There are 2 cats in residence who spend the majority of the time outdoors and come in only to eat and sleep during bad weather in winter. If you can feed them once in a while, perfect! If not, we can put them in a boarding house for cats, but additional fees will be applied to cover a part of the cost.
This is our family's house, we love it and we only ask you to take care of it as you would your own home. Thank you so much, we look forward to seeing you!
