Helping overlooked animals since 2005
Founded in February 2005, L’Arche de Noé is run by volunteers and helps abandoned, stray, lost, sick and injured cats and dogs. Its feline rescue priorities include injured cats and those abandoned or taken into pounds, without judging them by appearance or how easy they might be to rehome. The shelter and foster households provide complementary places for animals to recover and settle.
Meet the animal in the right setting
Meetings take place at adoption events, foster homes or the shelter. Contact the team with the animal’s name so they can direct you to the appropriate location. Foster cats may attend adoption days at Point Dog in Brest’s Kergaradec area. Check the current arrangements with the volunteers before travelling, as an animal shown online may be living with a family.
Prepare your paperwork and the journey home
The adoption conditions ask for identification, payment by cheque or cash, and a carrier for a cat. Adopters sign a placement agreement and receive a health booklet, animal information, a veterinary health certificate and some food for the dietary transition. The contribution varies according to the animal and care provided, so discuss the relevant arrangements directly.
Plan for neutering when adopting a youngster
Kitten and puppy adopters must provide a guarantee cheque, held without being cashed, for later neutering. Under the association’s procedure, proof that neutering has taken place leads to the cheque’s return and the ownership transfer. This is part of the adoption commitment and should be discussed from the outset, rather than left until after the animal has arrived home.
Foster with practical and veterinary support
Both flats and houses can be suitable, depending on the cat. L’Arche supplies food and equipment except litter, and covers veterinary expenses. Foster carers join the association and sign an agreement and charter. Placements usually continue until adoption, with cover arranged if the carer needs to be away. Read the fostering arrangements before discussing your household’s circumstances.
Help with the shelter’s morning routine
Volunteers work every morning on food, water, hygiene and the residents’ individual needs. Helping cats become comfortable around people is another part of the work. Adoption days, sharing notices and association events offer other opportunities, whether you can contribute regularly or only at particular times of the year.
