CumbreCats TNR and Rescue

The sound of the trap shutting was a clue to other cats that its not a good time to come around and to be careful. In the meantime, Tina had to lure two young kittens away from the trap with food. After about 35 minutes, a strong boy, who Tina knew and played games with her last week, came over to the trap. Tina had covered the trigger with newspaper and this worked well because the big tom cat stepped on the trigger and was trapped. which washed himself last week in the trap.

Since our fundraiser events came crashing to a stop because of the Covid Crisis being so close to home, we have had to rely on other forms of funding. So we want to send out a big THANK YOU * GRACIAS* to our Cumbre Pepe La Sal for putting our donation can into their shop and collecting for us. This can, with your loose change, has raised enough to neuter a cat already. Good work! A big thank you to our other Donation Can locations: Piensos Victor Benitachell, Como en Casa,   Simply Beautiful Moraira, Moraira Ebikes and The Red Lion We also have a donation can with June and Steve Duncan from Mutts Nuts in Moraira for accepting a can to collect loose change in their shop.  Also, sending out big thanks to Veronica our village vet and campaign partner for donating a bunch of antiparasitic pills to administer to the Cumbre Cats. The cats who need it most will have it in their food or eat is as a tasty biscuit treat.
