Rifugio Isola Del Sole plans to install a small prefabricated bungalow to enable our part-time animal and property caretaker to become live in and full-time, thereby providing better animal care and also saving on time, effort, gas, money, etc..
Rifugio Isola Del Sole has a growing number of rescue animals (currently more than 24) each with specific needs for feeding and care as well as care and maintenance of the grounds and house. Currently, our caretaker lives over 25 km away and spends a good amount of time and money commuting everyday, and with limited funds, it is not efficient. This project will help insure proper care of all animals and make better use of our funds with the added benefit of easing our caretaker's schedule.
The Rifugio will purchase a small prefabricated bungalow and install it on a piece of our existing land. The bungalow will include 2 small rooms for potential bedrooms, 1 larger common area with kitchen facilities and 1 bathroom. The bungalow will provide a real home for our caretaker eliminating the need for constant commuting, leaving the main house open for rentals and events and enabling more time to be spent with the animals.
Having a bungalow and enabling a live-in caretaker opens up the main house for all rentals and events, helps to insure proper and consistent animal care, and ease of planning for future rescues and Rifugio events. We can have more animals rescued, better health, less and more efficient use of Rifugio monies.
