From its very humble beginnings in 2014 where Lynn Hull and a few others started helping the local Refuge rehome a few of their more difficult dogs, Les Amis has grown into the organisation it is today. We have placed the best part of 2000 cats and dogs in their forever homes.
Read on to find out all about us and to help celebrate this milestone year.
In 2014 Lynn answered a call for blankets and covers by the local SPA. 10 years later we are celebrating 10 years of Les Amis. Hear more about the amazing story in our interview with Lynn.
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!”
From the dog team, just a very very few selected of the hundreds that could have been worthy examples; please take them as representative of the work we do!!
Since its humble beginnings Les Amis has changed a lot. Today we have established ways of working, but we are always growing and changing. Read on to hear about our plans for 2024 and the future.
This is a very sad but then very happy story – a little long, but we feel that the background is necessary.
Co-voiturage is such an important part of what we do. Our fosterers play a HUGELY important role in what we do. These routes often involve several people doing legs of a journey which enables cat(s) and dog(s) to get to their new homes, be they fosters or adopters.
The Fuel Hub, which is our collective name for marketing, communications and fundraising, is a very important part of the work of Les Amis, without funds coming in we wouldn’t be able to help any of the animals who need our care.
We would like to organise lots of events this year to celebrate this special anniversary .
