Pets - Dogs APASA Following on the independent work of Marjorie DarcyStephens and Beryl ‘Serena’ Stanyer’s Animal Sanctuary, a new APASA Association was created to have responsibility for the Municipal Dog Pound, when the disgraceful facilities close to the river bed became more widely known. APASA receives a grant from the Town Hall but depends on volunteer help and money. It has a ‘charity shop’ on the Ctra. Cabo de la Nao.

Cats Jávea Feral Cat Assn. Established as legal charity in August 2009, but with long history reducing the number. Operates a Trap-NeuterReturn programme, catching feral cats in automatic traps, takes them to the vet for neutering and then return them to where they were found. Traps loaned to anyone who needs to get feral garden cats neutered and the operation can often be at a reduced cost. Blood tests so that no diseased cat is returned to the feral cat community. Always looking for homes for kittens. Relies for financial help on the public as receives no money from the ayuntamiento. In 2 years, they have caught over 600 cats! www.javeaferalcats.org liz@javeaferalcats.org Vets There are many ‘vets’ in Jávea.

December 2011 24h service Centre veterinari PETITONS Av.Jaume1, 25, Els Poblets Tel: 96 647 5469 24h: 630 177 395 Fleas Fleas are commonplace and Frontline can usually prevent their breeding. Ticks - Garapatas Ticks can be small and black, or larger and grey/green in colour. They feed on an animal’s blood, much like the Mosquito with humans. Leishmaniasis This ‘notifiable’ disease is caused when a healthy dog is bitten by an infected sand fly. The vet can help you. Vaccinations Vaccinations give your pet the best chance of a long and healthy life. The Town Hall offers vaccination against rabies. Pet Passport Pets now have the same right of relocation within the EU as humans. There is a delay of 6 months with vaccinations and blood tests to prove the animal is not a danger in another location. Pine Trees Pollen from pine trees will be a major problem to anyone suffering from hay fever, from as early as March, each year. Needles & Caterpillars The strange ‘pear-shaped’ bags hanging from pine trees that look as though they have been created by over-active spiders, are the day-time resting place of caterpillars that graze on pine needles at night. The adult, as a moth, lays around 300 eggs in August that hatch a month later. When fully grown, the Caterpillars can be seen in a procession, as if holding each other’s tail with their own head, and have a poisonous protein on every hair of their body, as they search - usually during March - for soft soil in which to pupate. Contact with human skin can produce extreme redness and swelling and any pet which disturbs a procession should be immediately taken to a Vet. It is said, that by removing pine tree branches below 3 metres (but DO NOT cut them where there are baskets of these enemies) protects the tree because the feeble female moth cannot fly that high.
