FEBRUARY 2023 - FUNDING REPORT

On behalf of the CumbreCats Trap-Neuter-Return Campaign, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to our wonderful community for your continued financial support. 

Because of loose change donated by 3 residents, and the Collection Cans from Pepe la Sal, the Farmacia, Victors Pet food store, MariPaz's restaurant and Veronica the vets, we rounded up 792 euros over the holidays. 

Then we received a donation of 810 euros from AVID, Our Neighborhood Association for the promotion of the multicultural community in Benitachell, and the exchange of interests and information between the owners, the local authorities and VAPF.

You can learn more about this community group by visiting their website - https://www.avib.org/en/

Your contributions have allowed us to move forward with our mission to bring about positive and healthy results for the feral cats in our community, and to promote solidarity among our residents.

Through your generosity, we have been able to carry out our TNR program, which has been instrumental in controlling the feral cat population in our area. 

We have been able to trap, neuter, and return many cats to their colonies, preventing the birth of countless litters of kittens and reducing the number of cats that would otherwise be roaming the streets. 

This program has not only been beneficial to the cats themselves but has also had a positive impact on the community by reducing nuisance behaviors and preventing the spread of disease.

We cannot thank you enough for your support and your commitment to the well-being of our feline friends. 

In addition, we would like to remind you that this is our official website. It is the go-to resource for information about our program, and all financial accountability is posted and archived here. We believe in complete transparency and want to make sure that you know exactly how your donations are being used.

Once again, thank you so much for your continued support. Your generosity is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to working with you to make our community a better place for both people and cats.

We would like to invite you to stay in touch with us and to continue to support our efforts. 

We are currently planning an Easter party, and we would love to have you join us for the festivities.

Have a purrrrfect day

AUGUST 26, 2024 🐾 TRAPPING & WATER REPORT 🐾

"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...
