MAY 18 - TREATMENT & RAINBOW REPORTS

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, the vet, who cleaned and treated his badly injured paw. He was also given some painkillers and antibiotics.

He was taken back to his carer's house where he was taken out of the transport box and allowed to recover in a safe, quiet room in her house.

The next morning he relaxed in this room until he was taken outside. The caretaker will watch him every day to see if his wound is healing. 

This is mercy in action, and we are grateful for the kindness of this caretaker."



RAINBOW BRIDGE

The caretaker in the Pueblo de la Luz zone noticed that an old, tabby CumbreCat had moved into her garden to have a safe place for her last moments in peace.

The caretaker called Arturo from the town hall to take the body to be cremated.

Arturo arrived and performed a good service for which we are very grateful.

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...
