The ISPCA is appealing for new homes for a number of cats and kittens currently being cared for at their centres in Ireland.
68 cats and kittens are currently being cared for at the National Animal Centre in Longford, 19 cats and kittens are available for rehoming at the ISPCA’s Donegal Animal Rehabilitation Centre and a further four kittens at the Equine Rescue Centre in Mallow.
The ISPCA is looking for new homes for all 91 of them.
“Cat overpopulation is a serious animal welfare concern and we are currently caring for 68 cats and kittens at our National Animal Centre,” ISPCA Centre Manager Hugh O’Toole said.
“Some cats and kittens are being treated for various ailments in our isolation unit which is now full to capacity, with a waiting list of more cats and kittens to be admitted. Once they receive the veterinary all-clear, they will be moved from isolation to our main cattery when they are ready for adoption.
“Anyone thinking of getting a cat or kitten, please get in touch. We’re are open to visitors Wednesdays to Sundays from 11.30am to 4pm where you can come in and meet the many animals in our care,” he said.
All the cats and kittens rehomed from the ISPCA are fully vaccinated, treated for parasites, neutered/spayed (when of age), and litter-trained. They also offer six weeks free pet insurance.
The ISPCA ask for an adoption donation of €60 to help them cover some of the veterinary costs.
