TRAPPING REPORT - MARCH 6, 2021

 

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 promising start of the day! It was a large macho who fell for the wonderful smell of the food. 

The second trap was set up and after a little wait, the second cat was in. This time it was a beautiful female. 

Both cats were delivered to the vet's at 9:00. Upon sterilizing the female, it was discovered she had just entered pregnancy (under 7 days). Whilst the macho was ready to go late afternoon, the female stayed till night time for her recovery. Both were returned to their usual hide out and we hope to see them around again soon, with a chipped ear this time!"

"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...
