Live with mythical cats in peaceful solitude

---

The experience

Live a few weeks with Egyptian Maus, rare and mythical cats, in a peaceful, remote haven. Cuddles, playtime, but also cleaning their space and some help in the house and garden are essential. This place is for autonomous, responsible people, comfortable with solitude. I work for humanitarian organizations, but in the evenings I can teach you French cooking if you’d like.
