CAS was founded in 1986 as a registered charity for the sole purpose of helping abandoned and maltreated animals
Over the years, CAS has re-homed several thousand animals in the Costal del Sol region.
3 years ago, CAS linked itself with the Dutch charity, HzH, and has homed over two hundred dogs in the Netherlands. Several hundred more have gone to Germany with the help of a local German charity.
CAS is often approached by people who despair of the behaviour of some dog owners. We give as much advice as we can and we can always let people have a copy of the Andalucian Law for Animal Protection. Advice on the care of cats and kittens is also provided.
CAS has arrangements with 3 local kennels, whose owners have agreed to house abandoned & abused dogs and cats for a reduced rate. The kennel owners have a wealth of advice & information on the care of animals - freely available to the public.
All of the work of CAS is carried out by volunteers. This work includes :-
Attending to legal & bureaucratic matters, including finance; producing a large range of publications; liaising with the local press, radios, police & Town Halls; arranging fund raising events; answering telephone & email enquiries; managing the CAS Website on a daily basis; collecting dogs and cats from one location and taking them to other locations (vets, kennels, foster homes, airports etc); making jams and pickles etc. for sale; staffing the CAS Office for 3 hours per day, six days a week; liaising with Dutch and German charities as well as other local organisations; running the weekly Sunday Market Stall in Nerja; collecting and sorting clothing and bric-a-brac etc donated to CAS; processing membership applications and recruiting businesses to participate in the CAS Discount Scheme; managing the CAS Fostering Programme.
