A volunteer team with a strong focus on cats
Chiens, Chats & Compagnie takes in animals in Nantes and its nearby suburbs without employing paid staff. Its official website reports 551 animals received in 2025: 531 cats, 11 dogs and nine rabbits. Cats therefore account for most of its work, although they are not the only animals it rescues.
Caring for cats who remain in their own territory
A cat too fearful for adoption is not simply left without support. The association’s introduction explains that such cats are neutered, identified and returned to their living area, with continued food and care. Volunteers support several free-roaming groups alongside animals being prepared for adoption.
Contact the cat’s coordinator and discuss completed care
To adopt, contact the person named on the cat’s profile. The adoption conditions describe identification, vaccination completed to date, parasite treatments, FIV/FeLV tests and adult neutering. For an unneutered kitten, surgery remains a future commitment: an uncashed security cheque is returned or destroyed after a veterinary certificate is supplied. Special rescue adoption arrangements also cover cats over ten and some needing particular ongoing care.
Offer a few quiet days or a longer foster placement
A foster carer may house a cat for days, weeks or months. Some placements provide recovery time, including around ten days for female cats after neutering. The association supplies a recovery enclosure for these placements and requires space to separate the animal temporarily. It may help provide litter and food where needed.
Donated dry food supports free-roaming cats
Donations in kind can include litter and dry food. Donated food goes to free-roaming cats because shelter residents stay on their usual diet. Goods can be dropped at 41 boulevard Pasteur daily from 10:00 to 12:00, except Tuesday, when the stated window is 09:30–11:30.
