The ISPCA are trying to rehome 91 cats and kittens currently being cared for in centres in Donegal, Longford and Cork, it has emerged.
19 of the cats are currently being cared for at the Donegal Animal Rehabilitation Centre, with 68 more at Longford National Animal Centre, as well as four kittens at the Equine Rescue Centre in Mallow.
“Cat overpopulation is a serious animal welfare concern and we are currently caring for 68 cats and kittens at our National Animal Centre,” said ISPCA centre manager Hugh O’Toole.
“Some cats and kittens are being treated for various ailments in our isolation unit which is now full to capacity, with a waiting list of more cats and kittens to be admitted.
“Once they receive the veterinary all-clear, they will be moved from isolation to our main cattery when they are ready for adoption.”
All of the cats and kittens being rehomed from the ISPCA are fully vaccinated, treated for parasites, neutered/spayed, and litter-trained.
Anyone interested in getting a cat or kitten, should contact the appropriate ISPCA centre.
