House-sitting in Milan

Needs and animals

2 Cats

I have a 4 year old female Siberian cat, Astra. She is fed 3 times daily, as well as a small portion of kibble in a puzzle feeder, as well as brushing and eye cleaning once daily. She is a very sweet and confident cat in her home, she loves attention, play, strokes and most of all food! Along with all her favourite things she will bring you many cuddles and purrs!
I also have a new rescue, a ginger Persian girl, Evie who is 1 year old. She is also fed 3 times daily. She is currently very underweight so when going out I currently leave Evie in the kitchen and Astra in the bedroom therefore dry food can be left out for Evie to eat. She also needs a quick brush and eye clean daily. Evie's character is still developing as she is relatively new to the home but she is a very sweet and friendly girl. While Astra sits on you she will always be nearby.

Astra has IBD (Irritable Bowel Disease) therefore she is on special food for this and cannot eat anything else. Therefore cats must be fed separately to make sure Astra does not each any of Evie's food. Astra does not need any medication or special care. Evie is currently on medication which is given at night with a small amount of churu and then no food after, she takes it like a treat so its very easy.

Great city location, with a bakery, dry cleaners, salon and several cafés on the same street. Just a 5-minute walk to CityLife (green park with a shopping centre) and 6 minutes to three different metro stations — Amendola (M1) or Portello/Tre Torri (M5) — providing easy access in and around the city. A large supermarket is also just 6 minutes away.

Astra is exactly as Emily described her. She is simply the kind of cat anyone would wish for. Milan is a wonderful city to explore, but because of Astra my daughter and I were just as happy spending time at home with her and never felt in a hurry to go out. Communication with Emily was easy and lovely. She gave us all the necessary instructions and everything was straightforward. The apartment is adorable and has everything you need. The location is excellent too. I honestly can’t find the right words to describe the whole experience. Probably the one word that says it all is perfect. ❤️

It was a truly wonderful experience from beginning to end. First of all, communication with Emily was smooth and easy, and we felt comfortable with each other right from the start. Her home is warm, cozy, spotless, and very well connected, making it easy to explore Milan at a relaxed pace. Most importantly, Astra is an absolutely delightful cat. She has a very special personality and loves affection and attention. She enjoys being close to people, seeks constant companionship, and definitely likes to be the center of attention. We loved how quickly she trusted us from the very first day. We won her heart, and she certainly won ours. We would happily return to Milan just for the chance to spend more time with Astra. Thank you, Emily, for trusting us with both your lovely home and your wonderful cat! Yolanda and Roger.

Le séjour chez Emily avec Astra s'est bien passé. C'est une chatte adorable qui n'a pas de difficultés avec les étrangers. Elle s'est montrée très câline et joueuse. Emily s'est montrée très disponible et à l'écoute. Nous avons été très bien accueillies. Emily a pris soin de transmettre toutes les informations nécessaires. Très agréable !
