City Cats

City Cat's Waterford is dedicated to Cats. Our aim is to increase cat welfare in and around Waterford He would not have lasted much longer.
(7)

'City Cat's' saw there is a great need for the availability of TNR within the city. Numerous cat colonies exist within the city area, and surrounding country areas. 'City Cat's' sees first hand the pain and suffering caused from unneutered colonies being fed in city and country areas. The inspiration for 'City Cat's' was one little kitten in particular who was a feral City Cat, well Kittten, livin

g in the inner city. He was a deaf white kitten and when rescued had obviously been attached by a dog or something. This kitten who was sickly thin and dirty, was roaming the street looking for food while maggots ate from his open wound. This little kitten is now a beautiful healthy cat. TNR programmes allow people to feed stray and feral cats with out worrying about numerous litters of kittens being born each year. City Cats is a totally voluntarily run not for profit organisation.

A shout out to the New Ross SPCA and Barrowside Vets in New Ross...

It's a pity the government wouldn't subsidise neutering of cats and dogs to prevent unwanted litters of kittens and puppies...

23/07/2023

These two little chipped and neutered cats are looking for a new homes through no fault of their own, their owner has been given a badly needed home by Waterford City and County Council but unfortunately they didn't include her cats, and as they have no cattery facility, unlike for dogs, these two cats are now out on their own....

23/07/2023

Yet we know of a lovely lady who Waterford City Council Waterford City and County Council are not allowing bring her 2 pet cats with her to the new living accommodation they are providing her with. Two more cats with no home to go to, one lovely lady and one lonely home.

*Graphic picture*
Our fantastic fundraisers seem to time their fundraising events to align with our most expensive procedures of late.
A tame but timid stray was reported to us along with many others over the past month or two. Unfortunately before we got to get this fellow, as he would come and go from the garden of the lady who reported him to us, he sustained an eye injury.
Finally he was caught and Suirside vets in Carrick kindly facilitated us and removed his eye this week.
The girls are hosting a stall at the Tramore Community Market tomo, again all and any monies raised go to all our cat operations, food, medications, worm and flea treatments and vaccinations where needed. So thank you so much yet again for your continued support.

Currently there are at least 2 lovely tame cats straying in the ferrybank area Fiodh Mhór. Tá mé Strays can bé brought to any vets and scanned for a microchip for free, they would also be able to tell you, for free I'm sure, is the cat female or male, and if male whether neutered or not.
I'm this case this male is not chipped but is neutered. We had been meaning to collect the other female to bring her to the vets to be scanned also.
But I am kinda wondering were these two cats abandoned by an owner, they both look similar in age and condition etc..

*Missing*
This beautiful 9year old little female cat is missing from Dunhill.
Please check closed garden sheds and out houses and areas where windows may have been open during the warm weather.

She is missing for 4 days from Dunhill village. She answers to Cake. She isn't chipped or wearing a collar. She's very friendly and would approach anyone for a rub and if you picked her up she would look to climb onto your shoulder.

Please get in touch by commenting below with any possible sightings. Please tell neighbours in Dunhill area who may not be on Facebook.

And, of course, please share...

*Missing*Ballygunner Village*
This stunning male cat Milo, is missing from Ballygunner village since Sunday, he is not chipped or neutered.
Not neutering a male cat means they will have an urge to wander to find a female cat, they can travel great distances to do so. They also will tend to have to fight to defend their territory and will end up with bite wounds, abcesses and other injuries from doing so. Often they will hide out when injured and then return home when hungry.
Please neuter your male and female cats, and dogs too of course.

Please comment below if you have seen Milo... He answers to his name.

05/06/2023

*Reunited* thanks to a kind lady living near by who was looking after her.

Sadly TNR, rescue and welfare is not all about clips of cute little colourful kittens. It's about the little runt of this litter of mainly brown kittens found open mouth breathing, gasping for air, lying flat on his chest, on cold concrete out of the sun, while his siblings who are twice his size played in the sun.
It's about visits to the vets and numerous injections to give him some strength to eat and hoping he will be able to take a bite in between breaths, it's about hoping he will be strong enough to get over the worst and have the strength to improve.... Slowly, daily care and nurturing, watching and keeping an eye on him and of course cuddle time with his siblings now he is feeling a tad better and they aren't ignoring him. It's also about getting messages wanting kittens of a certain colour, or the cute looking one, like buying something on amazon.
It's about trying to find homes for him, if he survives, and his not 'so cute or photogenic' brothers, in a world where people love to post reels of cute colourful kittens, and some rescues wouldn't even give the weak ones a chance, and most especially weak ones that may not be deemed as cute as the rest, and just put them to sleep.
It's about having the cop on to neuter your pets and strays as there are, I think it is safe to say, enough kittens for everyone out there already....

*Reunited* *Delighted* Missing Ginger Cat called 'Ginger' *
*Ferrybank area including in and around the golf club, rockshire road, arbourmount, newrath, mullinabro areas'
We are hoping some one has seen this little female cat in the Rockshire Road area of Ferrybank, she may have wandered further a field.
She is quite a timid little cat, and more so when out of her comfort zone, extremely friendly and loving but may acted cranky as she is lost.
Please let us know if you have seen her in your back garden or elsewhere or maybe you have begun feeding her with in the last wk.

