Let the cat, Chelsea who is 16 and in good health, in and out when you are around during the day. (Can certainly go out hiking for the day.) Fish get fed a pinch in the am. A few houseplants may need water every 5 -7 days . The cat Chelsea has an automatic pet feeder , so may need it topped up once and water refreshed every few days .

She is very quiet at night.she needs to be kept in at night because raccoons move through the neighborhood.

What are the good features of the property and location

Very central highly sought after neighbourhood in Missoula as it’s near the downtown, near bakeries, grocery stores and 2 blocks from the river trail. You can walk everywhere. We live on a dead end street so it’s quiet and the neighbors are kind. We love to walk daily down by the river or cycle into the Rattlesnake wilderness in about 20 minutes from home. Very good hiking all around Missoula in close proximity to town and lots of areas to bike. In the summer Caras Park downtown has lots of free live music during the week and is very popular. We are just across the bridge from 3 excellent farmers and peoples markets in the downtown on Saturdays. Missoula is a vibrant liberal university town and tends to be quite friendly and laidback. People here love to recreate whether it be skiing, Nordic skiing, kayaking, running, hiking or cycling. Lots of musicians ,writers and artists call Missoula home.
