Honey when she was reserved for a new home in Holland last
month but in the end the adoption fell through after our Dutch
partners performed a home check. In cases where animals are
rehomed abroad it is that much more important to check out
the potential adopter because if things do not work out, the
dog cannot be returned once it flies to another country.
need, primarily to vet bills and kenneling costs. The CAS Shop
is at No. 2 Calle Castilla Perez, Nerja. Our opening hours are
Monday to Saturday from 10am to 2pm. CAS is always eager to
hear from people who are interested in becoming shop
volunteers. One four hour shift once a week makes a big
difference. There are always two volunteers per shift making
for a safe, relaxed, congenial environment. For more
information please stop by the shop and ask to speak with our
shop manager May Delaney.
Honey is a happy dog who loves her cuddles and gets along
great with others as she is playful and not a dominant
personality. She is about one and a half years old and now that
she has matured will be spayed later this month. Honey is quite
affectionate so we think she would make a wonderful addition
to any family.
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.

CAS Cat News
Each month CAS allocates €500 to help the homeless kitten
and cat population in Nerja, Maro and the surrounding
countryside. Unfortunately in the process of rescuing our
feline friends and providing for the stable cat colonies that we
are aware of, those funds are quickly exhausted. Examples of
costs incurred include: food, blood tests, neutering,
vaccinations, treatment for worms, fleas and ticks,
microchipping and providing the cats with passports for
rehoming abroad. If foster homes cannot be found, kenneling
costs can quickly escalate. Thus, the adding machine tape runs
on and on.
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]. You can also make a
financial contribution earmarked for the cat account. Meow!
