Needs and animals

Many plants | 2 Cats

Our 2 kittens, Laëti and Shah, will be 4 months old at Christmas, therefore we d like them to have company while we are away, hence the decision to join the Nomador community.
They mainly eat dry food so they are easy to look after. We only give them wet food once in a while as a treat.
They are not going outside, therefore you would need to make sure they do not escape.
Their litter box would need to be regularly emptied and cleaned.

Tourism and Leisure

Reading dates back to medieval times, shaped by the River Thames and Kennet that encircle the town centre.

As well as Reading Abbey Ruins, there is lots more heritage to enjoy in the town’s wonderful Georgian and Victorian buildings.

Being a University town, Reading is vibrant, multicultural and has a very lively atmosphere. It also provides opportunities for watersports, boat trips and riverside dining.

Everything is walkable – the town centre, access to the river, the Abbey Quarter district and the modern railway station. Big enough to offer a diverse experience without the drawbacks of the big city.

Reading is one of UK’s best-connected destinations, which makes it a great base for exploring the Great West Way, the Chilterns, Silchester Roman City walls, the Thames Path or nearby London, Windsor, Henley or Oxford.
(fastest service to London takes just 22 minutes.

Gilles D.

Rouen, France - January 2024

Martine and Thierry have really given us a warm welcome, making us feel at home during our winter stay in Reading. We have fondly enjoyed watching over Shah and Laeti who are very sociable, endearing kittens that are a pleasure to spend time with. Ample information was given to us about the organisation of the flat, and regular friendly contact helped work out details whenever any questions arose. Without exaggeration, I would say that Martine and Thierry are pleasant people to get to know.
