Two branches, with adoptable cats living in homes
Founded in Poitiers in February 2013, the association opened a Monts-sur-Guesnes branch in 2022. It operates entirely through volunteers and foster families: every cat offered for adoption lives in a household. This arrangement helps carers understand the cat’s character and habits before finding a permanent home.
From Poitiers to northern Vienne
The main branch works in Poitiers and nearby communities, according to its resources and local requests. Monts-sur-Guesnes covers northern Vienne and southern Indre-et-Loire. Occasional interventions also take place in Deux-Sèvres. Adoption profiles distinguish the two areas, helping prospective adopters arrange a meeting with the right foster household.
Sterilisation followed by continuing support
Cats remaining outdoors are sterilised and identified, then supported with food and veterinary care. In Poitiers, protected installations contain shelters called “Chat’LM”, with municipal assistance. In Biard, the Larnay Sagesse institution provides chalets. This means the association’s work continues after a sterilisation campaign rather than ending with the veterinary procedure.
An appointment at the foster home
The adoption procedure starts by returning the engagement certificate and arranging a foster-home appointment through the association. The certificate must have been signed at least seven days before collection. A carrier is compulsory; both parties sign two copies of the contract, and the association updates the ICAD identification register within thirty days.
Veterinary preparation according to age
Cats receive parasite treatment, FIV/FeLV tests, vaccination and identification. The information distinguishes kittens from adults over six months, which are sterilised before adoption. Contributions vary according to age and the cat’s circumstances. This initial care does not replace a lasting budget for food, veterinary follow-up and care during your absences.
Temporary care with practical support
Foster applications are discussed in relation to experience, location, capacity and household availability. The association pays for food and veterinary expenses. The family provides daily care and agrees to welcome prospective adopters into its home. The number of animals and the length of placement are adapted to what the household can offer.
Helping beyond your own home
Volunteers can assist with collections, second-hand markets, school activities, organised trapping or publications. Members also vote at the annual general meeting.
