Update on June Visit to Ibiza

Care 4 Cats visit Ibiza twice a year in February and November to humanely control the large numbers of cats on the streets.

In June there was an unscheduled visit by 5 Care 4 Cats team, who, ostensibly on a short holiday, decided they could not ignore a lot of female cats that would shortly be pregnant, so Sue and Dave John, and Deborah and Tracey and Angela, although not all in Ibiza at the same time, decided to do some trapping and neutering with the local Ibiza vets. It was nice to think that another 30 cats were not going to produce offspring as a result.

One sour note was that Angela, going to collect €124 from Penny in Es Cana who had held a sale for us in May, found out that a con woman had already approached Penny saying that she was from Care 4 Cats and had to collect the money raised. Penny gave it to her and that obviously paid for her groceries that week. We suspect this is at least the second time she has done it, and would like to warn people not to give money to a tall, thin, German woman, that rides a bicycle! Please give all monies for Care 4 Cats only to Angela.

To learn more of Care 4 Cats work, they now have a website http://www.care4cats.co.uk/. In about one month’s time there will be a section on it for Donations on line for anyone that would like to contribute to the work. If you’re an animal lover who cares about Ibiza’s cats you can help by becoming a member. Your annual donation will help towards neutering 1 cat – see website for details.

Donations are so important to keep this valuable work going on Ibiza – Can you help?
Do you have a business (bar, hotel, shop) or perhaps a holiday villa you rent out where you could host a care4cats collection tin? It would be a great help in raising money! Please contact Jaki on 625997009
Do you know anyone who travels to Hamburg regularly and could help by taking cats to be re-homed as part of their luggage allowance? No involvement is necessary – care4cats organise it all and the cats are met in Hamburg. If you do please contact Wendy on 971 335226
Can you help as a volunteer on care4cats next trip we need drivers, administrators etc? Or provide old towels or curtains? Just call Jaki on the number above for a chat about how you can help

Next visit is November 9th for 1 week. Calls can be made to me from Sunday 8th in Ibiza on 660 187 591. Please don’t leave a message, as Angela may not have time to call you, so please call again.
