About
A small group of volunteers, a big territory.
We are passionate volunteers stepping in to help the unwanted animal populations of rural South-West France. Where cat colonies abound, we help property owners with sterilisation campaigns, and we rescue and rehome kittens, cats, puppies and dogs.
Where we work
In the Dordogne (24) and the Lot-et-Garonne (47), from our base in Eymet. Our rescues, foster families and adopters stretch from Bergerac to Périgueux and beyond.
With local councils
Agreements signed with Eymet and Saint-Colomb-de-Lauzun to sterilise, identify and return free-roaming cats, as French law has provided since 2014.
With a network
Partner vets, gendarmerie, foster families, drivers, event organisers: a whole territory mobilises, animal after animal.
Our approach
Sterilise first, to save for good.
An unsterilised cat produces dozens of kittens every year. Trap, neuter and return campaigns are the most ethical and effective way to control colonies, and to prevent tomorrow's abandonments.
Rescued animals are examined, treated, microchipped and vaccinated, then socialised in a foster family before joining a carefully chosen home.
