Lisa – A Beautiful Abandoned Cat

May 23, 2012 – 10:34 pm | 12 views

Lisa hasn’t had the best couple of months. She is 6 years old and until recently had I assume a contented apartment life as the only cat of an English man. Unfortunately her owner seems to have got into financial difficulties and disappeared leaving Lisa alone in the apartment for we think about 2 weeks, just with some food and water. She was found when …

Successful Fund-raiser

April 26, 2009 – 6:49 pm | One Comment | 96 views

Well done to Pam for having another very successful book sale to put Almerimar Strays back in the black! Yesterday raised another 180€ to help more cats here in Almerimar.
We now have a great process for re-homing the tamer stray cats, and with great prices from local vets and money coming back from Germany for each cat homed, each cat is costing us less …

Plan For This Week

UPDATE: 22/04/09 17:00
Great news! Tommy now has a foster home with Nicola and Erika and is out of his cage and enjoying a nice meaty meal. Now I just hope he settles into apartment life as he has been a street cat for several years. Being FIV positive, the outdoor life is not longer an option for him. If things are looking good he will …

Plans For This Week

OK this week is now organised. Pam and I did try and catch another pregnant female this morning but she was unusually skittish so we are resigned to the fact that more kittens are coming. We are hoping she will have them on one of the boats and we may be able to find them earlier enough to (I’m sorry) destroy them. This HAS to …

Great coffee yesterday afternoon with all our foster parents and helpers there together for the first time. We had a good chat and wine followed coffee for most of us, and it was a good chance as always to discuss what we need to do next.
Monday needed sorting re. logistics as we are hoping to catch and sterilise 2 more of our semi-feral females. I …

Yesterday afternoon we had our first Almerimar cats coffee, in the Milenio. I’m hoping that we’ll get together most weeks and Wednesday at 4pm seems to be the agreed time. Yesterday we met at 5pm and coffee was followed by glasses of wine, and a good girlie chat was had by all AND we even managed to talk a little about plans to help the …

Drink At Casa de los Gatos

Gisela has invited those of us that have helped with La Casa and the Strays up for tapas and a drink and to meet her daughter on Tuesday 2nd at 2pm.
I am going for sure as I feel bad that no one managed to go for the BBQ she arranged in the summer for us, and I know that she really enjoyed and appreciated …

Almerimar Life Strays Coffee

November 27, 2008 – 4:35 pm | 5 Comments | 127 views

I was thinking that maybe it would be a good idea if those of us involved in helping the strays in Almerimar got together once a week to touch base, make sure we know who is doing what, and have a bit of fun!!!!
Nothing too formal or structured but having just about got to the end of the ‘Casa Crisis’ it makes sense to see …

Lunch With Gisela

Yesterday we invited Gisela, the German lady who runs the cat rescue home, to have lunch with us in Almerimar and to visit all the cats and kittens here. Whilst Gisela was in hospital recently we brought some of her kittens back to foster homes in Almerimar and 7 of them are still here, so naturally she wanted to see them, particularly as 3 she …
