  The Trapping week only brought results on Monday, March 15, 2021 when 2 teams were out with traps. Tina had informed Manfred, our community cat feeder to kindly not feed the cats in the evening nor first thing in the morning, so that they would be hungry and be attracted to the food in the traps. He agreed to feed after the trapping session and Tina was very happy with is co operation. Tina started 8:00 and prepared the traps with fresh sardines and immediately 4 cats started to snoop around the trap. Out of these 4, Tina could see that 2 cats were tagged so already done, however 2 still needed to be fixed.    After a few minutes, Tina got lucky and one went into the trap and launched the trigger. Down came the door and it was trapped. The cats heard the "clack" of the trap and dispersed.  After a few minutes, a young and tiny, maybe 8 month old, cat appeared and quickly approached the trap because of the smell of the sardines. Fascinated to get this ...

Our only TrapperMan... Robert, handed over a smaller than usual sum of  487,09 euros to our partner Veronica the village vet. Our Fundraising efforts have been very difficult these last 4 months because of the Covid restrictions. Ugh!  HOWEVER, Thanks to the kind donations of some very caring and special people, named proudly on our GRATITUDE WALL , we have cobbled a bit of cash together to get a few more cats neutered.  Our DONATION CANS were gathered and added to this total. Thank you to everyone who has dumped their spare change into these cans, which are distributed about Benitachell and Moraira.   If you wish to directly advance the neutering of a wild cat, we have GIFT CERTIFICATES available for that purpose. You can contact us at CumbreCats@gmail.com for one to be delivered to your home. They make proud and practical gifts to Cat Lovers who Care!   **

  SPECIAL SUPPORTER STORY... On Monday, February 22, 2021 - Radka, a CumbreCat supporter from Pueblo de la Paz who feeds the feral cats in her garden, was able to easily grab a female from the clan and put her in a carrier box to take to Veronica the vet.  Radka also picked up the cat and let it recover in her home before returning her to the colony. She also paid for the neutering so that the funds did not have to be taken from the CumbreCats money supply. Radka is a special supporter who not only feeds and cares for the CumbreCats, but also pays for a neutering. This is an amazing person! Kindness plus!!   On Thursday, March 4, 2021 trapper Saskia ventured out at 8:00 hours to the Olivos colony.  According to Saskia, "The feeder had fed the neutered ones at 7:00, to ensure the undone ones would be hungry upon my arrival, which took a lot of cat herding! After having placed the trap near their hide out, the first one was inside within a minute. It looked to be a ...
