A volunteer network without a walk-in shelter
Established in Périgueux on 18 June 1993, SOS Chats Libres works throughout Dordogne. The association is entirely volunteer run and has neither premises nor an animal shelter. Its registered office at the Maison des Associations is therefore not a place to meet cats. Care is organized through people who welcome animals into their homes.
Different support for free-roaming and fostered cats
For unowned cats that avoid human contact and cannot be adopted, the association arranges sterilization and identification to prevent further litters. Injured cats and kittens can instead receive temporary care with foster families. Finding permanent homes is another part of this work, with each cat’s circumstances guiding the type of placement sought.
Contact the foster family named in the listing
Adoption listings describe the cat’s temperament, health care and foster-family contact. They may also explain a need for feline company or a particular home environment. The published adoption terms require a contract quoting the advert number and agreement to a home visit. The association subsequently handles the change of registered keeper in the identification database.
Kitten adoption includes a sterilization commitment
The published conditions require kittens to be sterilized at six months. An uncashed deposit cheque guarantees this commitment and is returned or destroyed once veterinary proof is received. Include the advert number with that document. Ask the foster family to explain which care has already been provided and which appointments still need to be arranged.
Markets and a calendar help fund animal care
Christmas markets, Nuits Gourmandes food events, flea markets and food collections contribute to treatment and feeding costs. The association also sells a calendar and cat-themed items through La Chat-Boutique. Its Chabadabada newsletter keeps members, donors and volunteers informed several times a year about the activities their support helps make possible.
