ARCHIVED - Cruz Azul For Pets animal FUNdraiser in Los Alcazares a huge success
Cruz Azul Murcia’s recent event in Los Alcázares raised an amazing 784 euros
The Murcia charity Cruz Azul For Pets had a very successful fundraiser in Los Alcázares last Wednesday, February 9, raising 784 euros.
“We are overwhelmed by the generosity of local businesses, and the public, during what are still tough times for everyone,” said Cruz Azul President, Lyn Baines.
Entertainment was provided by Spangles Ladies’ Harmony Chorus who sang for supporters during the intervals in the fundraiser.
What does Cruz Azul do to help animals in Spain?
Back in May 2013, Spain was suffering a deep financial crisis, with people losing their jobs and their homes. This led to an increase in abandoned pets because people could not afford vet fees if their pets needed treatment.
This was the catalyst for Lyn Baines and Sue Thomason to do something about that, so they created Cruz Azul Murcia to help pet owners on low incomes with vet fees in order they continued to care for their animals. The aim is to promote responsible pet ownership.
Cruz Azul has since expanded into other areas, such as managing cat colonies and emergency treatment for injured and abandoned animals. Cruz Azul work closely with a cat charity in Torre Pacheco and another in Sucina. Both are doing some remarkable work to keep down the cat population in a manageable way.
The Sucina project is a prime example to show that trapping, neutering and returning the cats does work. They started seven years ago, against considerable opposition, but their perseverance has really paid off; they haven’t had any new kittens or cats for 18 months and everyone in the village is now on board with the scheme.
Cruz Azul opened their donation centre in San Javier to help raise funds to support the work they do and they are ever-grateful to the small band of volunteers, headed up by Lesley Taylor, who work tirelessly to ensure a pleasant shopping experience for all of their customers and to everyone who donates goods to sell.
Cruz Azul is holding another fundraiser at the Tataki Restaurant in Los Alcázares on Monday March 28, which will be a ‘Quiz & Curry’ starting at 2.30pm which promises to be another great day out to raise money for a good cause. Places are limited, so email info@cruzazulmurcia.com if you would like to reserve tickets.
Cruz Azul Murcia is a registered charity (No. 11.720/1a) and exists to provide veterinary care for the sick and injured pets of people in need and to promote responsible pet ownership. If you or someone you know needs help, or you would like to volunteer or donate, please call 693 017 616 or email info@cruzazulmurcia.com.
