ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY SUMMARY IT HAS BEEN A PRODUCTIVE YEAR. Together with the fantastic support and help from our community cat lovers, the CumbreCats Trapping Team has achieved greatness.  Here are our numbers - Cats Trapped, Neutered & Returned Begonias: 18 Encimas: 10 Girasoles: 21 Magnolias: 14 Monte Cala: 28 Olivos: 32 Pueblos: 15 Kalmias: 1 Lirios: 6 TOTAL - 145 CATS Regrettably, we had to put 6 cats to sleep because of sever injuries. We did not want them to suffer. Joyfully, we had a least 10 kittens adopted. So life continues.  In every area of Cumbre del Sol, we have found cat loving folks who help to take care of the cats and this confirms an exemplary humanitarian way of life. In some areas, micro-communities were founded and as a group effort privately pay for medical treatments and other helpful solutions. This way, many more cats have been helped with their survival needs. TOURIST SEASON is not a good time to trap CumbreCats because of cars, people and nois...

    OVERWHELMED AND GRATEFUL TO ROUND-UP 638,91 EUROS!! Once again, we are amazed at the compassion of many of our community Cumbre del Sol residents who have contributed to our CumbreCats Campaign and donated funds to keep the programme functioning.  Together with money generated by the sales of our CumbreCats CookBook, Gift / Occasion Cards made by our local artist, PayPal Donations, Gift Certificates and Collection Can from Pepe la Sal - the total came to 638,91 EUROS!! Since we do not receive money from any governmental structures, we are proud to know that we don't their money and that we can operate as a privately funded community enterprise. From past experience, we learned that just by volunteering for our local vet, the lovely and talented Veronica, it was a better way to get things done more quickly and efficiently. Keeping it simple with our partnership, there were no layers of bureaucracy to bog us down! The funds and cats we collect go directly to Veronica an...

 FRIENDLY FOLKS HELPING FELINE FERALS This report finds our friendly trappers in the Encinas zone of Cumbre del Sol on Friday, May 7, 2021. What a surprise to find out that we have a new trapping team named Karrie and Trevor Lott. Karrie filed this report: "Tina loaned us one of the metal cat traps. We didn’t feed our regular feral visitors the night before, even though I found this very hard not to. However, we were very lucky in the morning.  We were able to trap BIG EARS, a name that we had given to this feral cat. Big Ears went straight away for the tuna. trapped big ears (as we named him) straight away with the tuna. We actually thought he was a ‘she’!  We drove straight to the vets by 10:00. We were surprised when informed by the vet that Big Ears was a male because we had thought it to be a female!! 😄 By 13:00, the vet was ready for us to pick up Big Ears. He was quite happy in his cage. At 19:00 we left him food next to the cage but wasn’t in a rush to escape. Ev...
