  Description

  May 17-June 5
  
  
  I have lived in Anchorage Alaska for almost 30 years and am from California originally. I am a scientist by training, an amateur artist, cat rescuer, reader, a laugher, traveler, friend, auntie, and Anchorage is home because it'got the benefits of a small town but just on the outskirts of paradise. I have three cats: Oliver (old man at 15, does his own thing, cuddles every now and then), Lexa (most loving-est cat I've ever had. She lives to cuddle. She is a 6-year old shy cat and so takes a bit of time to trust -she gets depressed when I'm gone), and Henry (a hilarious 2 year old rambunctious/loving boy who was nearly feral until I brought him in at 6 months old. He really takes a while to get used to people. Until they feel safe, Lexa and Henry have good hiding spaces.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  I live on the outskirts of our art district "Spenard" and less than 1 mile away is 'The Nave,' a community center, a collection of art studios, restaurants, movie theatres, thrift stores, and other shopping. The coastal trail is an excellent place to bike and it's about a mile away as well. I would definitely encourage checking out the Native Heritage Center and Alaska Museum to understand the context of the original inhabitants of this beautiful place.

  Aide

  While I'm out of the country, I usually have a woman come every day to feed my cats and take care of litter, but they all get depressed so I'm hoping to find someone with a very calm vibe and/or experience with shy cats/rescue cats come stay at my house May 17-June 5. I live in the suburbs near a trail, so I would provide my bike and car for use. I would like someone who doesn't mind keeping their litter cleaned often and does basic tidying. There are also stray cats that I put out food for so to do that too would be part of it. I have a big front yard and back yard and am at the end of a street with awesome neighbors.

  Hébergement

  I have a 2-bedroom house and two full bathrooms. One of the rooms has a twin bed and the other has a double bed. You would have your own bathroom. Both rooms lock. I would have all linens, blankets, towels provided. I would leave behind a fully stocked pantry and some basics for the refrigerator to get you started, but not for the whole trip. Smoking is fine outside of the house.

  Autres infos...

  Use the car to hike and explore Alaska! Due to the shy nature of the cats, I would ask that guests be kept to an absolute minimum. I don't have a TV, so you would need your laptop (I do have excellent wifi) to entertain yourself.
