Pets
- We feed and look after a family of 4 cats who adopted us when we first arrived in Spain - they are outdoor cats and do not looking after apart from afternoon feed and ensure they have clean water. We also have WIFI remote cat feeders to allow freedom of travel.
About Our Family
We currently live alone (Sue & Alistair) but have 2 children and 4 grand children who live in the UK. They all enjoy visiting and having fun here in Capi Corp - it is a wonderful part of the world.
Lifestyle
We are a husband and wife couple whose names, ages and professions are:
She: Sue, 61, semi retired business woman
He: Alistair 6, retired business man
We love outdoor living, gardening, growing our own fruit and vegetables, keeping fit (golf, yoga, walking, swimming, padel etc) and we like to travel and discover new places. Our main hobbies are golf, walking, general fitness, photography (past time really but looking to re-in vigour this passion) reading, going to restaurants, going out with friends, etc. We do not smoke and although we do look after a family of 4 cats that adopted us when we arrived in Spain they are outdoor cats that only need feeding once a day (we have automatic feeders as and when needed).
We both love animals and would be happy to look after pets at the exchange home.
We would take care of our exchange partners' homes as if it were our own, and of course we expect the same from our exchange partners. If you like our offer, please, do not hesitate to contact us.
