Yesterday Almerimar lost one of its long-term port cats. This from Pam Roberts:

“Yesterday was a very sad day for me – Squeak – the little Siamese Cat who lived by the Banco de Andalucia – had been missing for 5 days.”

Almerimar Strays now has a weekly newsletter. It arrives as an email, and is a great way to catch up on all the news and photos that I post on my blog, and make sure you don’t miss anything. The newsletter sumarises all the articles for that week, and you can then decide whether to read the full article or look at photos on the blog.

Chris arranged for a journalist that he knows (Matthew Pritchard) from Costa Almería News to interview me the other day about the work we have been doing with the strays here in Almerimar.

When you read the article you would think that there is only me doing the work, which is so obviously not true, but as Chris says you can’t control how the journalist presents the story.

Just read this on David’s Blog which doesn’t sound very encouraging:

Roquetas town hall has taken advantage of a renegotiation with the private company that runs its stray animal shelter to cut its budget in half, this year to only €75,000, as part of its 2009 Austerity Budget.

I’ve just had the list from Germany of the cats that will leave the cat rescue home in mid-December and it looks like all the strays we took there from Almerimar will be going to new foster homes, which is great news.

Just when I thought things were quiet on the cat front for a couple of weeks some new problems arose. Firstly Dawn and Nick who are fostering 2 of the Casa kittens had to rush back to the UK for a few days. I’d like to say a big thank you to Tracy for taking Lulu and Coreena in and adding them to the 3 she is already looking after. They are now back with Dawn and still being well spoilt I am sure.