A few months back now, we were called to help with a little black and white cat we have been helping since we first trapped her and her cat buddies so they could be neutered.
She and her buddies honestly have been some of the most difficult cats to catch, with numerous people keeping them well fed they wouldn't bother with the trap.
But eventually as we do, we caught all the colony for neutering. Since then we have had to go through the trauma a few times for them to be treated for cat flu and other ailments.
Late last year the little black and white cat was in a bad state with cat flu, so we trapped her to be treated by her local vets.
While trapping her, her buddy Ginger looked on from the safety of the wall, and I noticed he had quite the growth on his paw. So I took the best pic I could, while I could, and ask our vets for advice. Best thing was to trap him, sedate him and examine him, knowing the growth could then be removed if need be.
Then earlier this year we got another call back their carer noticed a growth around the little black and white cats eye, so the process started again.
This time we actually got her quite quickly, like she knew she needed help.
The problem a tumour on her 3rd eye lid needed to be removed ASAP, the easiest option for a feral cat where follow up is so limited was to remove the eye.
It's not often we have two growth removals from two cats from the same colony within a couple of months of each other.
Thanks to Jim, Rachel and Breda in Tír na Bhó both cats are now doing great....

Delighted to be able to help re rehome the beautiful cat Bonnie who we first took in after her previous owners had passed away at the end of 2020.
Sadly her new owners contacted us this year, as they were returning to the states, and she would have been too old to fly. But as you can see she has truly settled and is loving her newest furever home 😻🤞😻
Gratitude to Michelle in ISPCA Waterford also who we initially took Bonnie in from, and who knew off the perfect lady to rerehome her to....

Missing Farran Park area. Please keep an eye out for this little cat..

09/04/2023

Recently helped get an elderly semi /feral cat to the vets to be examined and treated at Tir na Bho'..
It seems he was left with no one to care for him years back when his owner died.
Thankfully someone cared enough to call us to get him looked at when they realised how bad his coat was.....
He is roughly 10 years old and had to be sedated to be examined and unfortuantely due to the rock hard state of his coat it had to be totally removed..however I'm sure he felt like a differant cat with the below pictured old coat removed...

07/04/2023

Update: Pic of the young male rescued by a concerned passer by from dodging traffic on the Dunmore Road by River Cottage!! He is a right little pet..
If he is your kitty please contact us...

Thanks to your donations we could cover the cost for this little stray to have his eye removed.....

It's that time of year where unneutered male cats from 6 months and upwards will start to roam if outdoors. They don't have to be feral to have the urge to wander, your pet cat or older kitten will roam off too. So please if your kitten or cat isn't neutered, get them neutered ASAP. This little friendly unneutered young male showed up in a garden in Poleberry this week....

A short video clip of just some of one colony of City Cats we carried out TNR on the city centre, in 2021. In 2020 a French student living in apartments there contacted us about cats he was feeding to the rear of the apartments, so we did TNR, and got all but one cat neutered, before we lost touch with him as he moved. No one else was the main feeder and the cats dispersed till 2021, when luckily for us and the cats, another very kind student, a Polish chap on this occasion, began feeding the cats there, and happened to contact us, when a new mammy cat and kittens appeared. We carried out TNR on the remaining cats, but yet again we have one cat there left to get, who is proving extremely tricky to catch, paws crossed we get her this month. This colony of cats are 'community cats', no one person owns them and people randomly feed them, it would be very unfair to ask one person who feeds them and contacts us to pay for an entire colony to be neutered, so unfortunately no one funds our neutering and treatment of them all..... Bar you!!! We Honestly Could Not do it without You!! We pay our petrol, we give our time, the vets we use are extremely kind to us, both Tír na Bhó and Viking Vets, but You pay Our Vet bills for cases like these...and we are forever grateful.... Without you we would be unable to continue to help City Cats like these in 2023.....

Two of our little rescue kittens, settled into their new home and enjoying the footie, as only cats can 😻🥅⚽😻

Safe in from the cold now, after being picked up from the road to Kilmacow a week or so ago .... This little tiny one is now happily settled in to her new home... ❤️😻

Super friendly kittens Spot ams Sally would love a family.... ...

*Update* Amazingly and thanks to the wonderful work and patience of our Foster mammy, we found loving homes for these 2 beauties. Thanks so much to Foster mum's Trish and Shonagh 😻😻 We have 2 lovely friendly little dark torties left out of 7 kittens we have in Foster in Dungarvan. All 3 mum cats have been kindly spayed by Deise Vets and are home and happy. Spot is a tad darker than her sister Sally and both are Super Friendly. We would love to get these two a loving family home. They are approx 4mnths old, and will be neutered prior to rehoming. They have been used to outdoors so far, so an out door home with the potential to be indoor outdoor cats would be lovely. Please comment below or send a WhatsApp msg...
