Description
Hello. I am Anne Katrin and since 30 years I live in Berlin. I need someone who loves cats and plants and would like to take care of my black and White cat Milos and my Garden, while I am away in July.
For me there was no option to live elsewhere than Berlin after my return from a long stay in Southamerica. Berlin is a cosmopolitan, inspiring place to be. Even for me, living here for such a long time, I can discover new spots , not talking about the vast cultural scene we have here. Apropos: I am a free lance press agent, working in the music scene, having specialised on Jazz, which is my passion since I discovered this music as a Teenager.
Two years ago I moved from vivid Mitte (Center of Berlin) to the more quiet but nonetheless interesting Oberschöneweide (Köpenick) a quarter surrounded by a big green park called Wuhlheide and the river Spree, both only five minutes away to walk. No worries, the Center with all its attractions is around 30 Minutes away, catching the public transport around the corner.
I live with my cat Milos in a beautiful apartment on the ground floor in a multiple dwelling with very friendly and helpful neighbours. The treasure of my apartment are the two terraces, you can step out on each side of the appartment, and there is a little private garden, too. It is a wonderful place to relax, quiet and green.
While I am away you would be taking care of my cat Milos, 2 years old, provide him food two/ three times a day, let him out in the garden. Play and cuddle him as much as he lets you.
You would also take care that his litter box is clean.
Food and litter will be provided.
Also it would be great, if you take care of the garden and the flowers. Means, watering the plants, if needed. During summer times that could be even every day if it is very hot. Everything needed is right at the appartment.
Milos is a really easy , curious, lovely cat. Though he is shy at the beginning, he will soon be wanting to be carresed…. And he loves food!
He is a very friendly cat, he loves to play and he usually sleeps in my bed at night. Day time he spends outside, only coming back when hungry.
I have very friendly neighbours (with a bunch of kids all ages) who are very open minded . I am sure they will welcome you as warm as they did with me when I arrived two years ago.
As in the neighbourhood we have the HTW, University for Technology and Science there is a campus nearby, where you can go for lunch at the Mensa or hang out at the beach place near the Spree.
Nearby we have an old industrial area which now hosts galleries and changing exhibitions, events. The association Schoenevibes organise frequently fleemarkets, festivals and other events. There are several beautiful hangouts nearby.
Go jogging or swimming in the Park Wuhlheide. You can even go horse riding nearby.
For Football Fans, there is the stadium of Eisern Union, one of the two Football clubs here in Berlin. For skaters there is the Mellow Park, a huge skater park nearby.
And if all this is not enough, in the city Center you find all what a tourists heart can desire…
Berlin has a large Tango and Salsa Scene, not to mention the club scene for any kind of music, especially Techno and Electro
What I love about Berlin that every quarter is different and a new little world to discover. Just throw yourself into it and be amazed….
As I already described before there are plenty of possibilities to spend your time in our quarter and the whole city. Berlin in summertime is marvellous. Of course, I will give you more detailed information before you come to Berlin. Please, feel free to ask any question.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

As he was a stray cat before he came to me, he can eat ALL THE TIME!
But he is getting used to only three meals a day….
He is a very friendly cat, he loves to play and he usually sleeps in my bed at night. Day time he spends outside, only coming back when hungry.

She connected immediately with Milos and when coming back I could see that they… read more
