CAS News
CAS Cat Appeal
CAS has been inundated with calls regarding cats “ living rough ” and litters of kittens found beside dumpsters , sometimes having been thrown inside , or abandoned alongside a country road . Despite our long campaign to catch , neuter and return “ wild ” cats to their original environs , there apparently are a horde of tomcats around now who skip the wining and dining and go directly to starting a family . At CAS we give as much consideration to cats as we do to dogs . Especially with kittens , where fostering is essential for their domestication . Given our current situation , we are desperately seeking cat-lovers to help with fostering to bring levels of the homeless feline population into a manageable state . We will provide you with all the help you need and the good news is that cats are in general easier to home than for example large dogs where licences are required and the cost of caring for them is much higher . And , you never know , you may end up falling in love with one .
Christmas Fayre
Thank you to all who attended the first Christmas Fayre held by CAS , hopefully to become an annual tradition . The event , hosted by Fitzgeralds Bar & Restaurant in Nerja , was a success raising over € 500 despite early morning rain . Thank you as well to all the artisans who displayed their wares , great Christmas gifts were to be had , and to the volunteers who baked their hearts out and provided delicious sweets and cakes on what felt like the first day of winter . Well done all ! Upcoming events are always announced via our social media accounts .
