 Hello everyone! ๐ŸŒŸ  We are the CumbreCats volunteers who have been working for the past 5 years to help 500 cats in La Cumbre .  We, with the backup of the local government, have established official cat colonies , easily recognizable by yellow signs with explanations in 3 languages. Our goal is to trap, neuter, and feed these cats, who contribute to the biological balance in La Cumbre by hunting rats and controlling the rodent population .  According to the law, if you have any problems with the cats or the colonies, you must contact the Benitachell Town Hall .  We have created colonies throughout La Cumbre and are looking for more volunteers. Join us! You will receive a special course and a municipal certificate . A cat deserves respect and a colony can not be taken away once it has been recognized! ๐Ÿ˜บ  Thank you for your support!

  Hi dear cat lovers and supporters. Bad and good news at end of the summer. Sadly 4 cats had to go over the bridge , at least 2 hit by car, one bitten to death by a dog and one for reasons of age . Finally a young mum was trapped and neutered before she became pregnant again (we tried it 6 times ) together with her young boy and daughter in one go. Thanks a lot to the cat carer, who did the drivings .

JUNE 2025 ๐Ÿพ EXTRAORDINARY TRAPPING REPORT ๐Ÿพ

Image
8 females and 5 males are neutered , 9 kitten are going in adoption. 2 other kitten are on our to-do list when they are old enough and 2 further adults are not willing to enter the trap . But we don't give up ;-) and please scroll down ..... So far we seem to have 8 girls and 1 boys. 5 have the cat flu (which was also responsible for the eye infections), 3 have ringworm/tiรฑa, all have worms and fleas and are underweight and dehydrated. All of them are responding very well to medications. As soon as the new ones stop wanting to tear me to pieces when I get close, I will introduce them individually and will give a time frame for when we will start the adoptions.
