You know the scene. You cross paths with a stray cat in the street. You stop for a second. You look at it. It looks at you. And you leave — with that uncomfortable feeling of not having been able to do anything.
You love cats. You know that millions of them are surviving in difficult conditions in France. And you want to act — but between training, work, and everything else, you don't have the time or energy to get involved with an association.
Burpees & Croquettes was created to address this feeling.
Volunteering: valuable, but not for everyone
Animal welfare associations operate thanks to extraordinary volunteers. People who rescue stray cats in all weather, take them to the vet, find foster families, and feed colonies every morning before going to work.
This work is essential. And it's exhausting.
If you can't commit to it — because your life doesn't allow it right now — it's not a lack of generosity or disengagement. It's a reality. And there's no shame in admitting you can't do everything.
What you can do without changing your daily routine
The idea behind Burpees & Croquettes is based on a simple principle: you already spend money on your sports equipment. These purchases are essential for your practice. The only question is: where do you make them?
By choosing B&C, you make the same purchase — a technical t-shirt, a sweatshirt, a cap — but this purchase donates 10% of net profits to the Fondation 30 Millions d'Amis each quarter. To fund food, veterinary care, sterilizations, and awareness campaigns.
You haven't added an hour to your week. You haven't taken on any additional emotional commitment. You've simply directed your purchase towards a brand that does something concrete with its money.
Why this commitment lasts
Volunteering can lead to burnout. So can guilt. What lasts is a commitment integrated into daily life — not superimposed on it.
When your sportswear is committed, every training session becomes an act. Not dramatically. Not guilt-trippingly. Just a clear conscience that your consumption habits align with who you are.
It's different from a one-time donation made on an impulse. It's a structural choice, renewed with each purchase.
What your purchase concretely funds
The funds donated to the Fondation 30 Millions d'Amis help finance:
→ Stray cat sterilization campaigns — the most effective long-term solution to reduce suffering
→ Emergency veterinary care for injured or sick animals
→ Food for colonies supervised by volunteers
→ Awareness campaigns about pet abandonment and stray cats
These are not symbolic actions. These are concrete interventions on the ground, carried out by professional and volunteer teams all over France.
You don't have to choose between your sports practice and your values
Perhaps the most important message of this article is: you don't have to sacrifice yourself to act. You don't have to give anything up. You don't have to feel guilty for not being able to do more.
You play sports. You wear clothes to train. And you love cats. Burpees & Croquettes has brought these three realities together in one brand — so that your next sports t-shirt is also the next meal for a stray cat in France.
