Phoenix SOS - HELP needed with multiple abandoned cats, Rudeau Ladosse, 24340

Phoenix has received an S.O.S. call from a lady called Gwendoline regarding 23 cats abandoned near Rudeau Ladosse, 24340. In brief, the cats were owned by a French couple. The man died and the woman is moving out in mid-January, leaving them all behind.

1 of the cats has sadly died. Phoenix has taken 1 into foster care (all we have room for at present) and 2 other Associations have promised to take 2 each, thereby leaving 16 homeless cats. The majority are not only young and beautiful, but very friendly. However, it is important that we act now! 

Phoenix has committed to cover the cost of immediate sterilisation of all the cats so that they don't multiply. We have also created a rescue plan, but we also really need your help please. This is how:

1.  Can you foster one of these cats for Gwendoline, or even offer them a permanent home? If you can take just one cat, if will make a huge difference. Please contact Gwendoline (details below) for ALL enquiries. 

2. Donate - We are asking for individual donations of only 2 euros please. 2 euros will feed the group for one day. This will also go towards veterinary treatment for the cats. Please log onto the Phoenix website and donate using your credit / debit card or Paypal, by clicking on the "donate" button at www.phoenixasso.com. please ensure to add a message in "Add Special Instructions to Seller" of "Abandoned Cats Campaign".

3. If you are local to Rudeau Ladosse, Gwendoline would really appreciate some moral / practical support, e.g. help feeding the cats and / or taking them to the vets. 

4. Phoenix is organising the following collection points for cat food. Unless the cats are re-homed immediately, we need to supply food until they are. 16 is a lot of cats to feed! Please consider adding a tin of cat food (tinned food is preferred please, but any will do) to your weekly shop and dropping it off at one of the following locations:
