Ian Anderson, lead singer of the British rock band Jethro Tull, is one of the promoters and backers upholding a stray cat shelter in Oradea, Western Romania.<\/p>\n

Tull filmed a video of himself asking people to support the efforts of an association in Oradea that cares for animals, as reported by Digi24<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“They work to find a loving home for them. We support these initiatives and believe it’s important to partner with such an organization. And I will do just that right now,” said Ian Anderson. “The best cats I’ve had in the last 50 years were found on farms or the streets.”<\/p>\n

The shelter in Oradea is home to 50 cats, with plenty of indoor and outdoor play space.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It was a great surprise; we didn’t expect it. We thank them, and I hope others will also promote helping stray animals,” said Mihaela Bohu\u0219, a volunteer with the association.<\/p>\n

The association, named\u00a0Prietenii pisicilor<\/a>\u00a0(Friends of cats), cares for cats that barely survive on the streets – especially as winter brings colder and colder nights – but also cats abandoned by their owners.<\/p>\n

The promotion of the association began with the Romanian rock band Dirty Shirt. The band members reached out to dozens of personalities from home and abroad, including Ian Anderson.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The shelter volunteers appreciate every bit of financial support from the community, as well as the work of volunteers who lend a helping hand,” said Cristian B\u0103l\u0103nean, guitarist of Dirty Shirt.<\/p>\n\n
