  Description

  =============
  Currently we are looking for someone to care for our cats from 13th February until 18th February while we are gone, but a longer stay can be discussed (then we can cohouse). One of our cats has diabetes and has to receive insuline injections twice a day, we can learn you how to do it but it is important that you feel confident for this task!
  =============
  
  Hello! We are Kobe and Lize and live in a two-store apartment with garden in Borgerhout, Antwerp. We have two cute cats, Sam and Marie. They are both anxious cats but once Marie gets to know you, she will ask for a lot of cuddles. We occassionally look for someone that can look after Sam and Marie while we are gone to give them some attention. In exchange, you can stay in our place which is within biking distance of Antwerp city center, train station, and close to multiple parks.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Antwerp is a very lively and diverse city. We live within biking distance from the city center where you can visit multiple museums and buildings. Furthermore, we live right across from a park and have a garden, so a quiet and invisible getaway is also possible

  Help

  We would like someone to look after our cats when we are on vacation. This includes giving food, water, medecation, and cleaning their litter box. Ideally, you can also give them some attention and cuddles. If necessary (for example during longer or warmer periods), we would also like it if you could give our large collection of plants water. We also have a small vegetable garden. During summer, minimum care is needed and in return you can harvest!
  
  Important to know is that one of our cats (Sam) has diabetes and should receive insulin injections twice a day.

  Can possibly accept pets

  All pets are welcome. Our cats are rather anxious but can meet other pets in a safe environment. Our cats don't go outside and only stay in the appartment on the first floor, therefore the guest room on the ground floor and the garden can be a private space for your pets.
