The volunteers and managers of the Félin pour l’Autre refuge can breathe a huge sigh of relief, as this happy outcome had almost become unexpected. Two days before her sixth birthday, this Monday, July 10, the non-profit organization threatened with having to close its reception center for stray, sick or abandoned cats, learned that she was saved. A beautiful birthday present!
The vagaries of life had forced its president to have to sell her house on the Chaussée de Lille in Orcq where around seventy cats are cared for. For a year, the structure in search of a hosting solution had constantly called for help.
“Despite numerous visits to buildings, refusals from banks to purchase the property, discussions with the City, all our efforts were unsuccessful… But we still believed in a miracle; an individual who would buy the house and rent it to us … “, explains the association.
A cat lover as benefactress
If the miracle might take place, it is thanks to a combination of rather special circumstances and above all to the big heart of a person who had recourse to the services of the Tournai refuge Félin pour l’Autre.
“The sale of our building has been delayed, pending the PEB report. And fortunately finally since on June 28, a person we have known since 2019 following a trapping in his property contacts us. She asks to explain the situation by telling us: ”If I buy the house for the ASBL, are you saved? I have always been passionate regarding cats”.”
The benefactress did not retract and joined the actions to the word. “This extraordinary person made us the dream proposal. Seven days later, the irrevocable offer to purchase is signed. We are officially saved. We will never be grateful enough to him for allowing the shelter to continue to exist” , greet those responsible for the structure.
