***ONLY FLUENT Italian and/or French speakers please. Maria, the host, only speaks these two languages. Thank you for your understanding***

Maria s'occupe des chats de l'île de Favignana, une petite île à 30 minutes en bateau de la Sicile (Italie). Elle s'occupe d'une soixantaine de chats qui vivent sur son terrain, ainsi que des colonies qui vivent aux quatre coins de l'île. Seule, elle s'occupe de faire castrer et stériliser un maximum de chats afin d'éviter qu'ils ne se reproduisent (le problème majeur sur l'île).

Ajuda
Nous avons besoin de quelqu'un qui soit vraiment engagé et impliqué à aider les animaux. Nous ne souhaitons pas de volontaires qui souhaitent juste avoir un logement gratuit et faire le minimum de travail (cela est déjà arrivé malheureusement...). Les animaux sont la priorité et Maria a besoin d'aide. Si vous n'avez pas un profond amour pour les animaux (et surtout les chats ;) ), ne venez pas nous voir. Le travail n'est pas très compliqué mais doit être bien fait ! Cela ne prend que quelques heures par jour, le matin vers 9h et l'après-midi vers 15h.

Voici une liste (non exhaustive) des tâches :

- Nourrir les chats qui vivent sur le terrain de Maria, puis laver les plats.
- Changer les bols d'eau.
- Soigner les chats.
- Promener les deux chiens, les laver, les brosser (tous les jours) et les nourrir.
- Accompagner de temps en temps Maria nourrir les colonies de chats de l'île.
- Laver les litières.
- Pour ceux qui savent bricoler : réparer les petites maisons en bois où les chats se réfugient.
- Toute autre tâche, selon les besoins (toujours liées aux animaux).
- Soyez proactif, faites des propositions :-) Les animaux sont la priorité.

I am on Favignana Island for 2 weeks now and it is lovely! I will leave soon and would really love that someone takes over after me :) I will try to describe my experience with as many details as possible.

COVID:
First I want to say that I travelled during lockdown and it was no problem at all! I just had to fill in a document that they give you… read more at the airport of Palermo. I said that I was travelling for professional/charity reasons and they let me go without a problem. In case, I had a "volunteering/work contract" (made by the host), but nobody asked me for evidence, so I did not have to show the contract.

The island:
Favignana island is beautiful! The island is small but there is everything you need there, so no worries ;) I am vegan, so I was worried about food, but it is really no problem at all. You can also order stuff on the internet and the packages will be delivered. Because of COVID, restaurants and bars are closed but some are still opened for take-away, so you can have a beer or a glass of wine in the city anyway! The sea is beautiful and crystal-clear and the streets are charming. It is a like a big village with a lot of nature!

To go there:
I am French, so I took a plane from Paris to Palermo, then you should take a bus to Trapani, where the harbor is, and then you take a ferry for 30 minutes and you are on Favignana island! Advice: book the bus ticket in advance. When I arrived in Palermo, busses were booked out so I had to take a taxi and it was very expensive at it is a 1-hour drive. For the ferry, it is no problem, you can buy it directly at the harbor, the boat is never full.

The host:
Maria, the host, is the best. She is super kind, always here for you and providing you with fresh food everyday.
She lives on a big land where all the cats are. We feed them twice a day and Maria also makes a tour of the island twice a day to feed stray cats. She has so much work to do and really needs and deserves help from dedicated people and cat lovers. She speaks Italian and French. She is a brave woman who gives her heart for the cats. She has to take care of 60 cats + the stray cats of the island ALONE. It is crazy how much she does and all the money she spends for them. She also tries to castrate and neuter as many cats as possible.

The work:
The tasks are pretty simple : cleaning the plates when the cats are done eating, walking the two lovely dogs, giving medicine to some cats, cleaning some litter boxes... Nothing hard. You are independent and should do whatever you think needs to be done. The less Maria has to do, the better it is! The work won't exceed a few hours per day so you will have plenty of time to enjoy the island and go to the beach. Right now, it is end of November and the weather is still ok, around 20 degrees with a blue sky most of the time.
If you have special skills, you can also try to post on social media and try to raise money!

Your room:
Maria has a small flat/room on her land. It is a small room with a double bed, a wardrobe and a small kitchen (stove, fridge..). There is also a small bathroom with a shower cabin. The room has even a terrace! It is all for yourself and the entrance is independent. It is 10 minutes away by foot from the sea and the village where all the bars and shops are. There is internet.
The flat/room is on the big land where Maria, her husband Giuseppe, the 60 cats and the two dogs live. It is huge, beautiful with a lot of trees and plants and the view on the mountains.

If you love cats and want to have a meaningful experience, this is definitely the place!! If you have any question, message me, I'd be super happy to give you more details!
