NEWSLETTER . JUNE 17TH . 2020

THE BALL IS ROLLING as they say...

The Campaign is off to a flying start. A fresh round of funds came in right at the start that facilitated the Trapping Team to start work right away.

So, we send out Big Hugs and Thank Yous to those early Gifters who granted this campaign a good head start. Their names can be found on the websites WALL OF GRATITUDE page.





TRAPPING REPORT


The first trapping took place on the 15th of June. The Trapping Team was Rebeca and Tina. The goal was to trap two cat, one male and another very skinny pregnant female in the Monte Cala zone.

A grey male cat was successfully trapped but unfortunately a female grey escaped.

The male was taken to Veronica the vet in Benitachell by 11:30 H and his surgery was done by 12:30 H and returned to Tina where he spent his post op in Tina's bathroom until he was awake and strong again. Then he was taken back to the same spot at Monte Cala and released about 19:00 H

It was the great start of our campaign and we had very good teamwork !!!


The next trapping took place on June 16th. The two trappers on deck were Jacqueline and Tina.

It took place at the Zone Lirios / Olivos. The goal was to trap two cats, one male and one female who was in an early pregnancy. It wasn't easy but after an hour both cats were finally trapped.

According to Tina, "It was very funny because the female pulled the food from the outside the trap towards her and grabbed a piece and disappeared behind the corner for eating".

The tricky kitty finally entered the trap and touched the trigger and the door closed shut.

The male was just hanging around when Jacqueline grabbed him with a brave grip and like lightening got him into the box and closed the door.

By 9:30 H both cats were handed over to Veronica the vet. The vet has not been busy because of the Covid crisis, so she worked on the Cumbre Cats right away and both were ready to be picked up at 13:00 H

After both cats recovered completely from their operations, they were released into the green area behind the Lirios buildings.

Great team-work of all ! Special Thanks to Andrea who was helping us by luring the cats.

NOTE: Could the person who is feeding these cats please join the Trapping Team because the cats know your voice and trust you!!!!!

Tina, Veronica & Karla

"Successful Rescue of a Young Kitten in Magnolias Zone" Trapper Report "At the end of September, a couple from the Magnolias zone, who love CumbreCats, asked for help in trapping a young kitten that had recently appeared. Since there were many cats in the area, I used a remote-controlled trap. The couple had not fed the cats the evening before or on the morning of the trapping, so we had a lot of hungry cats around. With the help of the cat feeder, who lured the already-neutered cats to another location with food, the inexperienced young kitten became so captivated by the tasty pieces inside the trap that he entered quickly. I was able to press the CLOSE button on the trap. However, his mother was smarter. From the start, she made a wide circle around the trap and showed no intention of being caught, so she remains on the to-do list. The cat feeders took the kitten to Veronica, the vet, which was a great help as they handled all the driving. They also refused a CumbreCat...

MONTE CALA HAS A NEW FAMILY  TRAPPER REPORT One of our part-time cat feeders in Monte Cala was informed by her neighbours about a new mother cat and her kittens. She went out, examined them all, and reported back to me. Together, we quickly devised a trapping plan. First, I focused on a mother cat with a very beautiful kitten that looked like a Siamese. As usual, the mother was black, like so many cats in that area.  Since the female cat was used to the feeder, who had fed her very little the evening before, the mother cat was quite hungry the next morning and already waiting when we prepared the trap. We used a remote-controlled trap because a few already neutered cats were hanging around. The feeder lured the others away with food, leaving the mother cat to enter the trap quickly. She was successfully trapped. Since we were already in this area, we decided to continue trapping. We set up both traps, the normal one and the remote-controlled trap, and then the waiting started....

LETTER FROM BEAR - A Recipent of the CumbreCats Elder Cat Programme

Good morning, everyone. My name is Bear, and I live on Cumbre del Sol, a lovely mountain community in the province of Alicante on the Costa Blanca. My passport says my name is Osito, which I prefer because it sounds more regal, of course. However, Mom insists on calling me Bear or, even worse, Beary-Bear. But she loves me so much that I'm willing to live with the little names she comes up with. Don’t tell her, but I am very fond of her too for a number of reasons. If she knew, I would probably never hear the end of it. My story began about eight years ago, more or less. The vet wasn’t quite sure. I don’t consider myself a real senior, although I am starting to feel the weather changes and the cold winters in Spain in my bones. Now, if you are a house cat, this is less of a problem because you have your heated mansion, your lovely warm basket, or your human’s bed to keep you warm. The best-case scenario, of course, is keeping warm on Mom’s lap for as long as possible. Somehow, thoug...
