Oonagh and her kitties

July 7th, 2010

Oonagh Orla

Oscar1 Oisine

Oonagh was found with her kittens Orla, Oscar and Oisin had made camp near the house of one of our volunteers who cared for them in their first days.  Having a houseful of cats herself we arranged for another foster home to care for them whilst we look for a new home.  Oonagh is a long haired black cat and we believe this is her first litter, she is a doting mum.  Her three kittens are all short haired, mainly black with the odd small white patch, all are healthy and playful and ready to find new adventures.  If you can give Oonagh and/or any of her kittens a new home please contact us on 087 0505594

If anybody can help out for an hour or so on that Saturday that would be fantastic! If you would like to help out please contact Karen on 087 9092186.

Moon and Shadow

July 1st, 2010

24052010248

Having received a call about a young cat who had given birth to kittens a couple of days earlier we found Moon hidden with her kitten Shadow under a hedge in a field. No other kittens were to be found and we can only speculate about their fate. We would love to rehome them together as they have remained very close. Moon has also proved herself to be an extraordinarily caring mother and whilst in her foster home she adopted three kittens who had been abandoned when only a few days old. Those kittens will also need rehoming in a few weeks time. Moon is very affectionate and her daughter Shadow who is now about 10 weeks old is just looking for mischief. If you can offer them a caring home please contact us on 087 0505594

Jack and Ellie

jackp2elliep1

Jack and Ellie have become good friends since sharing a foster home together, but now need to find permanent home(s).

jackp1Jack is approximately 3 months old, he is a whippet/lurcher cross who was found in a dreadful state, starved and badly dehydrated and had to be rushed to Innishfree Hospital as he was not expected to survive. but he did and as you can see he is lovely…he is very friendly and good with cats.

He has been vaccinated, wormed and defleaed and is almost house-trained.

elliep3Ellie is a young spaniel/setter cross who was rescued from the pound having been found wandering around Roscommon, she has been in foster care since and is responding well. She has been vaccinated, wormed and defleaed and undergoing house-training. Ellie is a very good listener who should be easily trained. She plays well with Jack – they are both bundles of fun.

If you can offer Jack and/or Ellie the home they deserve please contact us on 087 0505594

    About

    Charity Number:
    CHY 18790

    roscommonanimals.com is the online home of Roscommon SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). We are a non-profit organisation run by people who volunteer their time. We look out for the care and protection of animals in County Roscommon.

    We believe that animals should have

    * Freedom from hunger, thirst and malnutrition

    * Freedom from discomfort

    * Freedom from disease and injury

    * Freedom to behave normally

    * Freedom from distress and fear

     

    Many thanks to the Department of Agriculture, from whom we have just received a generous grant of 10,000 euro (Dec. 2009), we are indeed very grateful for this. Without that money the Society would not be able to cope. We have received a grant from the Department for the past few years. Unfortunately though, we still have to do a huge amount of fundraising in order to keep going. We use private boarding kennels for the rescued dogs, and this, and vet bills cost a lot of money.
