SUNDAY MORNING FUNDRAISER FUN


This was our first time hosting a RASTRO. It proved to be a really fun time. The fundraising team set up treasures and by early morning sales were already underway. 

All in all 200 Euros was raised and delivered to Veronica the vet in the village.

Bruce, a longtime resident of Cumbre del Sol, ended up becoming our Master of Ceremonies and Sales. He really did a fabulous job coming up with the prices and getting the money into the donation box. He also delivered the cash to the vet and collected the receipt of payment. 



ABOUT THE EVENT

On Sunday 26th of July, the weather was lovely and the air was fresh at our favorite location on the Cumbre between the tennis courts and the paddle ball courts.

Mari Paz, the owner of the bar/restaurant up there, kept us in yummy coffee and fresh croissants with potted jam. 

It was fabulous to network with local people and supporters who came all the way from Javea.

I believe that we can look upon these fundraising events as excellent networking opportunities as well as promotional opportunities to let people know about our independent program to control and care for the cats on Cumbre del Sol. 

In Conclusion: It was a consensus that we hold these events on the last Sunday of every month starting in September. Once people get to know where we are then I'm sure our sales will go up and we will have lots of money to keep going with this project. These events are also really good for community spirit and solidarity and we encourage people in the community to get involved. Tx. Karla. Xx

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...

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....

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...
