These 2 sweet female kittens are looking for their forever homes. Approximately 6 weeks old. They were unfortunately dumped and found along the road.
Dumping animals is never the answer. It's not only unkind but also puts these vulnerable creatures in danger. If you can't care for an animal, please reach out to local shelters or rescue groups. There are always better options. These kittens are proof that every life matters, and they all deserve a loving home.
If you can offer these kittens the forever home they deserve, call us on 043 3336456.

What a good boy! Teddy is a pro at sitting still on the weighing scales, calm as can be. He definitely deserves extra treats for being such a patient and well-behaved boy!

Meet Ruth and Orla with our Cian's Kennels charity box. This incredible charity helps sick children stay connected with their beloved canine companions. Cian's kennels transports the family pet from home to the DSPCA Kennels in Dublin and then shuttles the pet to their visiting kennels at CHI Crumlin, all at no cost to the families. It's a wonderful way to bring comfort and joy to children during a difficult time.

Weighing puppies is like trying to measure a tiny, wiggly ball of joy - adorably unpredictable! These little bundles of energy are always on the move, turning a simple task into a game of wiggles and giggles. Just when you think they're sitting still, they're off again, chasing shadows or curiously sniffing the scale.
But that's the magic of it - every tiny wriggle and playful nudge reminds us that even the smallest moments with puppies are packed with joy and laughter. ❤️🐶

Why Neutering Your Cat is Essential for Boarding Kennels

When preparing your cat for a stay at a boarding kennel, neutering is a crucial step that must be taken. Neutering your cat not only helps control the pet population but also ensures a safer and more harmonious environment at the boarding facility. Here are a few key reasons why neutering your cat before boarding is essential:

Reduced Aggression: Neutered cats are generally less aggressive, reducing the likelihood of fights and injuries among boarded cats.

Less Marking: Neutered cats are less prone to spraying and marking their territory, ensuring a cleaner and more pleasant environment for all.

Health Benefits: Neutering reduces the risk of certain cancers and health issues, keeping your cat healthier during their stay.

Kennel Requirements: Many boarding kennels require cats to be neutered to maintain a safe and peaceful environment for all feline guests.

Ensure your cat is neutered well in advance of their stay at the boarding kennel to give them time to recover and adjust. This simple step is not only a requirement for many kennels but also contributes significantly to your cat's well-being and the overall harmony of the boarding facility.

It's that wonderful time of year when we all dream of escaping on a holiday! Just a friendly reminder: make sure your furry friends, both dogs and cats, have their vaccines up to date before they head off to their own little vacation at the kennels. Remember, vaccines are an annual affair.

Getting a kitten can be a delightful and rewarding experience, but it comes with responsibilities. Kittens require time, attention, and care as they grow. You'll need to provide a safe, kitten-proofed environment, regular veterinary check-ups, vaccinations, and proper nutrition. Socialization and playtime are essential for their development and well-being. Consider the long-term commitment, as cats can live up to 20 years. If you're ready for the joy and challenges of raising a kitten, you'll gain a loyal and loving companion.
