Hi! I’m Selim – a full-time cat person based in Neukölln, here to care for your feline friend while you’re away or in a pinch. I’m 36, originally from Turkey, and I live with my own beloved cat, Boncuk—a beautiful white Angora—so I’m not able to host, but I’m happy to visit your home and make sure your cat is safe, relaxed, and well cared for.

I grew up in Istanbul (aka cat heaven 🐾), and I’ve been around cats all my life. I understand that every cat has their own personality and boundaries. Whether they’re cuddly, cautious, chatty, or independent—I take the time to earn their trust and follow their rhythm.

Alongside cats, I also have experience with many other small animals. I’m an aquarist and have cared for fish tanks for years. I’ve also kept and cared for birds, reptiles, and rodents—so if you have other little companions at home, I’d be happy to look after them too.

I offer:

Home visits (daily or twice a day)

Feeding, play, brushing, and litter box care

Medication if needed

Daily updates and photos so you stay connected

Emergency and short-notice care when possible

Care for birds, reptiles, fish, or small mammals

My schedule is flexible and I’m happy to accommodate longer holidays or weekend trips. I live near Körnerpark, Tempelhofer Feld, and Hasenheide and prefer sitting within the area for quick and easy visits.

If you’re nearby, we can arrange a short intro to see if it’s a good match. Looking forward to meeting you and your cat!
