An independent S.P.A. since 1960
S.P.A. de Haguenau & Environs was founded on 6 April 1960. It belongs to the Confédération Nationale Défense de l’Animal while retaining its own management and financial independence. Its official introduction describes receiving abandoned animals and transfers from the fourrière, then helping them towards family life. Its board directs this local association.
Support for animals who need more time
Some residents need continuing care for chronic conditions; others must rebuild confidence after difficult experiences. The refuge explains that these animals cannot always be adopted immediately. Its work therefore includes treatment, monitoring and behavioural rehabilitation. Supporting the association also helps these longer journeys, which involve more than an initial meeting followed by departure to a new home.
For a cat, send the form before meeting
The cat-adoption process starts with a form emailed to spa.hag.chats@gmail.com before any meeting. Following discussion and approval by an animal-care worker or responsible volunteer, adopters sign a contract and receive a health record and welcome booklet. An acclimatisation period may be offered for certain cats or households that already have animals.
Paperwork, healthcare and kitten follow-up
Bring identification, recent address proof and evidence of liability insurance. Cats leave identified, initially vaccinated and sterilised. For kittens, a sterilisation deposit is returned on proof of surgery. Vaccine boosters remain the adopter’s responsibility: the health record supplied at handover helps you arrange the next stages with your veterinarian and keep track of care after arrival.
Keep a connection through sponsorship
The refuge’s sponsorship scheme supports an animal waiting for a family. Sponsors receive news and photos every month, plus updates on major events such as adoption. It also suits people unable to offer a home: they can follow an individual resident’s progress while contributing to the care that supports them during their stay.
