I have a pet alone in my home" card
The City of Montpellier is introducing the first "J'ai un animal seul chez moi" card, a new initiative designed to protect the animal if the owner encounters a problem. This way, whatever happens to the owner, the emergency services will be informed that he or she has a pet and is home alone. A trustworthy person previously designated on the card will be notified and will be able to take care of the animals for the duration of the absence.
To do this, simply indicate on the back of the card, the contact details of the person(s) to be informed to look after the animals alone.
These cards are distributed at the Mairie reception desk, at the C.C.A.S, in municipal establishments, and through charitable associations.
