Some important news about a fabulous feline project that needs your help!
The problem of stray cats has long been a problem in Mallorca. Some 7 years ago, three generous women put their heads together and formed Cat Protection Pollença in an effort to support street cats in their local area. Since then, what started as ad hoc efforts to manage and care for stray cats has grown into a significant operation, now overseeing over 60 cat colonies and 2,000 cats with the help of around 30 volunteers. These volunteers handle everything from feeding and trapping to fostering and fundraising, with no paid staff involved.
With a monthly food bill in excess of 3,000 euros, the organization faces financial difficulties, especially after a major funder withdrew support. They have secured some future funding from the local council, but until March 2025, they are struggling to cover costs.
Not known to sit on their laurels, these fabulous ladies are looking to raise funds by hosting an 80’s night on September 28th, with music, food, and auctions. Tickets for the Club Tropicana Night are 50 euros each and include food and drink, with all profits going directly to the charity. Tickets can be bought at https://www.tickettailor.com/.events/clubtropicana/1319216
