⚠️ XL-BULLY BREED EXEMPTION DEADLINE REMINDER ⚠️

We would like to remind any XL Bully type breed dog owners that from 1st February 2025, it will be unlawful to own an XL Bully dog unless the owner has obtained a Certificate of Exemption issued by the Local Authority in which the dog resides. An application for such exemption should include Veterinary Confirmation that your dog has been neutered.

The DRCD (Department of Rural & Community Development) is funding a targeted Dog Neutering Voucher Scheme to support members of disadvantaged communities (T&Cs apply) that wish to neuter their dogs but cannot afford to do so. This scheme will have a particular focus on, and priority for, XL Bully type dogs in advance of the 1st February 2025 deadline.

To find out more about the XL-Bully Neutering Scheme, please email the ISPCA as soon as possible at [email protected] or contact an ISPCA affiliated member near you here: https://ispca.ie/affiliate-members/

Payton, our youngest kitten, was not best pleased yesterday when he had to have a well needed bath. 🛁
Bathing kittens is not something they generally need as they usually clean themself, but young orphaned kittens who are only just learning to eat by them self and have no mum to teach them to wash themselves can end up needing a bit of help at times.

( Payton has been booked for his new home)

We often post about sick and injured animals on our page, which is the stark reality of animal rescue, but isn't it lovely to see healthy animals too?
This stunning girl is Polly. We knew her as Mistique, when she was first found and trapped just over 1 year ago with a
completely ruptured eye.
She has done fantastic since being adopted and is loving her family and her fur sibling

Vicky came to us as a stray cat this weekend passed.
She was a regular stray in the neighbourhood, and a family noticed she wasn't looking good and was in need of help.
Sadly, she was in a dreadful state.
Her fur was totally matted, like hardened felt with clumps hanging of her sides.
She was suffering from cat flu, had very bad teeth, and there was a dreadful smell of her. She was dehydrated and as light as a feather.
Sadly, she tested positive for fiv, and she was put to sleep.
Vicky was an older lady who had spent her life on the streets. She was lucky she had someone who got her help in the end when she needed it and wasn't left to suffer alone.

We have a special lady looking for an inside only home today.

13 months old Snow Bengal girl, Nala!

Nala is spayed, microchipped, wormed, and has had her first vaccination.

Nala is super affectionate and playful.

SNOW BENGAL DESCRIPTION:

These cats are smart, high-energy, and attention-seeking! They love human company and are affectionate.

Snow Bengals can be talkative and make a few distinct noises that serve as just another reminder that these cats aren’t your average domestic pet. They might chirp or coo to get your attention or make an annoying noise when they want to let you know that something has displeased them. They love exploring their homes and enjoy climbing whatever they can, whenever they can.

Snow Bengal cats make wonderful family pets as long as you have plenty of time to dedicate to keeping these busy cats entertained.

Their bold and playful nature makes them a great companion for older kids who want a cat that will love to play games for hours on end.
Bengal cats can be taught to walk on a leash for extra exercise
