Since we do not have a common kitchen at CDR, you need to prepare your lunch in the pension and bring it to the shelter.
Most of the people bring a sandwich for lunch and cook in the evening.

Unfortunately, not. Please bring your own food and your own water.

Camping at the shelter is not possible. However, there is a camping place about 3 km away on the way to Palaiokastritsa. Check http://www.campingpaleokastritsa.com

Bringing your own pets is not possible.

There is no public wifi at the shelter. Our focus will always be on the animals.

Since the animals need care also on the weekend, we work in turns every day. However, you will always have two days off a week.

The rota will be done according to the needs of the animals, so it is not possible to choose each of your days-off. However, if you have a wish for a special day off, you can always talk to your supervisor in advance to see, if it will be possible.

The rota will be done according to the needs of the animals. However, we try to arrange common days off for you and your friend/partner. But it may not be possible all the time.

Please have a look at the info sheet.

Since we are a rescue center, of course, our animals suffer from some health conditions. However, it is very unlikely to catch severe sicknesses from one of the animals. Regarding a vaccination, we can not give any recommendation. Please talk to your GP about it.

We start at 8:30 am and finish at around 5:30 pm. If we have a lot of sick animals or too little people, then on some days you might be asked to work a little bit longer.

Please check the weather forecast some days before you come. Usually, from November until March/April you will need rain gear and warm things. In the summer you need good shoes (sneakers will do it, but no sandals, flip-flops).

It is recommended not to wear too short clothes since there are a lot of mosquitos and thorns on the meadows. In the hot months, a base cap or something else to cover the head is recommended.

Coming with kids is not possible (only as a visitor). We accept teenagers from 16 years of age if they are accompanied by at least one of the parent.

You need to talk to your supervisor at CDR.
