PlayforStrays is officially on our travels!
We won't be picking up any calls, messages, emails or anything else unless we really have to.
Rescues, if you need food etc., we can only arrange it w/c 10th March.
Look out for the odd post from us though, as we are on a mission.....💜🐾

Our recent haul of cat food passed to Lila's Legacy so it can be dispersed to those smaller independents that get little or no support 💜🐾

15/02/2025

Being able to assist the smaller independent rescues is what we're all about. They just get on with it and don't blame the world for everything or think themselves superior to the next one. We all choose this lifestyle and although it's bloody hard it's people like Tara that makes the real difference. Thanks to all that support us to continue on 💜🐾

Sooooooo, 3 red hens, 1 white hen and a turkey all hijacked our van on Saturday. We had no say in it at all.....just about escaped with our lives.........😂
In all seriousness, come and see them and some of the rescue animals at the PlayforStrays sanctuary.
Help us with new names please. All are available for monthly sponsorship if you'd like to help towards their care?💜🐾 🐓🦃

Was great to get down to Northern Ireland Battery Hen Rescue and leave half a van load of mostly dog supplies (they also have dogs and cats).
I may or may not have come home with 1 or 5 other little lives to live at the PlayforStrays sanctuary 😬.
Will post tomorrow if I did or not, anyone taking bets 😂

ROARRRescue helps so many rodents across the country and we love meeting their residents. I tried my best to steal this gorgeous boy but Stacey was having none of it! 😂
Although this food states that it's 'complete' it isn't really. But it does make a decent enough base for a what these guys need.

A really kind and lovely person has offered this two seater settee for whichever rescue can pick it up, near Lisburn.
Please only message us if you are from a rescue and we'll pass it along.
Thank you 💜🐾

‼️ Red Weather Warning ‼️

Storm Eowyn has now been upgraded to a red warning, so please take time to consider what you can do today to protect your animals.

Some tips for tomorrow;

🐶 Ensure garden gates/fences etc have not blown open before letting dogs out to the garden.

🐱 Keep cats indoors where possible.

🐶🐱 Have a radio playing to keep wind noise down, close the curtains too.

🐰 Are small furries secure? If not, or you aren’t sure, bring them inside.

🐶 Avoid dog walking during the storm, play some inside games instead.

🐶🐱 Are your microchip details up to date if your pet was to run away?

🚗 Take extra care when driving. A frightened cat or dog will not have any road sense. Expect the unexpected!

Stay safe everbody ❤️

Surrounding Carla and the guys from Aldergrove Kennels is food and treats from you guys.
Carla and the team do a lot for local rescues and we're delighted to help them where we can 💜🐾

Today, Saturday 18th Jan at 4pm , we'll be standing side by side with Max's supporters.

Don't be brainwashed by people that think they are more powerful than you! They are wrong and just can't admit it!

This case highlights one of many known failings by councils and their staff, and the animal's pay for inflated ego's with their lives.

See you there? 💜🐾

🚨 EMERGENCY PROTEST 🚨

Join us tomorrow evening at the Lisburn Civic Centre/Lagan Valley Island at 4PM to demand the immediate release of Max the puppy.

This little pup has done nothing wrong, only look similar to a “banned breed.”

We cannot sit idly by whilst this innocent soul has been condemned to death under a draconian piece of legislation.

Join us in unison and use your voice!
Everyone welcome.

*Strictly no political party placards, lest you want to be publicly roasted*

Please be mindful of your conduct. This is a peaceful protest. Anyone who becomes verbally abusive or disrespectful will be told to leave.

A massive thank you to the staff and customers of Flynn Vets for their recent donation of cat and dog supplies. We can't wait to get these donated 💜🐾

We are sick of trolls trying to undermine the work we do. We've always been fair and let comments stay, even if they are 'against' us or what we are about, unless they became nasty.
However, from now on, we are going to block on the first instance, especially when you lie. We've no time for your games, it's hard enough, and this is the last time you'll get a response from us.
Troll = Block & Bye 👋🏽

Thank you to all the clients and staff of Jubilee Veterinary Centre.

Wishing all our Strayers a very Happy New Year.
2024 brought us a lot of ups, downs and losses. We will continue into 2025 with a positive mindset and try to continue helping as many as possible.
Rescue works better together after all. 💜🐾

At the outreach Xmas party last night there was music, party bags and great craic for the guys. Gifts were given to all the dogs and cats that came along, but I think Oreo was more interested in killing his squeaky toys 😂. Poppy was a perfect little lady as always.
Happy Christmas guys and girls! 💜🐾

Gundog Rescue and rehoming. non profit organisation called with us last week to fill their van with as much food as they can carry. Delighted to assist this rescue for the first time.
