Cute Cottage Overload has moved !

After our move, and the production of our Moving Card (below) the main mission starts. Will we manage to attract 'homeless' or 'undecided' cats and convince them that this is the new place to be for them.

New House Moving Card

So far success was limited as only the daily served cat buffet is cleared without further contact. But we will not give up. Nothing beats the overview from the porch, we know cats. Sooner or later, they won´t be able to resist.

New House

The new home for Cute Cottage Overload is a wood house which came all the way from Sweden. It's main structure is manufactured by a company called Karlson Hus and it was planned and build together with our local architects from Böhm Architektur.

There will be lot´s of cute things happening around the decoration of our new house. But first some sentimental 'Before and After' pictures from our current place.
