Needs and animals

Animals with specific needs | 2 Cats

We adopted Sesam and Chia as adults, so they are initially cautious around new people. Usually, after a day or so, they start feeling more comfortable and begin to explore.

Sesam (our tabby cat) needs half a pill every morning. It’s a very simple task: you can easily give it to her on a spoon with a bit of the wet food she loves.

Our main priority is that they are fed daily, have a clean litter box, and fresh water. Most importantly, we want them to feel that someone is home. Interacting with them using treats or toys is ideal, as I mentioned, they just need a little time to trust someone new 😊

House

Our apartment is very centrally located, and the neighborhood is quiet and safe. We are just a 10-minute walk from the train station (and only a 4-minute walk to the nearest S-Bahn stop).
The apartment is 70 square meters and features one bedroom, a bathroom, and two small balconies. It has a spacious kitchen and a very cozy, comfortable living room. If you stay with us, you are welcome to use our bedroom, which has a very comfortable king-size bed (1.80m x 2.00m). In the living room, we have a modular sofa that converts into a large bed.
We also have bicycles available if you need one, and it is usually quite easy to find free parking in the neighborhood.

Isaura and Sylvan are wonderful! They are very welcoming, open, and very friendly. Their apartment is a reflection of their personality—harmonious, creative, cozy, and filled with greenery. At first, Sesame and Chia, the cats, were cautious, preferring their distance, but they studied us carefully. But gradually, through conversation and kind words, their connection warmed up, and we were surrounded by clouds of Sesame's sweet purring. We definitely recommend this living arrangement for the perfect combination of everything: wonderful hosts, charming cats, a cozy apartment in a convenient location. And of course, the region of Germany itself offers the opportunity to trek through the Black Forest, visit Strasbourg and the wine road, visit the Therme spa, all within walking distance. And also the city's main castle with a huge park, where you feel surrounded by nature even without leaving the city. Thank you so much, guys! It was amazing.

I had a lovely stay at Isaura and Silvan's and would happily recommend this sit. They are incredibly kind, considerate hosts who clearly adore their cats and take great care of them. Communication was easy throughout, and they made me feel very welcome from the start. The apartment is clean, spacious, comfortable, and full of charm. I especially loved the balcony with its strawberry plants! The location is excellent as well, close to the main station, shops, the zoo park, and within easy walking distance of Karlsruhe's city center and castle. And then there are the cats! Chia was an absolute delight. Her adorable habit of headbutting the human who provides treats quickly became one of the highlights of my day. Sesam is clearly the ruler of the household, but beneath that regal exterior is a cat who enjoys being petted for a very long time and rewards you with wonderfully loud, happy purrs. Although it was a short stay, it was a truly enjoyable one.

It was an absolute pleasure to spend two weeks caring for Chia and Sesam. We were greeted warmly by Isaura and Silvan on our arrival and had a great evening with them around a nice meal, hearing about their interesting international adventures. They gave us lots of useful local information and recommendations to make the most of our time in Bühl which we thoroughly enjoyed. Their apartment is spacious and very comfortable, and we had the opportunity to meet and spend some time with Silvan’s parents which was an added bonus. Chia and Sesam were delightful, a little shy at the beginning but soon got used to us and we got to discover their sweet personalities. We highly recommend this charming couple and their easy to look after cats and the Black Forest region and would like to take this opportunity to say a very big thank you to our hosts!
