a person who rescues an animal to foster it until another
solution can be found. This has become necessary because all
the local animal organisations are stretched to the limit in
terms of funding, manpower and space and there simply is no
place for a rescued pet to go other than the pound in Rincon
de la Victoria, not a good option.

If you are looking to adopt and dog or
cat or perhaps willing to foster a pet please contact Kurt and
Laura at 95 252 1426 or Fiona through the CAS website,
https://casnerja.webs.com, or via Facebook at /casnerja
Reputable local charities will organise vet treatment,
vaccinations and neutering for the animal and will often
provide food and bedding whilst it is being fostered. All CAS
asks in return for the work and countless hours put in by their
volunteers is for the rescuer/fosterer to provide a safe place for
the doggie or moggie until a more permanent place can be
found and for the lines of communication be kept open with
the charity.
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, more fundraisers are needed to
work with our team. In addition, fosterers are
always required to take short-term care of
animals until a permanent home can be
found for them. Even if you are only here for
few months a year, CAS would appreciate
your help. For a no-obligation chat, contact
Vera on 95 252 9670 for general enquiries.
Simone on 619 903 815 can answer queries
about airport runs in English, German or
Spanish.
In the meantime, CAS will advertise the pet for a new home,
both in Spain and other European countries; however, this
process takes time and effort. Once a match is made CAS will
arrange for the prospective new owners to meet the waif (when
possible) and work towards finalising the adoption. If the foster
person decides to keep the dog or cat for themselves or finds a
new home on their own, it is imperative that this be made
known to the charity as soon as possible to reduce wasted time
and hours spent in finding places for animals that are no
longer available. By working together in concert, the charities
and rescuers/fosterers can make a real difference in the lives of
abandoned animals seeking forever homes.
And despite the tough times and
uncertainties, 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.

Ready for Adoption
Sometimes when a pet comes into your life it can only be
described as kismet. On one difficult day when a family’s ten-
year-old tuxedo cat was killed by a dog they were looking after
for a friend, a wee waif was found in the garage of the family
