An independent association with two animal-care sites
SPA Sud Alpine was founded on 6 November 1972. Its history records the first Veynes shelter opening in 1987 and the move to the present premises in May 2011. The registered office, administrative team and cattery have been in Gap since January 2014. The association operates independently and raises its own funding to run these two sites.
Book with the right site before visiting
To meet a cat, contact the cattery at 2 rue de la Charmille in Gap: 04 92 51 42 44, spa.sudalpine@orange.fr. Dogs live at La Mascotte, 1627 chemin du Plan d’Eau in Veynes: 04 92 57 28 41 or 06 48 56 74 56, spa-sud-alpine@orange.fr. The visiting instructions ask for appointments before all adoption visits because reception areas are small.
Plan for veterinary follow-up after adoption
The published conditions describe identification, vaccination, parasite treatment and adult sterilization. For young animals, later sterilization by the association’s vet is included. An animal not yet sterilized requires a security cheque, returned on the day of the procedure. Dogs older than ten may benefit from Fondation 30 Millions d’Amis’s Opération Doyens senior-support programme.
Dog walking starts with registration
For your first dog-walking session, bring copies of your identification and civil-liability insurance. You must read and sign the walking rules and pay the annual contribution unless already a member. Other volunteer roles include gardening, small repairs, food collections, event stands and making items for sale, allowing people with different skills to help.
Build a connection with an animal still waiting
Sponsorship supports dogs and cats who are older, ill, disabled or have spent a long time in care. Their profiles include a sponsorship button, and sponsors receive regular updates. This is a way to contribute to care without bringing an animal home, while also supporting the search for a suitable adoptive family.
The Gap cattery and its fundraising shop
The cattery advertises Monday–Saturday opening from 14:00 to 17:00, excluding public holidays, with adoption appointments arranged ahead. It also houses a second-hand and craft shop opened in March 2023 to support the animals. Find the association on the AnimalProtech map and always specify whether your enquiry concerns Gap or Veynes.
