    Crete, Greece: Cat sitter sitter and house sitter wanted to care for a cute cat crew of 8!

    Must be cat lover as they are a big crew!

    The cats are all rescues (or kittens of) - All very VERY friendly and cuddly. I started rescuing cats 3 years ago and the crew grew very fast! They all live with me in my home - so the house is a bit cat crazy.
    They have a cat flap so can come and go outside as they wish.

    My flat is in the mountains in tiny village. The village has a square and a small shop and 3 little kafeneons (simple greek cafe/bars).

    There are 3 big rooms (including the kitchen), tiny toilet/shower, a huge wild overgrown garden.

    There is a bus every day to and from the village to the beach Agia Galini (18min journey). Leaves at 7am or 11am and returns at 5.45pm (will vary on holiday days).

    My kitchen has a gas bottle hob and in the living room I have a wood burner with an oven. Please note ***I have no washing machine.***

    The bathroom is tiny and crap - and the shower isn’t the best - but there is some warm water.

    It is an old Greek house (not pristine and not good for people who need super clean easy spaces). Things break often, power cuts, water problems - these things happen.

    I do have internet and good phone signal here though. If there’s a storm there can be a brief power cut. Sometimes the water is switched off in the village for a day. ***You need to be comfortable living without all the mod cons.***

    I have 8 grown up cats: Assatta, Otto, Collette, Pamela, Fengari, Angie, Dianna and Shelly

    All are very playful and friendly and love love love attention.

    What is needed:

    They need feeding a couple of times a day.
    But they don’t need someone here all the time - If you are out all day it’s not a problem (or even if you stayed overnight away) - they have dry automatic dry cat feeder, water and their cat flap.
    They don’t have any routine or really require much… just some love and feeding when you are there.

    The some of the cats were born with chronic illness and so sometimes get ill. This means it is really important that they don't eat any food scraps only their own food - or they get bad stomachs immediately when they have our food - as they have intolerances.
    If they got any other illness - which they can get out here - (two time a year maybe) - in this case it might be that picking up medication is something that is needed from town.

    Other than making sure the cats are fed and well - just enjoy Crete and the space!

    They all like to sleep on the bottom of the bed at night-time (people who genuinely love this will be prioritised as they don't like being shut out rooms - but of course you can keep them out the bedroom. They might be a bit annoyed for a day or two but they will get over it).

    Nearest airport is Heraklion or Chania (can accessed by coach - 2 coaches/buses to my village and it’s about 2 hours from the airport in total). Buses are about €8.

    Please write in your message saying you have read the profile so I know you have considered this particular sit. Thanks!

    It will literally be feeding cats, giving them love and watering some plants.

    Acomodação

    My flat (1 bedroom, 1 living room, kitchen, giant garden) is 5 minute away from the bus stop and 1 min from the shop.

    Wood burner for heating (and oven).

    There are steps up to my flat and my bed is low down. I have a sofa bed too in the living room.

    It is in the mountains so there are beautiful walks near by. The nearest beach is 18 min drive away people hitch here so thats an option if you feel comfortable to do that.

    Agia galini (accessible by bus) has supermarkets, veg shop and bars.

    Note: My flat is very pro Palestine, for trans and queer liberation and anti-sexist, abolitionist (so if that makes you uncomfortable it isn’t the best space for you).

    If this post speaks to you then DM me a bit about why.
