 Hello everyone! 🌟  We are the CumbreCats volunteers who have been working for the past 5 years to help 500 cats in La Cumbre .  We, with the backup of the local government, have established official cat colonies , easily recognizable by yellow signs with explanations in 3 languages. Our goal is to trap, neuter, and feed these cats, who contribute to the biological balance in La Cumbre by hunting rats and controlling the rodent population .  According to the law, if you have any problems with the cats or the colonies, you must contact the Benitachell Town Hall .  We have created colonies throughout La Cumbre and are looking for more volunteers. Join us! You will receive a special course and a municipal certificate . A cat deserves respect and a colony can not be taken away once it has been recognized! 😺  Thank you for your support!
