From foster to forever home

The power of community

10 years on – Cats

From Valerie West, the “first lady” of cats as it were!

“In the beginning our help for cats and kittens was through financial and practical support for our local SPA. A few volunteers began to foster cats and kittens from the refuge and this gradually grew into the full-scale programme we have today. Here are a few of our earliest fosterlings – just look at them now!”

1. Alice is enjoying a life of glamping luxury at Le Camp in Tarn et Garonne

2. Toulouse (was Bianca) is living in the Lot – she may only have three legs but has never let it hold her back.

3. Chico came from the SPA in Tarbes and now happily rules the roost in Warrington, UK

4. Galipette made the transition from the SPA in Tarbes to a loving Lifetime Foster in the Gers

5. Grisou (was Blanco) didn’t travel far from the Tarbes refuge but is loving his life as a companion cat

6. Isi found life in the SPA difficult but she is the apple of her owner’s eye in Cheshire, UK

7. Otto was dumped at the Les Amis fête as a kitten but is now Senior Cat in his household in Charente Maritime

8. Thomas and Tabby – brother and sister – now nearly 5 years old they have independent lives but still love to cuddle up as brother and sister to sleep.

9. Orly – found as a kitten trapped hanging by one foot from a barn beam, is now living a great life in Hautes Pyrénées.
