Nerja Residents Day
couldn’t bear to separate the two.
Be on the lookout for the Costa Animal Society (CAS) at the
Nerja Residents Day on Sunday April 8. The event will be held
at the Plaza de España just behind the town hall. We will have
a tombola and information booth as well as a stall featuring
English food to be washed down with water, sodas, beer and
wine. Residents Day is always a fun day out for the entire
family with a full calendar of entertainment organised by the
town hall. Visit the numerous stalls and food venues put on by
local clubs, charities and small businesses and sample the
culture and cuisine from a variety of foreign residents who live
in Nerja. The event runs from 12 noon to 5.00pm. In the event
of inclement weather, Residents Day will be held the following
Sunday.
Marina is another story that CAS
shared online which resulted in her
being rehomed in England. She had
been found last winter after being hit
by a car and left on the side of the
road with severe injuries. Marina’s leg
was broken in several places plus she
had a ruptured bladder and a
perforated intestine, all three of which
required major surgery.
After spending several months recuperating in foster care she
made a complete recovery and was ready for adoption by the
end of February. A kind lady in the Doncaster area read about
Marina’s ordeal and offered to provide a good home for her
there. After a home check was performed by a UK based
charity Marina’s transportation was arranged and she was
flown to her new life at the
end of March.
Bella
Happy Tails
March began on the right paw with several CAS rescues
finding new homes in places
far away. To start things off
our wonderful Punki began
her new life with a retired
lady in Granada Province
where she has settled
comfortably in the campo
with several cat siblings.
Soon afterwards the lovely
Rosie flew to her new
forever family in Norway

after she finally completed
the long preparation process
required for travel to Nordic countries.
Finally, Bella and Lobo’s
story is one CAS has to
deal with more often than
they should. Apparently,
they had been taken in as
young pups by European
expats with good
intentions but when things
became financially difficult
they had to move back to their
home country. Rather than
contact CAS in advance the
expats left the two dogs in the
rental property after they moved
out with little more than a note
and a small donation. Again CAS
shared their story on Facebook
and Bella has been adopted by a
young family from
Benalmadena.
Continuing the Granada theme,
Marmalade the cat, who had
wandered into a CAS volunteer’s
house in early February and stayed,
joined a menagerie of three dogs and
two other cats when he was taken in
by a bohemian couple who live in the
Sierra Nevada foothills.
And to our great pleasure, young
Daisy and Alba, who are two very
cute Podenco
sisters, were
adopted by a
couple from
Motril after their
story was shared
by CAS on social
media. It is a
rarity for animal
Alba
charities to be able

Lobo
Unfortunately, as stated before it
is very difficult to rehome two dogs together so Lobo is still on
the market. Please feel free to contact Kurt or Laura at 95 252
1426 or Fiona on the CAS website, www.casnerja.org, or the
CAS Facebook page if you would like to meet Lobo or any of
our other rescue cats and dogs.
