The Experience

LGBTQ+ fam welcome! Food is not included, and there's no running water or fridge. You must love hiking, camping, and be communicative with me. I need helpers with youthful energy to carry cat food up the hill , trash down, and to help with simple maintenance tasks during summer: personal assistants, basically. I prefer hosting couples or friends traveling together. Mandatory gear: solid shoes for rocky paths, sturdy backpacks, and headlamps.

This was an amazing experience being able to connect with nature and experience life in Vis! The island is beautiful and Shiva was a wonderful host, I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who loves being outside and has a special place in their heart for cats :)

What an amazing experience!! I was able to learn so much and grow so much as a person during our month at the shelter home. I would highly recommend this exchange to someone that is very flexible and outdoors and is looking for a paradise filled with love from the cats. Nothing was more fun than walking to feed the cats in the morning and seeing them greet you on the path and ending the day with beautiful sunsets. Even in December I was able to swim so please apply to help the cats and make a huge impact in these cats lives :)

Truly an unforgettable experience! Living in the shelter really felt like a home away from home! Throughout my time here I truly learned so much from the land, the people, and mostly the cats! This exchange is perfect is you love the outdoors and animals! Shiva is a great host, very communicative about the work involved and you have a ton of free time to explore the island! During winter weather can be difficult sometimes (nothing too crazy) but I felt it makes you appreciate sunny days even more! This experience allowed me to grow within myself and develop new skills and confidences!

Shiva was very friendly and open minded. She explained everything really well and just told us what needed to be done without controlling everything. She was very appreciative about our work. We worked a few hours each day and spend the rest of the days at the sea or exploring the island. It was a lovely experience

Shiva was an amazing host. She trusted us with our work and we were able to decide at what times we wanted to get the work done. She showed us many aspects of the life of street cats. She was very open minded and answered any questions we had.
