A BIG HUG to all who came out to support the CumbreCats. It was a purrrfect morning with lots of sunshine and smiling faces. We raised 783 euros!!! Head Team Trapper Tina and her marvelous Mathias were in full action mode with their books, cards and mugs that are all geared toward the CumbreCats as their inspiration. Everyone fell in love with our beautiful Ariane who was demonstrating how she molds clay into amazing art and she was also taking orders because part of her sales goes towards the CumbreCats. She is on a mission to reach a goal before she donates to us so stay tuned. Good for Her!! Go Ariane!!   Benitachell painter / artist Frances was enjoying her Meet & Greet with other local artists as she worked on a painting to add to her magnificient collection. She donated a very lovely painting of Venice to the Tombola that was proudly won and she was thrilled to contribute to the CumbreCats. The top Pet Portrait Painter in the region was on hand to showcase his works and M...

UPDATES  IN TRAPPING NEWS Last Wednesday, September 15, 2021, trapper Florence was out in the Magnolias zone looking for the cats who were still not neutered. Florence is a big CumbreCat supporter and cares for many of the feral felines and knows many by name. She did not feed the cats the night before so they were hungry in the morning. The first cat to enter the trap was a black and white boy named Felix.  According to Florence, "He has such a handsome face and entered the trap very quickly and was caught at 9:00. However, he cried a lot because he was a little afraid so another cat already done macho named Tinoir went to him and licked his paws and touched him to calm him down – like a caring parent." A second trap was already prepared with taste pieces of food and it only took another 15 minutes until a beautiful black boy by the name Noiraud, was secure in the trap. Quickly, Florence drove them down to Veronica the vet. After midday she picked them up and let them slee...

Trapping Fall / Winter 2021 started on Monday, September 13 by Head Team Trapper Tina over at the Girasoles zone near the garbage bins at the horse stables / hipica. TINA REPORT: "After the summer break, I started in the early morning to once again start the trapping process. Our area cat feeder was informed not to feed the cats in the evening so that they would be hungry and willing to enter the trap in the morning.  I arrived 15 minutes before feeding time and found 2 hungry machos waited for me. One black cat I noticed was already done. He maybe recognized me because he hide himself at once behind the bushes.  My focus was targeted on a white cat who was surrounding the trap minutes later. After one turn around the trap, he decided to enter because it the food tasted so fine. It was the usual wet food with a piece a fish food. The trigger was covered with newspaper – as always. He ate the first piece and took a few more steps inside. He ate a second piece and took a few mo...
