Helping people keep caring for their companions
Founded in Avignon in 2001, ADEO supports animals in difficulty and people who can no longer afford some of their companion’s needs. This connection between human and animal welfare shapes its official account of the association. ADEO says it operates independently without public subsidies, using donations, membership contributions, its shop and activities organized by volunteers.
Requesting help with veterinary care
Veterinary assistance is intended for low-income owners. ADEO requests proof of income and a sworn declaration; designated association officers arrange appointments with participating veterinarians. Its official assistance information makes clear that support depends on available funds. Contact the team to have your request considered, rather than assuming that expenses you arrange yourself will be reimbursed.
Foster households, not a shelter to visit
ADEO does not have a shelter. Cats, dogs and rabbits taken into its care stay with foster households across Greater Avignon while awaiting adoption. The association covers their food and medical expenses. These volunteer foster families provide a home, attention and help with training. Their availability is what makes it possible for ADEO to house rescued animals.
Meeting an animal before making a commitment
To adopt, ADEO invites you to look at the animals listed and call 04 32 74 22 01. An initial meeting with a cat or dog can be arranged without commitment. The official adoption page states that animals offered for adoption are vaccinated. Use the conversation to discuss your household and the everyday care you can provide.
Second-hand goods help fund animal care
Opened in May 2010, the charity shop is run by volunteers. Second-hand items are cleaned and repaired where needed before being sold at low prices. Sales help fund animal welfare work while keeping useful goods affordable for people on limited incomes. Food collections provide another form of support, including for pets of people without housing and for community-cat colonies.
Planning a shop visit or donation drop-off
The shop is at 49 rue Alexandre Blanc, 84000 Avignon. The official website lists opening hours of Monday 14:00 to 19:00 and Tuesday to Saturday 10:00 to 19:00. Item donations are accepted only Tuesday to Saturday, 10:00 to 14:00. Call before bringing an unusual item or to discuss volunteering. Find ADEO on the AnimalProtech map.
