Cat of the week
After coming to the UK last year little Chica is still looking for a new home, she is a great cat, loves to play and have some attention. Ideal,y she is looking for a home of her own but she lived with some of our farm cats and after the first few weeks of hissing at the other cats she did begin to mix in with them all at meal times with no problems.As she can be a little over excited she would be better in a home with no small children. She loves people. Is there anyone out there can offer her a home.
Thank you so very much to our kind and ca
reing members for adopting some of our cats and making a few hopes and dreams come true.
If you can offer this please get in touch with Alun at twinkletrust@btinternet.com or
Jenny at twinkletrust@aol.com
Home checks and adoption contracts apply.
"Lilly & Maurice were left for dead"
These 2 adorable, affectionate young cats were recently discovered by a dog as it was being walked.They had been forced into a kit bag which was then zipped up and tied !!. They had been dumped on waste ground near an industrail estate,close to the perrera (dog pound) in Puerto del Rosario. If they had not been found when they were, they would have died a slow, very horrible death.
Can anyone help us pay for their medical bills and for them to be spayed and castrated.We would love to find them a kind, loving home together but we will seperate them if either have the chance of true happiness.
Please contact Jenny if you can help give Lilly and Maurice a happy ending.They are coming to the UK soon and it would be wonderful if they could find a loving home after all they have been through.

Twinkle still as busy as ever.
Since 1995, twice a year Twinkle has carried out large scale feral cat neutering campaigns but neutering aside,we are busy all year through.
In the last 6 weeks we have rescued, treated, sterilised & rehomed many cats in Fuertevetura. On 18th April, 8 lucky cats arrived in the UK to start life in homes of their own.
Thank you to everyone involved.
Harbour cats in danger!
Over the last couple of weeks, several cats that have lived for years around the harbour in Caleta de Fuste have been found in the sea, unable to climb out. One sweet cat had been in the water all night when he was found he was in shock and suffering from hypothermia, it took the vet 3 days to stabilise him and a further week of TLC to help him recover.Now some of the cats from the harbour have gone missing. Most of the attacks on the cats have taken place at night. Please contact Muriel on 637528783 or Jenny on 0044-7958990471,if you see anyone acting suspicious or harming these cats,take a photo if possible and send it to us, we can use this in legal actions. We will endevour to identify this person & take legal action against the person responsible.
April 29th Another cat from the harbour was found dead today,believed to have been poisoned. Local police have taken the cat and surrounding food for investigation.
April 28th The local police have been carrying out investigations and are still conducting interviews.
April 21st We would like to thank all our members,local residents, hotels and businesses for their help and support in this matter.
5 Lucky cats now have new homes.

Our Autumn Homeless Cat Neutering Campiagn - Completed.
To prevent more unwanted,neglected kittens from being born into a life of pain and suffering we still need to carry out our large scale neutering campaigns as often as we can.
On November 23rd 2011, the Twinkle volunteers carried out our usual neutering campaign.
In total 306 cats were sterilised, some of which had additional non-routine procedures and an extra 13 cats received treatment only.
Thanks to hard work,dedication and a great team spirit, the campiagn was an amazing success.

Kittens abandoned in August 2011
- they are still looking for a new home -
!
Adorable cat & kittens get dumped in the ground of hotel's ! What these thoughtless people do not think about is the reaction of the hotel management and guest's. Sometimes we were called to remove them before they became a problem at the hotel. Many of the hotels that we work with will tolerate a limited number of sterilised cats but if cats and kittens keep being abandoned in their grounds the hotel's could soon be overcome with cats and ban them completley.
Twinkle is not a rehoming centre and cannot take in all the cat's that need help,so we urge these people that keep abandoning their 'pets' to STOP and think about the consequences' of their actions.

Twinkle's Work
Catch/Neuter/Release
Since 1995, Twinkle has carried out a neutering campaign every Spring and Autumn, the aim of Twinkle is to humanely manage the stray and homeless cat population by sterilising as many as we can afford to. Although during our emergency cat rescues and campaigns we do at times end up taking a cat or kitten into our facility, but this is only when the animals life is at risk. There is a lack of good homes offered in Fuerteventura and the cost of rehoming cats to the UK is impractical as a standard method of rehoming and is reserved only for special need cats and very desperate cases.
Unfortunately we cannot take in or rehome cats. Quite simple, we don't have the resources' to do this, as well as doing our best to keep the stray cat population manageable, we also provide dry cat food at our purpose built cat cafes which are maintained with the help of a couple of caring local volunteers.
If you have a pet cat or dog, it should be treated as part of the family.
Feed it, nuture it, sterilise it, love it and look after it!
Do you have an apartment, house or villa we could use?
In November 2012 Twinkle will be carrying out the Spring feral cat neutering campaign, during this week we will sterilise and treat 100's of homeless cats and kittens.
Volunteers will be working around the clock as always, trying to reach as many needy cats as we can during this week. Its one week of hard work, with many highs and lows but the end result of less homeless kittens and sick cats is so worth it.
We are trying to make every penny we raise stretch as far as we can,which is why it would really help us, if you could accommodate the volunteer veterinary team during the month of November 2012. We will pay for the electricity and water used for our stay.
If you can help please contact:
Jenny at twinkletrust@aol.com, tel: 07958-990471
We will make sure the accommodation is clean and sparkling when we leave.
