kenneling costs. The CAS Shop is at the top of Calle Castilla
Perez, Nerja. Our opening hours are Mon-Sat 10am to 2.00pm.
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.
Quiz Master Wanted!
Sadly, the tenure of the energetic,
entertaining quiz master Terry has
come to an end. He and the missus
miss their native Mongolia, the wild
horses, the steppes, the crazy huts, the
crazy speak, etc. We wish you well!
To appreciate Terry’s contribution, the
Costa Animal Society (CAS) quiz which
is held monthly at the Punta Lara Bar
brings in around €250-300. That
amounts to €3000 per year. Wow! To
put that in perspective, those monies
will fund the sterilizations of 20-30 cats
and 20-30 dogs. What a difference that
makes.
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
In an urbanization in Nerja, a kind-hearted woman has been
looking after a small colony of homeless cats. Two of the
rascals, Polly and Pinky Toe
would apparently love to be
homed (they often follow our
Good Samaritan to her house).
They are both about nine-
months old and have been
sterilized and will be vaccinated
before adoption. They are
lovely, healthy cats and would
make a wonderful addition to
any household. Life on the
streets for a homeless cat is one
Pinky Toe
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

CAS Shop News
By now, hopefully, you’ve broken the last unintended sweat of
2019. The CAS shop volunteers have been hard at work
restocking our shelves with the unthinkable: apparel to keep
you warm! Trousers, sweaters, possibly the odd muffler are all
on offer. From clothing and accessories to linen, books, DVDs,
bric-á-brac, electrics, decorative works, etc., there is a fantastic
selection of merchandise to peruse, all priced to move. The
shop’s large inventory is clean and well-presented with a
friendly staff of volunteers on hand to help. The CAS shop
welcomes all donations of clothing and accessories. Please help
us to restock our shelves. All shop proceeds go directly to
helping our animal friends in need, primarily to vet bills and
