Cat and dog refuges and shelters in the Midi-Pyrénées North

Pets can be bought from a refuge/shelter; many of these are SPA (Société Protectrice des Animaux - Society for the Protection of Animals) shelters. 

In order to buy a pet, proof of identity and proof of address (for example, a utility bill) is required along with payment. Most refuges allow a one-month trial period during which the animal can be returned. Some also send an inspector to visit the animal's new home during the first month.

For contact details of some refuges throughout France, including the Midi-Pyrénées North, see the Protection des Animaux website (select "Refuges" from the left-hand menu).

• Chats du Quercy: A cat rescue and rehoming centre (registered charity) that has a no-kill policy. Cats are cared for until adopted. In the Miramont de Quercy (82) area.
