An example of our rescue operations
our biggest mascot Ferdinando

Ferdinando was found tied to a heavy iron chain in 2020. The chain had already grown deep into the skin on his neck. He had little room to move, no water, no food or shade. The Swiss association “Animal Police” got involved and bought him free. Now he needed a safe place to stay. There aren’t many places in Mallorca where farm animals in distress can recover from an unfortunate past like this one. Jens, the farm owner of Fresopolis, decided to give Ferdinando a home, provide him with food and care and offer this big, peaceful fellow a dignified life. A decision that the entire team is happy about every day to this day. On August 15, 2020, Ferdinando moved into his new, loving home on Fresopolis. But there were still bureaucratic hurdles to be overcome: since no one could provide proof of origin, the authorities suggested that we put Ferdinando to sleep. That wasn’t an option for us. The solution: he was registered as the mascot of Fresopolis. He passed the required health checks, received all the vaccinations required by the authorities, was neutered and given a “dog chip”. Ferdinando is just one example. His story ended well thanks to a good collaboration with other animal rights activists on the island. And of course thanks to the support of our sponsors. Many animals on Mallorca are having the same situation like Ferdinando did. The paradise for many vacationers is at the same time a hell for many animals until we get them out of there and create a new home for them. Most of our animals come from these rescue operations and were once “waste” for the former owners. The food and the care is not for free for us either and so we depend on YOUR help to offer as many other animals as possible a better living space.

sponsoring membership at Fresopolis

an excellent choice

Our project Fresopolis was born out of love for the island and its nature. Our visitors can feel that. Our free-range chickens strut around confidently. They happily provide fresh eggs and, unlike on industrial chicken farms, we do not differentiate between males and females. So even the guys among them grow up relaxed with us - even though they have that annoying habit of calling attention pretty early in the morning.

an important aspect of animal life

Our donkeys stay together all their lives once they have fallen in love. Our sheep, ponies and pot-bellied pigs openly show their happiness about every single visit, and our guinea pigs and rabbits get along well together, too. It’s just like a big family living in harmony together.

Animal protection in Mallorca

Animal welfare in Mallorca

As a Fresopolian, you also support our rescue efforts

Unfortunately, not all animals that are born on this beautiful island are lucky enough to grow up in harmonious and species-appropriate conditions right from the start. Again and again we receive calls for help from other animal welfare organizations and private individuals. Sometimes it’s about abandoned animals that stray along busy country roads, sometimes about animals that are completely lacking in everything. These animals are often malnourished, have deficiency symptoms and require special care. These are not only older, but unfortunately not infrequently also young animals. There are only a few places on Mallorca that can offer space for such farm animals in distress. Some of our farm animals, which our visitors get to see, have been able to recover from sad fates on our farm. You no longer notice these animals: they show their gratitude through goodwill, trusting behavior and a particularly great interest in daily cuddles. Your supporting membership not only benefits our current animals. You also support our animal rescue project with it.

Our biggest mascot Ferdinando is a good example for our rescue activities

Animal sponsorship and animal rescue activities

The answer to this question certainly has to do with the tourism boom of the 1960s. Before Mallorca was discovered by the masses, life was easy going on the island. Due to its geographical location, the island had to be self-sufficient, so it was agriculture that shaped local life. Whoever owned a piece of land was the lucky one, as he could cultivate it and live off the harvest. Small and large farms kept their own animals. Cows, donkeys, sheep and horses were looked after and cared for, for they were important helpers. Then, in the 1960s, the urge grew to build infrastructure to meet the growing demand for accommodation. Land was sold. It became increasingly unprofitable to cultivate fields. The animals that were became a burden and could no longer be kept for financial reasons. Financial shortages were exacerbated by crises like the one in 2008. Those who lived on the island at that time may remember: horses and sheep were abandoned to their fate on their pastures and found in a desolate state. Goats jumped over fences, multiplied uncontrollably and were released for shooting. Unfortunately, such incidents continue to occur today. But it would be unfair to talk only about farmers. There are many reasons why an animal might need a new home, and sometimes there are real tragedies hidden behind the story of animals in need. So they need a shelter. As animal lovers, here’s where we gladly step in. And let’s be honest: we enjoy taking care of these animals. While petting, feeding, grooming and helping them to improve we benefit from a positive attitude. It helps us to relax and it makes us fall into bed with a pleasant feeling of balance.

An animal sponsorship as a gift

a beautiful gesture both for donee and for the animal

Our sponsorships are an original gift for animal lovers of all ages. Whether for a birthday, first day at school or as a wedding present – it will most definitely be an appreciated surprise! Apart from having their own Certificate of Sponsorship, our sponsors enjoy free access to our farm and the opportunity to pet and feed their animals with our staff whenever they want. It is, by the way, a nice chance to come into contact with like-minded animal lovers, for example during our yearly events for the members of our sponsorship program.

Animal sponsorships are a beautiful thing - especially for children

Animal sponsorships are a beautiful thing - especially for children

Animals have a positive effect on children. You can see that just by looking at their sparkling eyes while being among tame animals. A little goat sniffing a kids sleeve, a piggy wallowing comfortably in the mud, a greedy sheep rushing over to be at the very front when it comes to feeding. Animals are authentic – just like kids. There’s no doubt: animals have a positive influence on physical and emotional health, development and wellbeing of a child. Kids also learn about animal welfare and train the sense of responsibility with a sponsorship. As animal sponsors, our little ones feel needed and enjoy both stimulating and relaxing moments. Does your child want a pet, but there’s no room or time for having your own? Then an animal sponsorship for only €15 a month might be the good solution. Our animal sponsors can visit their favourite animal whenever they want without having to pay the entrance fee of €10. Give the little person at your side a treat with beautiful moments in direct contact with our animals!

Companies that have Mallorca at heart will hardly deny that a positive relation to the island is beneficial in every way. To support an animal welfare project is a token of love for the island and a clear statement regarding sustainable agriculture, ecological cultivation and social commitment. Think about it – maybe it suits your company’s image to bring in a little closeness to nature.

It’s best to treat your pet in such a way that you would be able to cope with reversed roles in the next life without any problems. You’ll never know!
