[Cats, a controlled species within the hospital].

Faced with the proliferation of stray cats in its park, the Barthélemy-Durand public health establishment in Étampes (91), in partnership with the Société protectrice des animaux, has managed to find the right balance between health safety and a pleasant animal presence for patients and caregivers. The regulated control of free and healthy cats on the hospital site also opens up possibilities for animal mediation. Sharing experience and commitment to the animal cause.
