In 2011 we found loving homes for 172 cats and kittens and helped a further 731 cats
On average, we rehome 4 cats a week
Thanks to the excellent network of volunteers, supporters, and vets, we directly helped 172 cats and indirectly helped 731 others, making a staggering total of 903 cats helped in 2011.
Chats du Quercy is delighted to present to you the magnificent cats and kittens available for adoption in our Cat Rescue Centre in Miramont de Quercy(82).
Dottie arrived with us Tuesday evening 10th April 2012, by Wednesday morning we had 4 extra cats to deal with!
Dottie had been left behind by people who moved away, a sad but all too common story.
You can watch her progress and that of her kittens here over the next few weeks. Dottie and her kittens will be ready for adoption early June.
3 kittens found in a bin, only 2 alive! What “brave people” threw out living beings with the rubbish, 3 small creatures, in good health, only 3 weeks-old and in need of their mother? It’s horrific to imagine that if nobody had heard them they would have all died crushed in garbage. There are no words to explain these actions.
Good news for Nico and Kimi (Pompom and Nenette), following an article in the local newspaper, they already have people waiting to adopt them when they are ready in a few weeks time. More kittens for adoption below
Kittens have arrived!
Please help them!
We hope that you enjoy your photographic tour of Chats du Quercy, please realise that it is impossible to choose a cat or any other animal in this manner.
Before making your final decision, please consult adoption conditions in “How to adopt” .
Before being rehomed, our cats have received a weekly visit by a qualified vet and are;
- Identified by microchip
- Vaccinated
- Treated for parasites
- Placed under adoption contract
Between 4 and 6 months of age, they are usually;
- Tested negative for Feline aids (FIV) and Feline Leukaemia(FeLV)
- Neutered
Any donation you give is eligible for a 66% deduction on your French income tax
The financial participation requested to adopt a cat represents a contribution towards the operating costs of Chats du Quercy. In no instance does this amount represent the “cost” of the adopted cat (quite the contrary). Costs incurred are usually much more than the financial participation requested.
To visit the cats for adoption, please call us to arrange an appointment on 05 63 94 73 97
The vet services supporting Chats du Quercy are excellent, contact us if you’d like their details.

A fact for you!
Cats Protection spent £5.6m in 2010 to neuter more than 176,000 owned, stray and feral cats across the UK.
The cost itself is huge, but when you realise that the number of cats involved is the equivalent of one every three minutes, the vastness of the situation becomes clear – especially when you realise that these figures are from a single UK charity.
Cats Protection is doing everything it can to help stop the impending population explosion, and is now encouraging the neutering of cats at around four months of age rather than the usual six.
Hi Lynn, I agree and feel that early age neutering wherever possible is the way forward as cats start to reproduce at such an early age. I know there are some who are against it, and there are inherent dangers as in any operation when dealing with very young animals but surely the small risk is worth the greater outcome? It certainly ensures that young kittens can be rehomed knowing that they have been neutered rather than being kept in shelters until they are older.
Keep up your excellent work
We are in total agreement and every cat that we rehome is neutered at 4 months of age, unless there is a specific medical reason not to.
