Detalhes
Descrição
I offer accommodation in an old house in a small village, with some rescued street cats. Basic amenities and hygiene, 2 bathrooms, individual or shared room, kitchen access. Washing machine, dishwasher, and 24-hour Wi-Fi. Help needed 5h/day, 5 days/week, in the morning, in between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. Near bus stop and 30 or 40 minutes walk to the beach and train station.
…………………..
The idea is to take care of the general maintenance of the house, look after the animals and the garden, and eventualy assist with crafts. It's important to try to contribute to environmental preservation by saving and reusing water, using minimal paper (especially toilet and kitchen paper), being mindful of energy consumption, and avoiding food waste. Due to being an old house, it may not be suitable for people with respiratory problems, and the water in the bathroom might not always be very hot, but I hope the rest of the stay makes up for these minor inconveniences.
……………..
In the morning, at 8 o'clock, (after preparing and eating breakfast), changing the cats' litter and looking after them, unloading and putting away the dishes from the dishwasher, hanging out the laundry to dry when necessary, picking up snails, tending to the garden, cleaning the house and, possibly, helping with the handicrafts. Prepare/help prepare lunch (until 1pm).
After lunch, in the afternoon, you're free.
…………………..
VERY IMPORTANT!!!
This is an old house, with old plumbing, with a septic tank.
Avoid putting paper or solid objects in the plumbing.
PLEASE! NO TOILET PAPER, NO PENS, NO HAIR, NO FOOD REMAINS in the pipes (toilets, sinks and washing machines);
e... Do not disturb the cats too much (VERY Loud noises, shouting, sudden movements...);
PLEASE don't smoke indoors and don't come home too late at night.
………………………
Why choose my place?
You can learn about: macrobiotic diet, tending to a garden, caring for cats, household chores, and a bit of crafting. Most of the food comes from our own garden.
You have free and unlimited Wi-Fi 24 hours a day, a single room, easy access to public transportation to Caldas da Rainha, Óbidos, S. Martinho do Porto, Nazaré, Alcobaça, Porto, Lisbon, etc., and access to a bicycle.

About me and staff
I enjoy waking up early and need time for breakfast.
I love spending time with cats and cooking macrobiotic meals, but I require assistance in the kitchen.
I spend more time in the workshop than in the garden, and I also need some time for myself.
I frequently leave home to fetch water, pick fruit, attend training sessions, go to the beach, and do shopping (which I dislike but need to do)... and I enjoy biking.
Volunteers are free to use the kitchen and pursue their own activities.
They need to have patience with the cats as they were street cats.
And right now we have also some baby cats. : )Tipos de ajuda e oportunidades de aprendizado

I wish her all the best and hope to have the pleasure of enjoying her good company again.
Each of them, in their own way, helped me a lot, in many different ways.
