AMAZING HAPPY ENDING STORY


ONCE UPON A TIME... There was a Cumbre kitten who had a seriously bad life risking problem that needed a solution.

You can read the BACK STORY to this situation in a previous newsletter entitled : HELP - NEED LOVE FOR BABY - FAST!- click here!

The 5 week old and extra small kitten was taken to Veronica the vet in the village of Benitachell to be operated on. The little girl kitten needed a lot of care and treatment.

First, the inflammation had to cleared. This process took over a week to sort out with a lot of washing, drying, creaming and injections involved.


Finally, after a full week, Veronica felt it was time to operate.

The kitten was kept at the clinic for another week and given the best of nursing care and treatments. We were very pleased with the exceptional care that Veronica and her team gave to the baby and we were extra surprised with Veronica offered to save this kittens life at no charge!!! She said she did it to help the Cumbre Cats group but we know she has a good soul. * photo * Vet Veronica & Anouk


LEAVING THE CLINIC

As many of you know, we shared an announcement to help find someone to foster or give this kitten a home. Again and Again we reached out to the public but with no luck.

The little one was ready to leave the clinic.



Tina, one of founding trappers, decided to take her home to foster and maybe from there a loving home could be found. The kitten still needed nursing care because she had stitches and needed her bottom cleaned. She was a very sad and uncomfortable kitten. Plus, she still had the eye infection that needed to be washed daily and eyes bathed in chamomile tea and then eye drops.

Tina's heart was in full pumping mode when she visited the kitten at the clinic, but now taking care of of the tiny soul at her home meant that the love started to gush out!!

Tina remarks, "When the little one entered our house, she first stayed in her box and played with a little pillow filled with catnip. Then she discovered the mouse and didn't want to leave the carrier."


She continues, " Pepito, our one year old Spanish male cat was absolutely excited by the foreign cat smell and the little thing inside the carrier box, that he entered and started to sniff and kiss the little girl. Was it love at first sight? And our senor cat Justy, who is 15 years old accepted her, but for him, she is so naughty. *smile* "


HOME SWEET HOME

THEN another surprise!! Another male in the house fell in love with the kitten, this time of the human variety.


Tina continues, "We have named her FELI from Felicidad because my girlfriend Hancy (also a trapper) saw how happy the kitten was with us. Now she lives happily with us and we can't live without her.

Last Monday the 20th of July FELI got her stitches removed. Now she is really happy kitty full of life and playing non-stop with Pepito playing chasing games throughout the whole house.

All in all, the heartwarming story ended with a grand gesture of human compassion.

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

Image
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...

AUGUST 26, 2024 🐾 TRAPPING & WATER REPORT 🐾

Image
"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...
