Cat colony chaos

A COALITION of cat rescue organisations have come together with Nijar Council in an emergency appeal to rescue a colony of cats who are at risk due to a property development project.

Catnip TNR Worldwide and Asociación Animalista ELEOS announced their joint rescue appeal on Monday, February 6 after a development project began on a piece of land where a colony of cats is living.

Volunteers from both organisations are on the ground attempting to trap the cats and stop them from becoming lost and facing danger. Thankfully volunteers from the groups stopped the machinery which had moved in to begin construction, and 19 cats have been rescued, but donations are needed to rescue a further 20 cats thought to be trapped.

As well as being rescued, the cats will also need medical care, neutering and to find foster homes in the short team.

The organisation has created an online fundraising page to donate to their appeal which can be found at: Urgent appeal to save a feral colony response to the motion presented by Ciudadanos requesting the establishment of a municipal administrative office for the elderly and people with disabilities, which was unanimously approved.

The group also has a Facebook page for more information: Singing Group with no Auditions. Community Choir based in Albox.

The councillor advocated that in these peripheral centres, “preferential attention to these groups, even establishing a specific time slot in the opening hours to facilitate the provision of services demanded by their users.”
