Descrição
Hello Workaways!
We urgently need a helper for our rescue cats and kittens as soon as possible . The work will be divided between helping with the cats and some days caring for our grandchildren, who live nearby. They are well behaved children and love being outside or swimming in our pool. They are bilingual (English and Spanish)
Preference will be given to volunteers over 26 years of age but will consider younger volunteers if they meet certain criteria. We would like someone who wants to stay for 4 weeks or longer. It would be useful, but not essential, to have your own transport as we are 7km from Conil but we provide bicycles for volunteers who do not have transport.
Working hours are normally 09.00 - 12.30 (mornings) or 04:30-8:00 pm in the evenings. You will be caring for the cats and helping with our grandchildren at times. We are looking for responsible helpers who love cats and like being around children.
Jackie and Richard are an English couple who have lived here, near Conil, for many years; Jackie founded and runs a registered charity which cares for abandoned cats and kittens in the area . At the moment we are also working hard to sterilise many cats in the area. Currently we have 35 cats living freely on the property and kittens or young cats waiting to be adopted. The cats and kittens waiting for adoption live in enclosed cat houses.
The property is on half-hectare of land so we also grow quite a lot of vegetables and have several orange trees. Accommodation is in a cosy private room in our home and a semi private bathroom that you will share with another volunteer. We provide use of bicycles, relaxing gardens and a lovely swimming pool. The beach is about ten minutes by car and twenty minutes by bike. Food is provided and there is WiFi. Towels and bedding are provided.
Please email in ENGLISH telling us why you'd like to help out; include a short CV (with a phone number so we can contact you via WhatsApp) and photographs if possible. Preference will be given to volunteers who are 26 or over. We will send more information on request. We look forward to hearing from you !!
