Story
Above is a photo of Rocky Blue, a terribly sick and thin, stray cat. He was found wondering the streets of Corralejo suffering and alone. Even though he was found and is currently receiving medical treatment, his future is still very uncertain. If he had been found sooner, his chances would have increased. Unfortunately, this is not unusual. Specifically in Corralejo, support and resources are worrying.
Corralejo in Fuerteventura is overrun with stray, abandoned and unwanted cats of all ages. There is one remarkable lady, Lynne 'Catwoman', who does her best to feed, sterilise and care for sick and injured cats, but she is stretched to beyond capacity.
Cats are seen as vermin by many in Fuerteventura, they are frequently left to starve, poisoned or worse. I am fundraising to help the stray cat predicament in Corralejo. I intend to raise enough funds to enable the sterilisation of MANY, MANY cats to help keep the numbers down, reduce the spread of disease and ensure the current cats receive the medical attention and food they so desperately need.
I am looking to raise at least £1200 pounds to enable the sterilisation of at least 30 cats and kittens in Corralejo. Any funds raised above this will be used to sterilise more cats and buy cat food for them. I intend to get receipts from all vet bills to reassure everyone that the money is going to the poor, helpless cats.
All donations welcome. Please share this link far and wide, and together, LET'S MAKE A DIFFERENCE 😸

7 years agoA happy ever after story 💖- Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce Fluffy. I had the pleasure of feeding Fluffy, and her furry friends, at Oasis Dunas over the last 10 days. After a holiday in Fuerteventura, lovely Louise wanted to do her bit to help the wonderful strays. Not only has Louise been fundraising and raising awareness, but also is adopting and rehoming 3 lucky kitties back in the UK. The attached photo is of Fluffy leaving for her new life filled with love and cuddles. I hope you have a wonderful life together Louise and Fluffy xx

I fell in love with a stray cat named Panther, whilst holidaying in Corralejo. I tried adopting him back in the UK, but discovered he was suffering with terminal cancer. We made the heartbreaking decision to put him to sleep. We now want to help many cats like him, in his memory.
