Answer

Who is responsible for stray cats in Mallorca — the city or animal welfare groups?

Responsibility is often shared, but in practice it can be unclear and slow to organise. The city can support coordination, permits and funding, while animal welfare groups usually handle trapping and sterilisation work. Local feeders and neighbours also play a role because feeding habits can either help or worsen the situation.
