Abstract : This work extends previous developments carried out by some of the authors on Ehresmann connections on Atiyah Lie algebroids. In this paper, we study Cartan connections in a framework relying on two Atiyah Lie algebroids based on a $H$-principal fiber bundle $\mathcal{P}$ and its associated $G$-principal fiber bundle $\mathcal{Q} := \mathcal{P} \times_H G$, where $H \subset G$ defines the model for a Cartan geometry. The first main result of this study is a commutative and exact diagram relating these two Atiyah Lie algebroids, which allows to completely characterize Cartan connections on $\mathcal{P}$. Furthermore, in the context of gravity and mixed anomalies, our construction answers a long standing mathematical question about the correct geometrico-algebraic setting in which to combine inner gauge transformations and infinitesimal diffeomorphisms.
