    Descrição

    Help me caring for a young cat family! I actively engage to protect nature and animals, for social and environmental justice, and sustainability.

    I need active, open-minded people, who want to work for a change and are interested in building and promoting new relationships to animals and nature, beyond the stray/pet and in-need/shelter scheme and the nature-culture divide.

    Experience in animal care is good, but not necessary. Your willingness to help and learn and your capacity to communicate with animals are the most important requisites.
    Essential qualities are: ENERGETIC, SUPPORTIVE, ATTENTIVE, PATIENT.

    Staying from 1 month. Longer stayings are preferred. One volunteer or a couple of volunteers (no smoker).

    The cat family you help me care for lives in Petralia Soprana, a small village within the Madonie Natural Park in Sicily, Italy. The Madonie is a mountain range on the northern area of Sicily. It is a beautiful place to be if you like to be in nature. Access to hiking trails is easy and within walking distance. The view you can enjoy includes all the mountains surrounding the village, the sea on the northern coast, and the Etna, on clear days!

    You learn caring for animals and the environment.

  • Ajuda
