TRAPPING REPORT - OCTOBER 6, 2020

IT'S A TRIO

On Monday, October 5, 2020, team trapper Jo and Tina were up and out with their traps by 8:15 in the Pueblo de la Paz zone. 

It was a slow starter because the cats were all in bed still. Finally, after 20 minutes, a few started to sniff around but they had ear tips already.

A big black macho with monster baby makers came to see what was happening, but his was a cool cat and knew the game and strutted away. Jo and Tina decided to looking for him and discovered a clowder of cats having a meeting. 


At once they set up the first trap. They loaded it up with biscuits, wet food and fish taste and then moved away. There was a very hungry white tabby who ran right into the trap and triggered the door. It was a female.

The trappers quickly grabbed another trap and loaded it with the same treats. 

A Bengal male came into the trap and ate all the snacks without triggering the door. The team restocked the food supply in the trap. The Bengal came back with a friend. 

A lovely white tabby female followed him right into the trap and the trigger went off. They were both caught. This is never a good idea, so Tina covered the trap right away to calm them down.

Jo took the trio to the vets at 9:30. Tina did the pickup at 14:30 and brought them home to recover in her guestroom till 19:00.

Tina returned the trio to their clowder and they were happy to be back to their friends.

"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...

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....
