Because the suffering of homeless cats has no boundaries and because their numbers continue to grow One Voice created Chatipi. A simple, solid and effective response, which has been integrated into its global campaign against strays! The inauguration of the new Chatipi will take place in Veix on Saturday October 26th at 10 am in the presence of Sylvie Degery, Mayor of Veix, Muriel Arnal President-founder of One Voice and the Vice-President of the Departmental Council of Corrèze.
Stays
account for more than 11 million cats on the streets, they suffer
hunger, thirst, diseases, bad weather and violence. A figure that
continues to grow despite the sporadic use of sterilization programs
undertaken here and there. The shelters are overflowing and the
situation gets worse from year to year! It was in response to the
suffering of homeless cats that One Voice created Chatipi.
The mayor is legally responsible for the stray cats in his community
One
Voice’s Chatipi program is part of itscampaign to call for a national emergency plan for stray cats. It is an aid, offered to the
mayors, because it is them who are legally responsible for the
management of stray cats in their community. The current regulations
clearly stipulate that sterilization and releasing are to be
preferred than that of “euthanasia”, which in fact is

Chatipi: genuine help for municipalities
Following
the pilot project carried out in 2013, Chatipi has been redesigned so
that it can be easily established wherever homeless cats need
shelter. The program assists and offers mayors the ability to meet
their legal obligations to protect strays by helping them create a
place for these cats to live.
Sterilized
and released cats must be able to protect themselves from bad weather
and violence, to be able to feed, watered and benefit from health
monitoring.
These
reception centres, which can be set up in a public area, will be both
an opportunity to respect them better and generate social ties
between the inhabitants of the municipality. This will also make cats
known, thanks to the online documentation made available by One Voice.
