LES Amis des Chats, the cat welfare charity based in Tarn-et-Garonne, held a reception in its charity shop in Roquecor to celebrate its 10th anniversary.

President and founder Yolande Bishop thanked all those who had helped the association.

Her audience of more than 50 members and supporters included several founder members and many of the charity’s volunteers.

The group has helped about 5,000 cats and has been supported by The Blue Cross, RSPCA International, the SPA, 30 Millions d’Amis and The Brigitte Bardot Foundation.
