  We are a couple (David and Joana) with two cats and looking for someone to look after them while we are away. The cats are Simi (19) and Wicca (12). They need daily medication (one with a syringe ) but they are used to it and it's easy to administer.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We will probably be absent most of the time but we love to host people from around the world and we are used to welcoming travelers from Couchsurfing, Home Exchange, etc... We will be happy to show you around and have dinner together while we are here.
  
  We would prefer if you can come a few days early so we can show you how everything works around the house.

  Help

  Just need someone to take care of two cats. Feed them, clean the litter box and medicate them. Simi takes a shot (with a syringe) twice a day and drop of liquid in the mouth. Wicca takes a daily pill in the mouth. Don't be afraid of the medication part. They are used to it. ;)
  A cleaning person comes once a week (every Thursday) but you are encouraged to keep the house clean.
  
  In exchange you'll get your own room to sleep. You can use the kitchen and eat whatever you can find in the pantry or fridge. While we are here we will gladly pay for the meals we have together, but you'll have to buy groceries and pay for them while we are away.

  Accommodation

  There is a pull-out bed in the office. It can be used as a single bed (80x200 cm) or as double bed (160x200 cm).
  
  There's also our primary bedroom with a queen size bed (160 x 200) with a private bathroom but we prefer if you use the office.

  What else ...

  The house is located in the outskirts of La Coruña, the area is called Temple (Cuesta de la Tapia).
  
  The area is very quiet, it's a residential building next to the Casa de la Cultura de Cambre (called Villa Concepción) so we ask you to be quiet and respectful of the neighbours.
  
  There are coffee shops, supermarkets (open until 2am), banks, pharmacy etc within 300 meters.
  
  There is a bus stop 300 meters away, going every 15 minutes to the city center of La Coruna. We can leave you a bus card so you can ride the bus for free.
  
  La Coruña is a great place to meet people. There are several language exchange groups every week.
  
  The city centre of La Coruna is compact and walkable. It sits on a peninsula so you can take a stroll overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, or cut through the Old Town from one side to the other. There's a great ambiance in the streets to drink a glass of wine, beers, tapas and great food.

  Wicca (12 years)

  She needs medication once a day and she's deaf. But she has no trouble understanding that you're going to feed her! 😉

  

  Simi (20 years)

  Simi is our oldest cat. He needs medication twice a day.
  Ay first he is more friendly then Wicca, he will say hello to you right way!
