Animal Police Association

ABOUT US

Our team — volunteers with heart

Behind every rescued animal is a person who didn't look away. Our team consists of dedicated volunteers who work day after day with heart, hand and hope — whether on Finca Noah, in emergencies or behind the scenes.

We are supported by veterinarians, caregivers, helpers on site and an organisation team in Switzerland. Together we form a movement that makes a difference with empathy, drive and trust — without bureaucracy, but with all our heart.

“We don't do this on the side — we do it with conviction.”

HISTORY & FOUNDING

How it all began

The Animal Police Association was founded in June 2018 by Farah de Tomi, Brian Gantner and Robine Amendola. Out of deep concern for the catastrophic conditions of animal welfare on Mallorca, a shared vision emerged: to rescue stray, abandoned and injured animals, care for them and give them a loving home.

With heart and tireless dedication, they began pulling animals off the streets and out of dire situations. From this small initiative a movement quickly grew — people of the same passion joined to build structures for better animal welfare and lasting change.

OUR VALUES

What drives us

At Animal Police we don't act out of duty — we act out of conviction. Our work is shaped by values we live every day, animal by animal.

EMPATHY

We meet every living being with respect, compassion and understanding — regardless of origin, species or past.

RESPONSIBILITY

Animal welfare to us means looking, acting, and not turning away. We stand up for every animal that suffers injustice.

TRANSPARENCY

Every donation, every decision, every step is traceable. We are accountable — openly, honestly, with heart in the right place.

SUSTAINABILITY

Our work is built for the long term. We create structures that protect animals — today and tomorrow.

COLLABORATION

Only together can we change things. We work closely with local helpers, vets, supporters and donors — as a strong community.

GRATITUDE

We are grateful for every rescued animal, for every helping hand, and for the trust given to us. We pass this gratitude on — to humans and animals.

MEDIA & PRESS

Animal Police in the media

Our work doesn't go unnoticed — and that is a good thing. We believe: those who look, ask and report help make animal suffering visible and drive change.

Blick

The Swiss media corporation reported on our situation on Mallorca, where we faced a substantial fine due to building-permit challenges. At the heart of the story: our work for more than 200 rescued animals who would have no safe place without Finca Noah.

SRF

Swiss Radio and Television also covered our work in a broader piece about animal welfare. Our case was cited as an example of how dedicated associations struggle with regulatory hurdles — and how vital public support is.

  • They show that our work has impact — also in the media.
  • They make visible how important our community is — especially in challenging times.
  • They help reach people who want to protect animals but didn't yet know about us.
