Cats living in semi-freedom at Lagoubran
Built in the 1960s, the Lagoubran refuge has housed the Association Toulonnaise des Amis du Chat, or ATAC, since 2004. This independent association takes in abandoned or mistreated cats. Residents move around a large semi-free-living area, with an infirmary for care. The setting is organised around cats’ daily lives and needs.
An adoption request before the appointment
To meet a resident, complete the form linked from the official adoption page, then wait for the association to contact you. Adoption visits are by appointment only. Profiles distinguish kittens, juniors, adults and seniors and may include important notes about the desired home or a preferred joint adoption.
Veterinary preparation for future companions
The adoption contribution helps cover care already provided. ATAC details identification, FIV/FeLV testing, vaccination and parasite treatments; its page specifies the ages from which procedures are performed, including six months for neutering. Some cats with particular medical needs are also offered for sponsorship to help support their continuing care.
A separate room for temporary care
Foster families take kittens, adults or sometimes a mother with her litter. A room separate from other animals is required. Families help with socialisation, care and veterinary journeys, with veterinary fees covered by the association. They also welcome prospective adopters after the preliminary visit has been approved.
Gardening, repairs and time with cats
Volunteers must be adults. A welcome session is advertised on Thursday afternoons. Alongside feeding and socialisation, the refuge seeks practical repair and gardening skills to maintain its facilities. The volunteering information helps readers choose a commitment that fits the time they can offer.
Priority intake for cats from Toulon
Under its agreement with Toulon, the refuge gives priority to cats originating in the city. Its surrender procedure requests a contribution towards the animal’s needs. People who are neither surrendering nor adopting a cat can help through donations, membership or sponsorship, which complement local public funding.
Preparing for access to the refuge
The refuge is on avenue Aristide Briand, 83200 Toulon. Access involves stairs, an important practical point to discuss with the team beforehand. Contact 04 94 62 16 36 or atacrefuge@gmail.com to prepare your visit. The AnimalProtech map locates ATAC among Toulon’s cat-protection organisations.
