Feed the Stray Cats Campaign: Sharing the Responsibility between Communities
Benitachell, Alicante

The CumbreCats and Gatos Felices is proud to announce the launch of a joint campaign, "Feed the Stray Cats." 

The initiative aims to address the issue of stray cats by raising awareness and funds to ensure that these animals are properly fed and that their caretakers are not always paying! 
Stray cats are a common sight in many places across Spain. While some people view them as a nuisance, others recognize the importance of caring for these animals. 

Unfortunately, it can be difficult for individuals or even one community to take on this responsibility alone.
That's where the "Feed the Stray Cats" campaign comes in. 

The campaign aims to bring together two communities: those who care for the welfare of stray cats and those who want to contribute to this cause. 

By working together, these two communities can help ensure that stray cats are properly fed, and their basic needs are met.
The campaign is built around the idea that small acts of kindness can make a big difference. By donating even a small amount, individuals can help ensure that stray cats have access to food and water. 
"We believe that every animal deserves to be treated with kindness and respect, and that includes stray cats," said Karla Darocas, the CumbreCats spokesperson. 

"By launching the 'Feed the Stray Cats' campaign, we hope to create a sense of community and shared responsibility around this issue. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of these animals."
The campaign is not only a way to help stray cats but also an opportunity for individuals and communities to come together and make a positive impact. 

By working together, we can help ensure that stray cats are given the care they need and deserve.
The Campaign is hosting a Fundraiser Lunch at Pizzeria Antiquary in Benitachell that includes Delicious Pizza, Salad, Tiramisu, Wine, Water and Coffee for only 20 euros. 

Incredible prizes have been donated to the Raffle, so everyone goes home a winner!
All proceeds will go towards buying cat food to be share by all caretaker volunteers in both CumbreCats and Gatos Felices. 

Please note that there is also cat food collection hamper baskets at our local pet food store (Victor's) in the village of Benitachell and at our community supermarket Pepe la Sal on Cumbre del Sol urbanisation.

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...
