Preferably, we're looking for someone who is:

- Cat-friendly: our tiny old-lady cat recently passed, but we are considering fostering kittens and adopting a new kitty or two, so wed love the candidate to like animals. The house is technically pet-friendly for small pets, but this is dependent on the pet and is subject to permission we'd need to request from the landlord. We would prefer no dogs.
