This little one is reserved and omg such a character. It was an individual kitten abandoned by its mammy but the other 4 kitties took to it and they all got on famously, this one being the cheekiest of the lot. So this is how we train our dragons lol. Having so much craic with this one who is going to a new home next week.

Mr Gizmo is still a bit shy. Prob the fact he was an older kitten ( maybe 5 months old) when he was trapped, has been dependant on his mammy for so long and wants so badly to.come.forward but is wary. I'm working every few hours handling and treating him and he is improved soon much. No problem having his strokes and rubs once he trust you. Neutered wormed and ready for a patient home that will continue his confidence.

Mammy cat is the sweetest lady. All neutered wormed and ready for someone just to love her. She's a real house cat, spotlessly clean and full of loves. This one i can see sitting beside ya all day. Ideal for companionship for someone.

Delighted to be a registered member of this great organisation. We are overseen by this association who have the welfare and comfort of all your pets in our care under observation. As a registered business we are constantly upskilling , taking training courses, further educating ourselves and monitored. Please be wary of where you leave your pets , as sadly there are unscrupulous people out there with no insurance , safety procedures, enclosed areas or any form of training. All looks great on drop off but pets are ending up in cages or dog crates once you leave
As an unregulated business it's up to you as owners to go visit kennels and be fully happy prior to boarding your pet. It's very easy be"cheaper" when the same facilities and safety is not provided. Be wary, check things out and make sure these people are fully insured.

I love getting updates. This kitten is absolutely flying it in her new home with her 2 new yorkie besties. THIS is what makes fostering worth while

When you are 16 years young, and the p*epers ain't what they uesta be, and the ears don't catch what they once did but you are still the cutest girleen. Loving this little oldie lady. Much easier be carried than asked to walk sure.

Some beautiful kittens and cats looking for their forever homes. Please do NOT buy pets for Christmas. Adopt or even foster.

𝑨𝒏 𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒎𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒐𝒔𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒐𝒏 𝑺𝑷𝑪𝑨 𝒂𝒕 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒎𝒂𝒔:

Buyer's regret is common all year but especially at Christmas. As we enter the festive season, we are appealing to everyone to please refrain from giving or acquiring animals as gifts. As the renown slogan rightly says: an animal is for life not just for Christmas. Pets do not have gift receipts.

Unfortunately, it is all too easy to underestimate the time, energy and money required to properly care for our furry friend's long term. And to forget that they chew, need patient toilet training and grow much larger than their original cute puppy or kitten phase. The festive season is entirely unsuitable for integrating a new fur baby, manic as it is in all households.

The Roscommon SPCA invariably end up trying to cope with a post-Christmas wave of abandoned and surrendered pets which is hugely upsetting. As a voluntarily organisation which is entirely dependent on a core group of dedicated volunteers this also stretches us to our limit. We do not have our own premises so trying to source new homes is a difficult, costly and emotionally draining endeavour.

We have a range of beautiful animals crying out for adoption throughout the year. So, please'. Press pause/paws this Christmas to weigh up all the commitment required from a responsible pet owner. Many thanks for your consideration in this regard from us all in the Roscommon SPCA.
