Welcome


For Our CumbreCats

The Cumbre Cats Control Campaign is a Private Citizen Initiative created by a group of Concerned Residents from the urbanisation of Benitachell called Cumbre del Sol, Alicante, in June, 2020.

The group of combined residents created this Campaign in order to TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) the cats that have been abandoned by previous owners, for whatever reason.

The goal is to co ordinate directly with the local veterinarian in Benitachell (Alicante). The vet charges 65 euros for a female and 33 euros for a male to be neutered and eartipped. 




The campaign is comprised of two teams of private community citizens - the trappers and the fundraisers.

A centralised PayPal account collects donations from private citizens in order to fund the humane neutering services by the veterinarian.

All cash donations are delivered to Centro Veterinario Verónica Català Pascual, who in return awards the Campaign with a Receipt of Payment in order to track all funds utilised for neutering services. 

💗 OSITO was the Inaugural CumbreCat for this Campaign. 💗



This grey kitten, which was found by local resident Rebecca, had inflamed eyes. He was the first cat to be taken to Veronica the village vet on May 28, 2020. This event sparked the friendship and neutering campaign for the feral cat population on Cumbre del Sol.

On June 1, 2020 the CumbreCats Control Campaign and website was initiated. 

On April 27, 2021, OSITO was a victim of a hit and run accident and the result of this negligent person ended his life. The driver just ran him over and didn't stop.

He will be missed.

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...
