A voracious reader who longs for her homeland and a skilled cook, Mel can captivate you with tantalizing aromas and flavors 😌. *She’s a wonderful partner and a great listener, with a pure heart and good intentions in everything she does. She’s also incredibly dedicated.

🎮 Caio is an energetic adventurer and an avid gamer. As a savvy manager at Dollarama, his English may not be as polished as Mel’s, but he always has an amusing or intriguing tale to share 👀🤣. Also, he’s a talented photographer, able to make even the photo-shy fall in love with his pictures 📸. He always treats everyone with great respect and care. He genuinely enjoys doing good and helping others.

👑 Our two calm and loving cats rule our home and thrive in good company 🐈‍⬛️👸 🐈🤴

🐈‍⬛️👸 Meet Millie, the 2.5-year-old princess of the house. A stunning tuxedo cat, black and white. She’s the world’s cutest and most charming feline. Initially shy, Millie will soon become your most loyal companion calm, smart, always ready to sneakily steal your food when you’re not looking 🤯.

🐈🤴 Introduce yourself to Kelbie, the 2-year-old prince of energy. This vibrant orange cat is brimming with energy and loves to play. He will adore you unconditionally and is always ready to keep you company, especially at meal times 😂.
