FUNDRAISER REPORT

Tuesday, September 29, 2020, we dropped off our fundraising contributions to Veronica the Vet. She was very pleased at our success. She also showed us a large jar full of money that sits on her desk. She has been asking for donations for us and that jar was getting heavy. 

Tina dropped off some fundraiser items for sale, that he lovely husband created. They are fabulous hand made cards and tiny bags and boxes, all aimed at Christmas giving. So, if you are there, pick up one or two. I have already bought a bunch and they will come in handy very soon!

TRAPPING REPORT

Tina was up very early on Tuesday, September 29, 2020. She headed over to Andrea's home in Olivos. Their goal was to trap a happy cat family that hangs-out at Andrea's place because she feeds and cuddles them. 

Andrea is a very lovely lady with a big heart for cats and they know it. She feeds and engages with the feral cats in her zone every day. They love her. 

About six months ago, a mother with a batch of kittens showed up at her door. Since then, she has feed and befriended them. The mother was neutered right away, but now it was time for the kittens to go to the vet. 

Andrea decided to try and capture one of the cats and put it into the cat carrier box but a tossle ensued and the plan was scrapped. However, a bit later, the cat came back for a snack and Andrea wasted no time and grabbing the girl and putting her safely into the carrier box. 

Another female approached the food bowl and Andrea easily picked her up and placed her into another box. Now, the trapped looked around for the macho of the family. Andrea became worried about her boy. 

Finally, the male swaggered down the street and marched right into Andrea's living room, where Andrea whisked him up and placed him in a carrier box. 

By 9:15 Tina was driving a whole car full of cats to the vet. She picked them up again at 13:30 and let them relax in her guestroom until 19:30.

Tina took the cats back over to Andrea's home and released them. Both cat parents were there to receive their children. Andrea took the the young boy out of his box and gave him a cuddle before giving him back to his family. His tail raised up, he stretched himself out before giving kisses to all of his family. Then he went right back to eating at the food bowl. The females were happy to be back home as well. It was a heart warming reunion.

"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...
