Who are we ?
THE ASSOCIATION AND ITS OBJECTIVES
Our Overseas Animal Protection Collective for Guadeloupe and Dependencies was created in April 2016; the association is recognized as being of general interest. It is composed exclusively of volunteers and has no formal structure.
SIRET number: 822 714 978 00019
Our work consists of improving the lives of animals, protecting and defending them, and helping owners in difficulty whenever possible, by applying the laws and regulations that protect animals. We also assist with the sterilization and identification of cats and dogs, aiming to combat overpopulation and abandonment. When animals are abandoned, we take them in and rehome them, whether in Guadeloupe or mainland France.
Our work focuses on Guadeloupe and its dependencies (the Saintes archipelago, the islands of Marie-Galante and La Désirade) to ensure close follow-up after our adoptions. However, for animals that have difficulty finding a home in this area, adoption in mainland France through our partner associations is possible.
OUR DAILY MISSIONS
When our association receives a report of an animal in distress, we try to find a volunteer with a car who can go to the location. If the animal reported to us is sociable and approachable, we look for a foster family. This part of the rescue can be very long due to the shortage of foster homes. If, on the other hand, the animal is skittish and unapproachable, we must find a volunteer who can feed it and socialize it so that it can later be placed with one of our shelters.
Once the animal is safe, it is taken to a partner veterinarian, to whom the association sends a referral beforehand for deworming, urgent care, and a health check. As soon as its condition allows, the animal is vaccinated and microchipped, and if it is old enough, it is also spayed or neutered whenever possible. For dogs over 7 or 8 months old, we also test for heartworm. If the test is positive, we treat them before offering them for adoption. Adult cats are tested for FIV and FeLV.
The motto below remains the basis of our commitment to the voiceless people of Guadeloupe:
"It's impossible," said Pride.
It's risky, says the Experience
"There's no way out," says Reason.
"Let's try," whispered the Heart.
