A photographer named Michel Cambazard was visiting the cemetery to take photos, and he began to notice this small community of cats that were being fed by an older woman named Madame Delassens. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">One day, when Cambazard was taking photos in the cemetery, he noticed that Madame Delassens was being denied entry by the security guards. The guards wanted to prevent her, and other women that had been coming, from feeding the stray cats. The Montmartre Cemetery was being taken over by these abandoned kitties, and the city of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/paris\/the-top-fromageries-in-paris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Â鶹APP<\/a> wanted to do something about it!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">They soon began a project to remove the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/the-best-cat-cafes-of-paris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cats<\/a> from the cemetery. Unfortunately, that included trapping them and either sending them to the pound, or putting them down. When Cambazard got word of this, he was devastated. He gathered with about 70 other cat lovers in the cemetery to protest. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Eventually, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/facts-about-paris-pere-lachaise-cemetery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cemetery<\/a> agreed that if Cambazard took responsibility of the cats, then they could roam the cemetery freely. What did this mean for Mr. Cambazard? Once all of the cats were neutered and tattooed in order to identify them, he could bring them back to the cemetery to live in peace. And so began L\u2019\u00c9cole du Chat!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>2. L\u2019\u00c9cole du Chat helped to create a new status for abandoned cats in France<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_24479\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/15413901315_7903df00db_z.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24479\" class=\"size-full wp-image-24479\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/15413901315_7903df00db_z.jpg\" alt=\"cat\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/15413901315_7903df00db_z.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/15413901315_7903df00db_z-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-24479\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A &#8220;free&#8221; cat takes a nap in the Montmartre Cemetery by Jannis &#8211; Flickr<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">When L\u2019\u00c9cole du Chat was just beginning, the association was made up of Cambazard, and a few other brave volunteers that wanted to save these poor abandoned cats. Everything that they were doing: catching the cats, paying for them to be neutered, and then releasing them back into the cemetery was illegal, and went against the sanitary regulations at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Something needed to be done to protect the association and the cats they were saving! So, Cambazard decided to take things into his own hands and petition for a new law that would protect these abandoned cats, or &#8220;free&#8221; cats as they affectionately started calling them. These cats weren\u2019t just abandoned by their owners, they were free! They were free to live and do as they wanted. At least, that\u2019s what the volunteers behind L\u2019\u00c9cole du Chat thought.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">On June 19, 1978 a cat named Nicolas was captured, neutered, tattooed and registered in the official <i>Fichier National F\u00e9lin <\/i>under file number -AAA 0831. He was then released back to the Montmartre Cemetery, making him the first ever free cat in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/paris\/how-simone-de-beauvoir-changed-france\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">France<\/a>! <i> <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The older cats that L\u2019\u00c9cole du Chat has neutered and identified are usually taken back to the cemetery after a few days of rest and relaxation in the homes of volunteers. If younger cats or kittens are found, they are usually put up for adoption! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecoleduchat.asso.fr\/spip.php?article10\"><span class=\"s2\">Click here<\/span><\/a> to visit the official website if you are interested in adopting a cat yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>3.

This includes the veterinarians that assist in neutering and identifying the cats, the volunteers that visit the cemetery daily in order to feed the cats, and host families for cats that need to recover after receiving medical care.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">One veterinarian in particular, Dr. Serge Belais, has been helping L\u2019\u00c9cole du Chat since it\u2019s beginnings in the late 1970s! Talk about a commitment to helping animals! <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The other volunteers that visit the cemetery every day to feed the cats and give them a little bit of attention are essential to the success of the association as well. These volunteers have also installed small boxes filled with hay throughout the cemetery so that the cats have a warm and dry place to sleep at night. They have also built small covered areas to put their food inside, meaning it won\u2019t get eaten by birds or other animals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">There are many ways to get involved with L\u2019\u00c9cole du Chat if you\u2019re interested! You can sign up to be a host family to prepare cats for adoption by helping them become more social and giving them a safe and warm place to recover from being neutered. You can also help to catch stray cats and try to coax them to come with you so that they can be helped by the association. Finally, you can volunteer to help L\u2019\u00c9cole du Chat with various fundraisers that they put on in order to raise money for the cats that they help. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The biggest way you can help L\u2019\u00c9cole du Chat, at least on a financial level? By becoming a member and paying a 30 euro per year fee. L\u2019\u00c9cole du Chat wants to save as many cats as they can, and this of course costs money. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecoleduchat.asso.fr\/spip.php?article7\"><span class=\"s2\">Click here<\/span><\/a> to become a member!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">In addition to being a Â鶹APP-obsessed writer, I have a soft spot for animals. If I had any skills in math or science, I think I would have become a veterinarian! What\u2019s the next best thing? Volunteering to help animals in need.
