Registered charity · Eymet, Dordogne
Pawprint rescues, cares for and rehomes abandoned cats and dogs across the countryside of South-West France, between the Dordogne and the Lot-et-Garonne. Together with local councils, partner vets and a network of foster families.
Why Pawprint
The association was created to answer a growing demand: animal rescue in the rural areas of South-West France, where cat colonies multiply and where shelters are few and far between.
We work hand in hand with local councils to manage stray cat populations, we run sterilisation campaigns, and our foster families socialise and care for every rescued animal until it is adopted.
About the associationOur commitment
Immediate help for animals in distress.
We take in strays, abandoned pets and animals suffering from neglect, and make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. Our busiest times: kitten season, from April to September, then late autumn.
Healing bodies and hearts.
Every rescued animal is examined by a partner vet, treated, then supported through a rehabilitation suited to its species. This work is costly, and adoption fees only cover part of it.
A home for life.
Applicants fill in a form on Patte-forme and sign the certificate of commitment, required by French law, seven days before adopting. We review every application and visit the home so that the match is the right one.
Working together.
Fundraising, foster families, volunteer teams, town halls, gendarmerie and vets: a whole local network comes together to help animals in need, and often people along the way.
Waiting for a family
Every profile is kept up to date by the team on Patte-forme, where adoption applications are made.
