Cat sitting in spacious sunny apartment in beautiful Girona

About this assignment

We are looking for a "cat person" to care for our 4 cats and feed a feral colony . It would be great if the sitter could arrive a day early so that we can show them the "routine" and we would take the sitter to dinner. The cats are easy going and need only food, attention, a bit of playing and someone to scoop their boxes

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

We have 4 cats, ranging from 2 -17 years old. Feed cats dry food 2x per day and wet food 1x per day. Scoop litter box daily. Vacuum every 2 days (cats shed a lot).
Water the plants (we will leave instruction) every couple of days
IMPORTANT - we feed a feral colony 750 meters from our apartment. The ferals must be fed in the morning and evening. The colony is in a safe location, across from the Devesa Park.

What are the good features of the property and location

What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment

IMPORTANT - we feed a feral colony 750 meters from the apartment. The ferals must be fed in the morning and evening. The colony is in a safe location, across from the Devesa Park.....and you walk past several lively cafes to and from the apartment. So you can have a coffee (or wine) after feeding the cats! The colony is also "along the way" when walking to Placa Independencia (the main square) or Bari Vell (the medieval quarter) from our apartment.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
