CumbreCats TNR and Rescue

COMMUNITY COMPASSION  The humane treatment of stray cats is a fundamental responsibility that requires compassion, education and proactive measures to ensure their welfare.  It is wonderful to realise that together we have created a community where stray cats are treated with kindness and respect, ultimately improving their quality of life and reducing the population of homeless cats. POOR PUSSY HAD A BAD PAW Trapper Report: "Once again our CumbreCat caretaker in the Monte Cala area had to use her homemade trap to capture an injured cat. A fluffy grey CumbreCat, already neutered, was discovered with a badly swollen paw. He was limping and licking his paw. The caretaker first tried the normal trap, but the cat gave the trap a wide berth to avoid it. He trusted the caretaker, so she could approach him. While he was eating, she was able to catch him with her self-made trap. She immediately called me to help transfer him to the metal box. The next morning he was taken to Veronica,...

WOW, WHAT AN AMAZING ACHIEVEMENT!  Thanks to the incredible generosity of the wonderful people who attended our fundraiser lunch, a whopping €324 was raised. Today, it was used to purchase high quality cat food from the fantastic Victor's in the charming village of Benitachell, who allows us to leave a cat food donation basket right at their front door! The Victor's staff were absolutely fantastic and tirelessly filled bag after bag of delicious and nutritious cat food. They even helped load everything into the car.  The grand total? An impressive 280 kilogrammes of cat food! Thanks to this incredible effort, we can split the food equally between our beloved CumbreCats and the village cats of the amazing organisation Gatos Felices.  This is truly an outstanding result that would not have been possible without the support and kindness of everyone involved. Congratulations and a big thank you to everyone who made this possible! ** TRAPPING FOR PARASITES Trapper's Report: ...

TREATING OUR CUMBRECATS WITH CARE Trapper's Report "As many of you know, it is always very difficult to get a cat that has already been caught into a trap a second time. Nevertheless, I tried again. The poor CumbreCat has been having problems with parasites for some time now, and they are massively bothering him. But mostly they are so cautious and fearful that you can not treat them without trapping them. Equipped with all kinds of fish and tasty treats, I started my attempt. One difficulty is that in Begonias, there is an already neutered female, and she is totally greedy and has absolutely no fear of anything. When she smells something to eat, she always runs into any trap. So I have to keep her busy so that the focused cat has enough time to go into the trap. However, since I trapped his friend a couple of weeks ago, and he did not come back, he was very wary. For your information, his friend was very sick and had to be put down. The focal one danced around the trap, half ...
