Furry Friends Animal Rescue is a home-run rescue located in Mayo, Ireland dealing with various types of animals including dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, terrapins and smaller caged animals. We pride ourselves on being a non-destruct rescue, as well as operating a backup for life policy. There is a set adoption fee for all animals and this must be paid before we release the animal for adoption. Orig

inally we were a small animal rescue catering for smaller caged animals, and over time we started to take in other animals, from cats and dogs, to more exotic pets such as degus, chinchillas and the occasional reptile. We also spend a great deal of time helping animals that are in danger of being put to sleep. It is easily forgotten how many animals are in danger of euthanasia simply because there are just not enough good homes and spaces in rescue to cope with the amount of unwanted animals there are, and we do our best to save as many as possible. Being a home-run rescue, the majority of animals are cared for in a home environment. Any dogs that are not suitable for living with other pets are boarded in kennels where they continue to be assessed and basic training is put in place. We try as best as we can to match the right animal to the right person and circumstance. However, if anything happens in the new home and the adoptive person cannot keep the animal, we offer backup for all animals that leave our care for life so that they will always have a place to go.

This entire male tom cat was handed into rescue last night.
He is an extremely friendly cat and in excellent condition. Seems like a pet.
I've called him Clarence.
Found in the Charlestown, Mayo area.

Clarence will be castrated before leaving us. Kitten season is coming along and he will not be part of the problem.

If this is your cat, please get in touch to arrange collection after his operation. Proof of ownership required.

Thank you to everyone who has dropped off newspapers to the sanctuary.
Unfortunately due to terrible weather conditions (the big thaw and then constant rain) we are still in urgent need of more to ensure the dogs are kept dry after exercise.
If anybody has any more then we would be very grateful!

A little update on Toby the 15 year old Jack Russell.
I am pleased to say that he has found an end of life foster home 😊
As you can see here, the first night is going great 🥰
I was worried he would end his days in a kennel but happily I was wrong 😃

The first of many!
This is the first healthy tom cat to be picked up from the Charlestown colony.
Sadly the cat with the broken back end (road traffic accident) had to be humanely euthanased due to her injuries.
This cat has been castrated today and will be returned to site.
I stopped today and had a good look round in the daylight and there are cats everywhere and things have got out of hand so lots of work to do!
The neutering is kindly being covered by North West SPCA Ballina, Mayo IRL and trapping currently being done with help from the local community.

Toby is still looking for a comfy retirement sofa.
After some gentle work, he has accepted living with other dogs.
He learned that my Toby and Duke were no threat and met Minnie the farm cat with gentle manners.
He enjoys his walks in the field even though it is chilly at the moment and has limited sight and hearing - enough to follow me when he sees I am there.

Hoping to get help locally for a cat issue behind one of the businesses in Charlestown.
The issue is that 15 to 20 cats need to be TNR'd (trapped, neutered, released) including one poor soul who has a broken back who urgently needs help.
This cat is still very mobile but is dragging his paralysed back end over concrete.
I need people to check the traps a couple of times a day when I give the location and the cats will then be transferred in the traps directly to the vet by volunteers. I'm not expecting people to transfer the cats, just to let me know when one is trapped so that someone can come and get them as they cannot stay in the trap for long unsupervised.
Trapping will take place Sunday to Thursday (as the vet does not neuter over the weekend) and will be transferred directly to the vet for neutering the next day.

Would anybody be willing to help out with this situation - as trap checkers?

Please let me know if this would be something you would be able to help out with?

The North West SPCA Ballina, Mayo IRL have kindly offered to fund the neutering and this needs to be done ASAP and before breeding season roll round again!

Our Story

Furry Friends Animal Rescue is a home-run rescue located in Mayo, Ireland dealing with various types of animals including dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, terrapins and smaller caged animals. We pride ourselves on being a non-destruct rescue, as well as operating a backup for life policy. There is a set adoption fee for all animals and this must be paid before we release the animal for adoption. Originally we were a small animal rescue (UK based) catering for smaller caged animals, and over time we started to take in other animals, from cats and dogs, to more exotic pets such as degus, chinchillas and the occasional reptile, but invested in land in rural Ireland. We are now setting up to help larger animals such as pigs, sheep, goats and equine. We also spend a great deal of time helping animals that are in danger of being put to sleep. It is easily forgotten how many animals are in danger of euthanasia simply because there are just not enough good homes and spaces in rescue to cope with the amount of unwanted animals there are, and we do our best to save as many as possible. Being a home-run rescue, the majority of animals are cared for in a home environment. Any dogs that are not suitable for living with other pets are boarded in kennels where they continue to be assessed and basic training is put in place.
