It's everyone's dream to make a living doing what they love, but few of us will likely realize that dream as fully as whoever gets the position just posted to God's Little People Cat Rescue's Facebook page. The Greek cat sanctuary is seeking someone to live on the island of Syros and look after its cats — and get paid for it, Time reports. The job is for "a mature and genuinely passionate cat lover who knows how to handle many cats and would love their company," the job posting reads. This person will have to feed the cats and care for those with particular health needs. In exchange, they'll get a house, a garden overlooking the Aegean Sea, a salary, and, of course, the company of a bunch of felines. The position isn't for everyone, though. You have to be able to drive a car in case a cat needs to go to the vet, and you also need to be OK with the fact that the sanctuary's a bit secluded and quiet in the winter. "You’ll no doubt thrive best if you are the type of person who appreciates nature and likes tranquility — and rest comfortably in your own company," the posting reads. "That said, you’ll never feel lonely in the company of the cats and you’ll be expected to live with a small handful of cats in your house." The job also calls for "cat-whispering skills" in case you need to take in a feral cat. If that doesn't make you want to apply, the photos on the sanctuary's Facebook page might. Along with the adorable kitties, you'll be surrounded by beautiful scenery. The position requires a commitment of six months plus one volunteer month starting in October. If you think you're cut out to be a cat whisperer, info on how to apply is here.

She wrote: "Apart from feeding the cats, the cats will also need heaps of love and attention.

God's Little People Cat Rescue on the Greek Island of Syros is looking to hire a live-in caretaker. The job comes with free housing and a salary, according to a post on the organization's Facebook page. "PAID JOB OFFER WITH CATS! (this is genuine and NOT a joke — friends, please feel free to verify! )," the posting reads. "A very special position and living circumstance on offer on a little Greek island called Syros (a small paradise no less!)" (Syros is located in the Aegean Sea to the Southeast of Athens, Greece.) The salary is €500 euro per month (that's equal to about $571), Joan Bowell, the founder and owner of the cat sanctuary, tells CNBC Make It via email. The job posting points to a link that says the average monthly salary in Greece fluctuated around €1050 euro per month (that's equal to about $1,200) between March 2017 and February 2018. The posting highlights that the job is not full time and comes with additional benefits. Housing is included in the form of a "semidetached modern tiny house with it's own garden (direct view to the Aegean Sea! )," says the posting, which was previously covered by Time. The job takes about four hours a day of work and involves feeding, cleaning up after, medicating and loving the 55 cats at the sanctuary. What the job may lack in financial remunerations it makes up for with peace and quiet. "We are located in a secluded nature preserved area which is very tranquil and quiet in winter time but busy during the summer. You'll no doubt thrive best if you are the type of person who appreciates nature and likes tranquility — and rest comfortably in your own company," the posting reads. "That said, you'll never feel lonely in the company of the cats and you'll be expected to live with a small handful of cats in your house." Interested, mature cat-lovers who can commit for at least six months can apply and video interviews will be held at the end of August. The more experience the job candidate has working with cats the better, the posting says. "From experience the job is most suitable for someone 45+ years of age, who's responsible, reliable, honest, practically inclined — and really, with a heart of gold! Apart from feeding the cats the cats will also need heaps of love and attention. You will at times be expected to trap or handle a feral or non-sociable cat, so knowing something about a cat's psychology too is important + cat-whispering skills should come natural to you." Competition for the job may be tough. A follow-up posting on Wednesday God's Little People Cat Rescue's Facebook page indicates the response to the post has been overwhelming.

This dream job comes with an adorable free house — and 55 cats to keep you company. You Could Get Paid to Live on a Greek Island and Cuddle Cats All Day It turns out dreams really do come true, at least for cat lovers. Earlier this week, an organization known as God’s Little People Cat Rescue announced it’s hiring a new caretaker to oversee its cat sanctuary and to take care of its few dozen kittens. The job posting seems normal enough until you learn that the sanctuary isn’t in some sad brick building lined with cages, but is instead located on the stunning Greek island of Syros, where all the cats run free. “A very special position and living circumstance on offer on a little Greek island called Syros (a small paradise no less!) for a mature and genuinely passionate cat lover who knows how to handle many cats and would love their company,” the job posting stated. It added that they are specifically on the hunt for someone who can “take over the daily running of my Greek cat sanctuary in my absence. You will have 55 cats in your care and need to be able to overview them all + feed and medicate (big added bonus if you’re trained vet. nurse! ).” With the job, you’ll not only have the love of many cats, but you’ll also have a fully paid for, modern little house with its own garden that also has a view of the Aegean Sea, and a small salary to boot. Moreover, you’ll have plenty of time to explore, as the job is just four hours a day.

Applicants must also be OK with frequent visits from tourists in the summer months. “We are located in a secluded nature preserved area which is very tranquil and quiet in the winter time but busy during the summer. You’ll no doubt thrive best if you are the type of person who appreciates nature and likes tranquility - and rest comfortably in your own company,” the listing says. “That said, you’ll never feel lonely in the company of the cats and you’ll be expected to live with a small handful of cats in your house.” According to the posting, this job is likely most suitable for those who are 45 years of age or older, and someone who is “responsible, reliable, honest, practically inclined - and really, with a heart of gold!”
