A cat association without a public shelter
Established in 2008 as SOS Sacs à Puces du Comtat, the association works in Carpentras and neighbouring towns. It feeds, treats and arranges sterilisation for free-roaming cats while preparing adult cats and kittens for adoption. Its official introduction explicitly states that it is not a shelter: animals are accommodated through foster households.
Responding to reports of cat colonies
Field volunteers visit places where groups of cats have been reported. Their work combines feeding, arranging appropriate care when needed and trapping cats for sterilisation. The association also lists help for pet owners facing difficulties and animal-protection awareness among its activities. These roles complement adoption, since finding a new home immediately is not the only need encountered in the community.
Read the profile, then send an application
Start with the cat profiles on the official website, which describe the animals and their foster placements. An online adoption request lets you register your interest. The adoption coordinator then contacts you to discuss the next steps. Some profiles describe ongoing socialisation; that information helps prepare for a meeting and understand how much time a particular cat may need.
Offer a home during a period of transition
Foster carers temporarily welcome one or more cats while they recover or await adoption. This gives an animal coming off the streets a domestic environment. Before offering a placement, discuss your availability and the cats needing support with the team. Fostering is different from adopting: the aim is to help the animal move on to a permanent family.
A charity shop near the town hall
The shop at 17 place de l’Horloge sells second-hand goods in good condition, including clothing, household linen, kitchenware, books, toys and decorative items. Purchases help support the animals. This is the shop’s address, not a shelter where visitors choose a cat. To arrange a donation of goods, the published contact number is 06 15 73 32 91.
Help without taking a cat home
Shop shifts, collection events, feeding and trapping provide other ways to volunteer. Financial donations, cat food and accessories also support the work. For adoption and general enquiries, call 06 89 99 48 12 or email sacapuces84@gmail.com. The AnimalProtech map places Sacs à Puces among Vaucluse’s animal-protection associations.
