NEWSLETTER . JUNE 25 . 2020


Every week there are advances by our Trapping Team who are doing amazing work!!




On Thursday, June 18, 2020 - Rebeca and Jacqueline K. managed to trap a curious young male cat over in the Monte Cala zone on Zurbaran Street.

The team were actually attempting to trap a female but she escaped. However, while the trap was still set up a young male thought the food was good and entered the trap. He touched the trigger and as they say, the rest is history.

He was taken to Veronica the vet by 11:00 H and once neutered he spent the rest of the day and early evening in Rebeca's bathroom. Once strong enough he was returned at 21:00 H


Hancy and Mum cat
On Monday, June 22, 2020 - the trapping team of Hancy and Tina were out in the Magnolias zone.

As it turned out, Hancy had been feeding a young beautiful Mum and her three kittens so Hancy was very friendly with the cat. She was able to just picked up the Mum and put her gently into the carrier box.

By 10:45 Tina had her at the vets office and picked her up again round 12.45. The Mum slept the rest of the day in Tina's bathroom. However, once the Mum was awake and feeling better she got nervous because she was worried about her kitten. It was then that Hancy released her back to her living place and kittens.

AUGUST 26, 2024 🐾 TRAPPING & WATER REPORT 🐾

"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...

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...

JULY 24, 2024 🐾 TRAPPING & RAINBOW REPORTS 🐾

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....
