The organization was set up during the Millennium Year to address the serious problem of unwanted and abandoned dogs and cats in the county. Any dogs that come into our care are put into a foster home, vaccinated, then sent to the Pound, collected five days later, neutered if old enough and then found a new home. People who find stray cats are also assisted with neutering them and homes are found for kittens. Full grown cats are more difficult to rehome, but sometimes people will take them. We also maintain a list of animals, the owners of which, for one reason or another, need to find them new homes. So we endeavour to find accommodation for them too. We have a collie neutering scheme whereby, with the help of the Department of Agriculture, we provide vouchers to the value of €60.00 to try to reduce the number of unwanted collie pups. We also operate a feral cat neutering scheme. We supply cat traps on loan to people or institutions with cat problems. Cats are trapped humanely, neutered and returned. We offer some financial assistance towards the cost of neutering. We have an education programme whereby about twenty schools or youth groups are visited each year and given a talk on animal welfare. |
