While we spend a lot of time
highlighting dogs in need of
homes CAS is equally
committed to the care of cats.
To give you an idea of what we
do, I am going to simply quote
the October cat report from
Fiona:
Life on the streets for a homeless cat is one of constant danger
and a tireless quest for food and shelter. If you would like to be
part of our team helping to shepherd these lovely animals
from the mean streets to loving, forever homes please contact
Fiona via [email protected]
Pipa and Mila
Sidney was an already neutered
cat who turned up at a holiday
rental home between Nerja and Frigiliana. The holidaymakers
established from neighbours that his owners had moved away
deliberately leaving him behind to fend for himself. As it was
late in the season they didn’t like the idea of him being left
alone there after they departed so they contacted CAS. CAS
helped them to get the cat ready for a home and then, once
they decided to adopt him, put him into kennels until he could
be transported to them back in the UK.
Could you help?
CAS is always in need of more volunteer
helpers in a number of areas so if you have
spare time to fill, please make contact! In
particular, we are currently seeking someone
who can help with fundraising and social
media promotion. In addition, fosterers are
always required to take short-term care of
animals until a permanent home can be
found. CAS provides fosterers with all they
need: food, medicine, bedding, leads, etc., as
well as advice at any time. Even if you are
only here for few months a year, CAS would
appreciate your help. For a no-obligation
chat, contact CAS President Vera Newing on
95 252 9670. And despite the uncertainties
of Brexit among other things, money is
always needed to cope with the continuous
flow of abandoned dogs and cats requiring
help from CAS. If you could donate a
little to help the animals, CAS would be
most grateful.

Pipa, Mila, Freddie, Felix and Evie were all young kittens found
together with their mums in the Rio Seco in Nerja, away from
anywhere where they could receive food. An urgent rescue was
therefore undertaken in which the mums were both neutered
and then placed in a well looked after colony and the kittens
were taken and fostered. Unfortunately, they were found to all
have ringworm so had to be kept isolated and treated. All were
soon cured and now have loving homes.
Tabitha was a tiny young kitten whose mum had been
frightened away by a dog. When the mother failed to return to
her, the dog’s owner contacted CAS for help. The kitten was
collected and placed with a fosterer for bottle feeding as she
was just days old. She’s now five-weeks old and has a home
waiting for her.
Bagheera was another little kitten who turned up abandoned
by his mother at a holiday home in Nerja. Luckily, he was
extremely tame and the finders were able to take some
beautiful photos of him so he was very quickly homed. The
two females (Tokyo and Marble) of the three tame kittens
found at a cat feeding station in Nerja have now been adopted.
But we are desperate for a
home for poor Ruby who was
found abandoned with her
brothers. They were all placed
in a foster home and the boys
have all been adopted but poor
Ruby is still waiting for a home.
She is absolutely gorgeous, very
loving, used to dogs and
children and has now been
neutered.

Finally, the three young kittens that Kurt of Seacrest kennels
found in a bag in a bin shortly before the bins were emptied
went to Expedito’s vets in Nerja. They were all adopted
together by someone who’d gone in hoping to adopt two but
then couldn’t bear to leave the third one alone there. So
another success.
And there is now a fundraiser for the Mum and two kittens,
each blind in one eye, from Capistrano who were homed and
then found to have FELV (Feline Leukaemia Virus which is
highly infectious to cats and spread via saliva, (grooming,
sharing water, etc). They now need an enclosure to prevent
