Several routes to long-term animal care
Philippe and Dominique founded Des Chats et Plus in 2017. Based in Béziers, the association cares for hens and rabbits as well as cats. Its work combines long-term accommodation, rescue and visits to pets at home. Explain which kind of help you need at first contact, as these activities have different arrangements rather than one shared intake process.
When an owner can no longer keep a cat
The cat retirement programme addresses situations including disability, a move into residential care or an owner’s death. Cats have a chalet and an enclosed 150-square-metre outdoor area, alongside regular veterinary monitoring. Requests are considered individually and involve a financial contribution. Contact the team to discuss the circumstances and arrange an appointment.
Retirement for hens and rabbits
The association rescues hens from egg production and also takes in hens and rabbits from private individuals. This programme provides a retirement with food, living space and veterinary care. Its purpose extends beyond removing an animal from its former circumstances: it supports that animal’s everyday needs over the longer term.
Stay connected to an animal you support
The sponsorship programme helps fund this retirement. An animal’s first sponsor can choose its name, then follow its life through news, photographs and arranged visits. Club Family offers another option: additional support for an animal that already has a sponsor but needs more help with its care.
Pet visits while you are away
Home visits cover cats, dogs, rabbits and other animals. Feeding, litter care or walks are arranged according to their needs. The described service is a thirty-minute visit within a usual 15 km radius of Béziers, with a quotation for longer journeys. Plant watering and collecting mail can also be agreed.
Gardening, enclosures and second-hand sales
Volunteers can help with everyday animal care, gardening and the vegetable plot, or maintaining and building enclosures. Markets and second-hand sales also raise resources. Donating suitable objects or helping sell them is another practical contribution, alongside financial donations that support the costs of caring for the animals living with the association.
