The selected person will work 4 hours a day, including feeding, cleaning and playing with the 55 cats here.
The God’s Little People Cat Rescue organization on the island of Syros (Greece) is recruiting a cat caretaker, with a salary of 500 euros ($571) per month and free housing. Recruitment announcements are posted on the organization’s social networking page.
The average salary in Greece is 1,050 euros per month. Therefore, the announcement also emphasizes that this is not a full-time job, and there are many benefits that come with it. It is “a small, modern house, with a garden and a direct view of the sea”.
The selected person will work 4 hours a day, including feeding, cleaning and playing with the 55 cats here. The lack of finances will be compensated by quiet and comfort. “Our place is in a reserve, very fresh and quiet in the winter, but quite crowded in the summer. If you are a nature lover and enjoy peace, this is the choice for you. You will never feel lonely when living with the cats here,” the notice said.
Applicants must commit to working for at least 6 months. Of course, like every other job, they prioritize candidates with experience: “People aged 45 and over will be the most suitable, because they are responsible, trustworthy, honest and compassionate. In addition to feeding, you will need to care and listen to them too.”
However, the race for this position is expected to be very fierce. To date, this recruitment information has been shared nearly 20,000 times. God’s Little People Cat Rescue also said it has received hundreds of applications from candidates.
