My experience with Zelijka and her animals was fantastic. The tasks are not tiring at all and do not take up the whole day. Zelijka is a fantastic person who tries to involve you in Croatian culture and the world of the Catholic religion. Shout out to Micheal and Yuliana the neighbors most wonderful people I met.

There are a couple big projects that are better for larger groups or people volunteering for an extended period of time but mostly the work just consists of feeding, cleaning and general care for the animals. Zeljka stays inside until around 5 pm so your pretty much on your own but she does text tasks and will come out to ask things in the evening. The town is close by and cute, especially the cinema which I recommend. In total its a beautiful place to be with truly kind and caring people (micheal and jolana) and a very nice escape/detox from everyday life

Zelijka is a kind person, both with her animals and her volunteers. She cares deeply about her animals, which is inspiring to see. She enjoys getting to know her volunteers as well, so no need to be shy! I was at her santuary for about a week- in the morning I typically had some tasks (food + water for the animals, cleaning up dirty hay, etc.) and then in the evening the tasks were somewhat similar. There is downtime in-between and its a rural town. A car would be a + (which she had offered). Some days you may be asked to help with other various tasks, but they were all fun and doable for me.

I had a really amazing time at the shelter. The place is absolutely lovely and so are all the animals! I will miss everyone so much. The work wasn't a lot and it was really fun. Its a lot of free time to experience the dreamy landscape and hang out with the animals. Zjelka even took us to the cinema and town. Thank you so much for the opportunity Zeljka!
