PLEA FOR HELP
EURO WEEKLY NEWS reader, Kim Pearce from Torrevieja, recently emailed us, asking for help. She attached a Facebook post from Torrevieja Cat Adoption, a volunteer group who help at the local Alber gue Municipal animal shelter. “We need more money,” the post declared, showing photos of receipts for the spe cial food and medicines that fosterers have paid for. “Our dedicated foster car ers are taking care of animals for whose care, health and welfare the town hall is re sponsible,” Torrevieja Cat Adoption pointed out. “If it were not for the gener ous people who make money donations, I don’t know how we would manage,” a volun teer said. “Any Euro Weekly News help in raising awareness would be great,” Kim suggest ed.

SIMBA: Raised by a Torrevieja fosterer and happily rehomed.
This was not the first time that Shelter volunteers have contacted us, and the Euro Weekly News has previously approached the Animal Pro tection department for a comment. Our reporter spoke on two occasions to a town hall em
ployee who said that the Shel ter’s allocation was generous compared with other munici palities. He added that there were always problems with the number of cats the Shel ter has to look after, and kit tens in particular. He also said that the person
we needed to speak to was Animal Protection councillor Concha Sala and that he would arrange for her to ring us. We are still waiting for the phone call, so will try again. Perhaps on this occasion it will be “third time lucky.”
