I can't find any mention of anything you listed as a search reference.
I searched general web sites, hoax sites, urban legend sites and usenet groups and
found no information that confirmed or denied
such a story.That would suggest to me that the story is false.
However, I am also interested in the source of your story. Where did you learn about
the "Cats for Europe Campaign"?
Knowing your source may provide an insight needed to conduct a more detailed search.
