The Experience

Hello there! We are two beautiful black cats Fiera and Lupa, we are looking for a kind human who feed us whenever we want, who pet us when we need it, an intuitive person who can guess all our desires...as our owners already learned to. Our owners are Francesca and Gabriele. Francesca runs a farm shop in town, . Gabriele is a skipper and a hockey player. We think they need a help with simple chores in the house!

Fue mi primera experiencia como voluntaria y la verdad fue la mejor elección realizarla en la casa de Fran y Gabri ☺️. Pasamos un mes con Francesca y Gabriele, son dos personas increíbles y realmente nos sentimos cómo en casa. Ambos hablan y entienden varios idiomas, y son muy amables, siempre estuvieron atentos a nuestras necesidades. Las tareas realmente son muy fáciles, de convivencia, y algunos trabajos de mantenimiento del hogar, además de cuidar a Fiera y Lupa (sus dos gatitas hermosas). Lo recomiendo? Claro que si 🥰
