More and more local councils in the department 82 and near by work with the charity Les amis des chats to neuter stray cats. We contact the local council when we receive a request because the Mayor needs to issue a byelaw This byelaw confirms and identifies Les amis des chats as allowed to start a TNR program in the municipality.
