A must for cat-lovers, volunteer if you can or donate bits. Highlight of our holiday - we'll definitely be back!
Tala Monastery Cat Park的点评
点评：Why Tala Cats is special:
Tala Cats is a sanctuary for many 100s of stray and abandoned cats. They are a seriously good, and worthy cause. The volunteers there work hard on a daily basis to look after these many 100s of cats, to keep them healthy, watered, happy, and fed. They put a lot of work into engaging with people to gather interest for raising funds for the park or individual cats. You can tell that it's a labour of love and that the volunteers really care about what they're doing. There was actually a cat abandoned at the park while we were there, and they dealt with it very quickly and carefully to take the cat in and make sure it was looked after. It seems to be a heartbreakingly frequent thing that they have to deal with, but they're well equipped.
It's easy to fall deeply in love with the cats when you visit, and if you're the sort of person that enjoys fussing the cat you see on a street corner then do I have a strong recommendation for you.
Volunteering:
- We volunteered at the park for a few hours. We turned up at 8 and left at 11. We spent the time helping in any way we could (alongside fussing and cuddling the cats). We cleaned the water bowls and topped up the water, cleaned out a number of the little outdoor cat beds, changed a litter box, put on some laundry, swept and mopped up one of the cat rooms. We did all this while some cats were supervising by either bunting our legs or supervising more closely while propped up on our shoulders.
- We can't stop thinking about our time volunteering. We knew this was something we wanted to do before coming to Cyprus, and the moment we left we both thought - we have to do this again when we come back.
Things we enjoyed:
- The volunteers there were helpful and clear in any directions about how we could help. We learnt a lot about the park and saw a lot of it. We went on a cold day and they even provided gloves and a nice cup of tea to try keep warm while dealing with so much cold water.
- The shop was great, and very reasonable price wise. I bought a hoodie and I've not stopped wearing it since leaving the park. It's super comfortable and clearly very well made.
- The cats. We can't stop thinking about the cats we met there. They were so lovely. There are so many you obviously won't meet them all, but you'll see many of them and a fair number will come to say hello. It's a good mixture of ages and personalities within the cats, and you may well see one (or more) you want to take home. ;-)
Things to keep in mind:
- We took a taxi up and a bus back. The buses are very infrequent so be mindful of the bus timetable so you don't get stranded! Tala is very out of the way from Paphos.
- If you're driving or doing it as part of a tour it's likely better. It's also right next to the monastery which looks incredible and worth a visit. The monastery cafe was closed on the Monday though.
- Especially if you're volunteering, wear clothes you don't mind the risk of getting dirty or damaged. Some cats like to climb!
What you can do:
- Follow Tala Cats on Facebook and Instagram. They regularly post about the park and their fundraising opportunities. You can sponsor a cat (at 60 euros a year), become a member (10 euros a month or 120 euros a year), or donate any amount. At the moment they're also doing Christmas hampers for your chosen kitties which go for 20 euros each.
- Volunteer for a few hours. If you have the time to spare, for sure go volunteer a few hours at the park. If you don't mind getting your hands dirty too. It's such a rewarding experience and we're so desperate to go back.
- If you don't have the time to volunteer, visit and bring some donations. They could always use things like bin bags, cat food etc. They have a list on their website of things they could always do with.
- Visit the park!
Would we go again?
Yes, yes, and yes again.
Would we recommend?
As above. If you're a cat lover then this is an absolute must. It's a cat lovers dream, and such a worthy cause.

翻译：Tala Cats 的特别之处：
Tala Cats 是数百只流浪猫和被遗弃猫的庇护所。这是一个非常好的、值得做的事业。那里的志愿者每天都在努力照顾数百只猫，让它们保持健康、饮水充足、快乐和饱食。他们投入了大量精力与人们交流，以收集对公园或个别猫咪的筹款兴趣。你可以看出这是一份充满爱的劳动，志愿者们真的很关心他们所做的事情。我们在那里的时候，公园里确实有一只被遗弃的猫，他们非常迅速和小心地处理了这件事，收留了这只猫，并确保它得到照顾。这似乎是他们经常要处理的令人心碎的事情，但他们装备精良。
当你参观时，很容易深深地爱上猫咪，如果你是那种喜欢在街角逗猫的人，那么我有一个强烈推荐给你。
志愿服务：
- 我们在公园做了几个小时的志愿者。我们 8 点到，11 点离开。我们花时间尽我们所能提供帮助（除了逗猫和拥抱猫咪）。我们清洗了水碗并加满了水，清理了一些户外小猫床，更换了猫砂盆，放了一些衣物，清扫并拖了一间猫房。我们做这一切的时候，一些猫在监督我们，它们要么靠在我们的腿上，要么靠在我们的肩膀上更仔细地监督我们。
- 我们无法停止思考我们做志愿者的时间。我们知道这是我们来塞浦路斯之前想做的事情，我们离开的那一刻我们都在想——我们回来时必须再做一次。
我们喜欢的事情：
- 那里的志愿者很乐于助人，并明确告诉我们如何提供帮助。我们了解了很多关于公园的知识，也参观了很多公园。我们去的那天很冷，他们甚至提供了手套和一杯好茶，让我们在面对这么多冷水时保持温暖。
- 商店很棒，价格也很合理。我买了一件连帽衫，离开公园后就一直穿着。它超级舒适，做工也很好。
- 猫。我们不停地想念在那里遇到的猫。它们太可爱了。猫咪太多了，你显然不会见到所有的猫咪，但你会看到很多，而且相当多的猫咪会过来打招呼。猫咪的年龄和性格各异，你很可能会看到一只（或多只）你想带回家的猫。;-)
要记住的事情：
- 我们打车去，然后坐公共汽车回来。公交车班次很少，所以请注意公交车时刻表，以免被困！塔拉离帕福斯很远。
- 如果您开车或作为旅游团的一部分前往，可能会更好。它也紧邻修道院，看起来令人难以置信，值得一游。不过修道院咖啡馆周一不营业。
- 尤其是如果您是志愿者，请穿您不介意弄脏或损坏的衣服。有些猫喜欢爬！
您可以做什么：
- 在 Facebook 和 Instagram 上关注 Tala Cats。他们会定期发布有关公园及其筹款机会的帖子。您可以赞助一只猫（每年 60 欧元），成为会员（每月 10 欧元或每年 120 欧元），或捐赠任意金额。目前，他们还为您选择的小猫准备圣诞礼篮，每个售价 20 欧元。
- 做几个小时的志愿者。如果你有空，一定要去公园做几个小时的志愿者。如果你不介意弄脏你的手的话。这是一次非常有意义的经历，我们非常渴望回去。
- 如果你没有时间做志愿者，那就去参观并带一些捐款。他们总是需要垃圾袋、猫粮等东西。他们的网站上有一份他们总是可以用的东西的清单。
- 参观公园！
我们会再去吗？
是的，是的，是的。
我们会推荐吗？
如上所述。如果你是一个猫爱好者，那么这绝对是必须的。这是猫爱好者的梦想，也是一个如此有价值的事业。
