Rescue Me
There's a new page on our web site - Rescue Me - which gives you details and photos of the cats and kittens we have rescued, and are fostering while we find them new homes.

Right now we have a number of kittens needing homes; we could even take more if we had more people able to care for them.
We'll aim to update the page at regular intervals, and hope to tell you a bit about what happens to the cats we find homes for, too.
 

We have just celebrated our tenth anniversary. Since we started work in March 2000 we have helped over 5,000 cats, and plan to help even more in the years to come.

Our principal activities promote the neutering of both stray and pet cats; neutered cats live much longer, healthier lives.

We do this in two main ways, running “Trap-Neuter-Return” (TNR) programmes in local villages, and offering “Bons de Stérilisation” to help cat owners on limited incomes afford the cost of sterilising their pets.

All this takes a lot of money and a lot of work. The charity is run by a team of volunteers who man its two small charity shops in Beauville and Roquecor, run the TNR programmes, care for homeless cats and kittens, issue “Bons” and raise the funds that these programmes depend on.

We are helped in this by “The Blue Cross” and RSPCA International. 30 Millions d'Amis and La Fondation Brigitte Bardot have also helped us greatly over the years.

If you'd like to join them in helping us, you’ll find lots of ways you can get involved on this site.
