From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

If the thought of quitting your job and moving to a Greek island to spend time with cats sounds appealing, it is time to update your resume.

While it may sound too good to be true, a cat rescue organisation located on the island of Syros is looking for a caretaker to take care of the 55 cats living there.

God’s Little People Cat Rescue, the organisation behind the dream job, posted the employment offer on Facebook - and it gets even better.

In addition to cuddling, feeding, and caring for the cats, the new employee will also have completely free lodging, with water and electricity included - plus a salary.

If that did not sound appealing enough, the house comes with a direct view of the Aegean sea and a garden.

To be qualified for the position, located on the “tranquil and quiet” island, applicants must know how to operate a manual car - and must have a love for cats.

Other than that, a veterinary background is recommended but not required and “apart from feeding the cats, the cats will also need heaps of love and attention” - which sounds easy enough.

The job is a long-term commitment of at least six months, but two to three weeks of volunteering is required first - probably to see how the cats respond to you.

Interested applicants can learn more about the job here.

If a job on a secluded Greek island paradise surrounded by cats sounds like a dream come true, apply quick - as applications are only being accepted until the end of August and competition is likely fierce.
