JULY 710 2023 - TRAPPER & RAINBOW REPORTS

WHO IS THAT KITTY IN THE WINDOW? 

Trapper Report:

"Another new macho cat had appeared in the Olivos zone. Perhaps it had been abandoned, for it was very friendly and used to human touch.

He started visiting my kitchen window and made a habit of coming every morning.

These regular visits to the window led to another "kitchen window trapping opportunity" like I had done before.

I set the trap with food, and he walked through the window straight into the trap, and we drove to the vet. He looked very scruffy and skinny, but Veronica, the vet, said he was fine. Nevertheless, I ordered a blood test at my own expense, just to be sure. It turned out that he was fine, and he was neutered and brought back early in the evening.

Another window trapping completed!"

RAINBOW BRIDGE



Report from Gatos Felices

"This evening we received a phone call from the local police, a cat was hit by a car.

We hurried up to the location and rushed to the emergency vet. Unfortunately the poor boy had passed away on arrival.

It was a feral cat with a cut in the ear, in very good condition and castrated. We checked for a chip just to be sure.

Unfortunately this beautiful black boy is another traffic victim. 😿😿😿

We've informed CumbreCats as this cat was hit by a car at Camelias. They will inform the responsible colony feeder."

"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...
