  We are a couple (David and Joana) with two cats and looking for someone to look after them while we are away. The cats are Simi (20) and Wicca (12). They need daily medication (one with a syringe and needle- subcutaneous injection) but they are used to it.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We will probably be absent most of the time but we love to host people from around the world and we are used to welcoming travelers from Couchsurfing, Home Exchange, etc... We will be happy to show you around and have dinner together while we are here.
  
  We would prefer if you can come a few days early so we can show you how everything works around the house.

  Aide

  Just need someone to take care of two cats. Feed them, clean the litter box and medicate them. Simi takes a shot (with a syringe) twice a day and drop of liquid in the mouth. Wicca takes a three pill sin the mouth (one in the morning and two at night). Don't be afraid of the medication part. They are used to it. ;)
  A cleaning person comes once a week (every Thursday) but you are encouraged to keep the house clean.
  
  In exchange you'll get your own room, it's the one I use as my office from 9h to 18h. While we are away you will have the whole house for yourself.
  
  You can use the kitchen and eat whatever you can find in the pantry or fridge. While we are here we will gladly pay for the meals we have together, but you'll have to buy groceries and pay for them while we are away.
  
  Please, we ask for respect for our home, our cats, and our neighbors.
  Kindly do not bring guests to our house, as that could cause stress for our kitties and make it harder to give them their medication.
  Also, we wouldn’t feel comfortable having strangers in our home without our permission.
  Please avoid making noise between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m.

  Mes animaux

  

  Wicca (12 ans)

  Wicca is the our youngest! She is shy at the beginning, but with time, she will be super warmly!
  She needs medication once a day and she's deaf. But she has no trouble understanding that you're going to feed her! 😉

  

  Simi (21 ans)

  Simi is our oldest cat. He needs medication twice a day.
  At first he is more friendly then Wicca, he will say hello to you right way! But he can be grumpy, despite it looks like he might bite you, he never does.
  Once he trusts you, he will be happy to cuddle next to you, 😊
