A Nîmes refuge for dogs and cats
Au Bonheur des 4’Pattes works with abandoned animals and offers dogs and cats for adoption. Based on chemin des Lauzières in Nîmes, the refuge also shares former residents’ new beginnings in its adopted-animal gallery. Start with the listings on the official website to discover the animals in its care.
Allow enough time to meet an animal
The September 2026 visitor poster announces Saturday opening from 4 pm to 6:30 pm. Anyone considering adoption should arrive at least one hour before closing. Appointments are also offered on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons, and on some mornings at 10 am, after completing a questionnaire. The refuge closes in bad weather, so check its visitor announcement before travelling.
Adoption contributions published for 2026
The official 2026 fee schedule lists €140 for a male or female cat, €220 for a male dog and €270 for a female dog. These figures help prospective adopters plan for the adoption contribution and discuss their chosen animal’s circumstances with the team.
Choose a resident to sponsor
The support form offers sponsorship at €20 per month. Supporters name their chosen dog or cat and select one, three or six months, or a year. The same form distinguishes supporter and benefactor memberships. The refuge also invites people to donate supplies or join its volunteers.
Seasonal open days and book fairs
The refuge’s calendar includes animal-themed open days for spring, summer, autumn and Christmas. Its 2026 programme also lists a book fair on 7 November and Noël des Animaux on 6 December, both from 10 am to 5 pm. These gatherings offer a way to support local animal protection without necessarily adopting.
