foster couple for about a month. He is a Podenco Maneto with
short legs and weighs about ten kilos and is generally in good
health except that he is positive for Leishmaniasis which only
requires two pills per day at a cost of about €3 per month.
Georgio has an outgoing personality and loves nothing more
than to sit in a café or on your lap. Even though both dogs are
in foster care, they still need to find their forever homes to free
up places for other dogs that would benefit from living in a
home.
Could you help?
Brandi is one such dog who was
rescued by a Danish couple who
were here on holiday. She is a shy
dog, a bit timid, but the couple
slowly gained her confidence and
took care of her for several weeks.
Brandi is a one to two-year-old
small Podenco female who weighs
about ten kilos and is in good health
apart from having flat front feet.
The vet has examined her and says
this does not cause her any pain and
may be corrected with a special diet

as a pup. Whilst in kennels Brandi
has come out of her shell and proven to have a really sweet
disposition and funny personality.
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!
