To All My Fellow Cat Lovers, You Can Get Paid To Hang Out With 55 Cats On A Gorgeous Greek Island

For some recent college graduates, you might still be wondering what the hell you are going to do post-graduate. If you are looking for a rather unusual job that will allow you to play with cats all day in your sweats, I may have the purrrrfect recommendation. Bonus, there may or may not be a picturesque Greek Island involved too (v Mamma Mia). 

God’s Little People Cat Rescue is located on the gorgeous Greek island of Syros, and they are looking for a new caretakers. It’s a part-time paid job that requires you to watch over 55 cats. If that didn’t entice you, then you should also know that the job offers free housing. Delish reports that the house has a garden with cats and an amazing view of the Aegean Sea. It sounds almost too good to be true. 

It’s probably the perfect job for any cat lover, and the rescue facility even prefers you to be. The listing on their Facebook page requires a 6 month commitment beginning November 1. You will also have to complete around 2 to 3 weeks of volunteer work before officially starting. During that time, you can start building your bond with each and every cat. 

Listing and details on how to apply can be found on their Facebook page. Your application should come “with a photo and relevant information.”

 Also, may the odds be ever in your favor because I bet thousands of people are applying for this once in a lifetime job.
