Catteries

[Ann]

Hi everyone

I think this has probably been answered before but I could not find the information on the search I did.

Can anyone tell me what the requirements are for opening a cattery in France please.  I understand that it is not as straightforward as in the UK.

All replies appreciated.

Hi,

Here are some links for you but you will need your French dictionary by your side!

 

Basically you will need:

1. To qualify for a Cert De Capacite

2. Have permission of your Maire

3. For less than 9 cats your animal housing MUST be at least 50 metres from your nearest neighbours house.

4. For more than 9 cats the kennels must be at least 100 m from your nearest neighbours house.

5. There is another organisation (can't remember the name of it) who also have to approve your scheme and who have the authority to veto the agreement of the Maire.

6. Plus all the normal registering for business (Chmabers of Commerce,tax office etc) - all covered in the Earning a Living forum.

Thanks for the information Penny.  Will check out the websites tonight, hopefully with the aid of the dictionary it won't be too bad!!
