Since June 2018, Céret has a new animal refuge where the lovely Marina Pastou, her husband André and her small team of supporters, take in abandoned and rescued dogs, cats and other animals in need.
They are cared for, and then re-homed whenever possible. The land has been provided by the Céret council, who also installed the outer fencing and secure gates. A number of local companies have helped by donating items.
Many of these animals are available for adoption right now. They have been vaccinated, sterilised and have microchips. As Marina says, to adopt one animal is to save two, by freeing up space in the refuge. All you are asked is to reimburse the veterinary fees.

On my recent visit, I saw not just dogs, cats and kittens, but goats, guinea pigs, rabbits, a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig, a horse and a pony! Marina and her small team care for any animal they have space for. They will also investigate cases of mistreatment or cruelty to animals.
The centre is well situated, with enough room to expand as funds permit – and this is where you come in dear reader!

JUST MAYBE….. (you’re gonna be the one who saves me…..)
*If you make a donation and are a French taxpayer you can receive a ‘recu fiscal’ (tax relief)
