jean-Philippe provided everything necessary and beyond for a pleasant stay. The area is a heaven of peace and multiple walking trails are just behind the house. Baylee and Chaya are very beautiful cat girls, very easy to take care of, they just need company and their daily habits to be respected. Both cat girls have the atypical and touching personalties. Baylee is a little guardian, always close and watchful, funny, entertaining and adores to play. She knows what she wants and she says it clearly. Chaya is a sweet shy darling. They have the best toys and the cat furniture, I have ever seen. I am very thankful to Sandrine and Jean-Philippe for their incredible generosity. Vi sees.

I had a wonderful stay at Sandy and JP's home in Embrach! From the very beginning, they were incredibly welcoming and made sure I had everything I needed. Their home is beautiful, comfortable, and located in a peaceful area, making my stay even more enjoyable. Taking care of their cats was an absolute pleasure—they are adorable, well-behaved, and full of personality. It was lovely to spend time with them, and I truly appreciated the trust Sandy and JP placed in me. Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and I would happily come back anytime. Thank you both for your kindness and hospitality!
