    Ginny and Winston

    Cat · Female

    Co. Dublin, Ireland

    All the best things come in pairs. Peanut butter and jam, salt and pepper. There are plenty of iconic duos, but none are quite as adorable or as cuddly as Ginny and Winston! These lovely girls are searching for their forever home together, and they truly are the perfect pair. Ginny and Winston are wonderfully friendly and would fit into almost any family. They get along beautifully with children, dogs, and other cats, but they'd be just as happy in a quieter home without any furry or little companions. While they're affectionate, playful, and love a cuddle, they're also independent and content to entertain themselves when you're busy. Sadly, Ginny and Winston are looking for a new home after their beloved owner passed away. They were deeply loved and cared for, and they deserve another home where they'll be cherished just as much. If you've been searching for the perfect pair, your search is over. Come and meet Ginny and Winston. They can't wait to find the loving forever home they deserve.

    Puddy

    Cat · Female

    Co. Dublin, Ireland

    Meet Puddy, a clever, independent-minded lady, looking for a kind and understanding human to give her a safe and attentive home. Puddy is a very clever, adventurous girl who loves to spend time outside. Puddy is a little on the wild side, but is the perfect friend for a patient person. Puddy had a difficult start in life; when she was just a kitten, she was attacked by a dog and very nearly didn’t make it. She pulled through, but the event has left her nervous around other animals and people, and she prefers only to take pettings on her own terms. Most of the time she keeps her distance, but when she feels comfortable, she will come and sit with you and even allow you to stroke her head. Puddy gets really anxious if people are too forward with her, but will never attack a person unprovoked. What she needs is a person who can really respect her need for space. Puddy grew up on a farm so she loves the outdoors and enjoys a nighttime stroll in the garden. She also loves to play with laser and wand toys! Puddy has been through an awful lot, but really needs a home where she can feel safe and loved and where there is someone to keep her company, even if it’s from the other side of the sofa. If you are that kind and patient person, please get in touch! The Purr-fect Forever Home Solo ruler Indoor/Outdoor Outdoor with shelter (garden or farm) Needs a patient human

    Sally

    Cat · 11 months · Female

    Co. Dublin, Ireland

    Meet Sally — 11 months old, full of personality, and 100% ready to steal your heart🐈‍⬛😏 👸 Independent queen. She's got toys, she's got hobbies, she's got herself entertained for hours. Low-maintenance bestie energy. 🐱 Head boops > everything. Her hello is a gentle headbutt and a tiny squeaky "mrow". Who can resist that? 👶🐶 Kid-tested, dog-approved. Calm and gentle around young children (toddlers included), unbothered by dogs, and would likely do fine with another cat too — though she's just as happy as an only cat.. 🏠 A little time to settle in. She's spent the last few months in a small space at the vet's, so a bigger home might feel new at first. A patient adjustment period (maybe starting in a smaller room) will go a long way. 🙅‍♀️ No carrying, please. Sally's not a lap cat or a "pick me up" girl — she gives affection on her own schedule, and that's the deal. If you want a calm, gentle, independent little lady who'll boop your forehead and quietly become your whole personality — Sally is it. 🐾 The Purr-fect Forever Home Child-friendly Indoor Dog-friendly (Can be rehomed with dogs) Special needs kitty (Sally tested positive for FIV. But she's healthy, spayed, vaccinated, microchipped)

    Oreo

    Cat · 8 months · Female

    Co. Dublin, Ireland

    Oreo is a sweet and loyal girl looking for her forever home! Oreo is about eight months old now and is still very much a kitten at heart; she loves to play and zoom about the house but equally loves to cuddle up beside her human buddy and sleep. Oreo is an incredibly chill girl; all she really wants is to curl up beside you in a comfy spot. This cat is a real shadow. She’ll follow you around all day, she just loves company! Oreo loves to play with strings, ribbons and shadows and loves to meow until she succeeds in getting morning snacks! She can be a bit territorial, so she might not be best suited to a house with another cat. She’s also more than a little terrified of the Hoover and of plastic bags. Oreo is a sweet, affectionate and playful little cat who is so eager to meet a new friend and to find her forever home!

    Biscuit

    Cat · 3 years · Male

    Co. Dublin, Ireland

    Meet Biscuit – The orange and white cat who got lost during the cat distribution system delivery and now needs help finding his forever home. Biscuit is an orange and white kitty. He is estimated to be about 3 years old. He kind of just showed up one day, super hungry. Thankfully some kind people noticed and fed him. Now it is time to find him his own purfect forever home. He would really appreciate a forever home where he can safely go outside, but also come inside when he wants. He really likes his independence and since we only know he is a stray, it seems so far in his life, he has spent his time outside. He would also prefer it if he was an only child/cat. He would love pawrents who only have eyes for him. Just because he values his independence, doesn’t mean he doesn’t want attention and love. Once he settles in, you’ll see he is a friendly cat. He is quite a chatty kitty and would love to get to know you and tell you stories of his travels. Do you have space in your heart and home for a cat who just wants to be a cat and find a family?

    Mila

    Cat · Female

    Co. Dublin, Ireland

    Say hello to Mila, a stunning calico mama cat with the sweetest soul! Mila has had a busy time raising her little family, and now it is her turn to be pampered. She is a gentle, quiet girl who prefers soft routines and cozy spots where she can sit back and watch the world go by at her own pace. Wet food is the absolute key to her heart! Mila is a shy lady who finds loud noises, the TV, and fast movements a bit scary. She might give a soft hiss when she feels frightened, but she has made amazing progress in foster care—trading her growls for soft, happy purrs! She finds comfort in the company of other cats, so she will need a quiet home with a friendly resident cat to show her the ropes and help her feel secure. Watching Mila gain confidence day by day is deeply rewarding. She will require spaying once she settles in, and with a patient human, she is going to blossom into the most loving companion.

    Hope and Faith

    Cat

    Co. Dublin, Ireland

    Hope & Faith - Two Fighters Looking for Someone to Believe in Them These two precious babies have already fought harder than most ever should. They were rescued from a colony of more than 30 cats and kittens, where sickness had taken hold. From the moment they came into our care, it was a battle for their lives. There have been countless vet visits, medications, eye drops, sleepless nights, and so much hope poured into these little souls. Today, we're so grateful to say they are finally on the mend Their journey isn't over yet. Both kittens have significant eye issues, and while we're doing everything possible to save their eyes, it is still too early to know the long-term outcome. As they grow, they may require one or both eyes to be surgically removed (enucleation), but that decision can only be made when they are older. What they need now isn't perfection—they need someone willing to love them exactly as they are. These kittens don't know they're different. They still play, cuddle, explore, and purr with all their hearts. They deserve a family who sees beyond their medical needs and recognizes the beautiful, resilient little lives they are. CDPA will support their future adopter by providing access to discounted veterinary rates for their ongoing care, helping to ensure they continue to receive the treatment they need.

    Marcus

    Cat · Male

    Co. Dublin, Ireland

    Have you ever wanted to meet a real Martian? Then say hello to Marcus! This charming tabby “Martian” has a name that means “dedicated to Mars”—and while he may sound out of this world, his affectionate nature is wonderfully down to earth. After spending time on the streets, Marcus now searching for a forever home where he can enjoy his down-to-earth lifestyle and jump on the occasional lap to get his much-deserved pets. In fact, Marcus is quite the conversationalist and will often chat away, making sure you know he’s ready for some well-deserved head scratches! This handsome boy is also very particular about his grooming routine. Every chance he gets, he heads straight for a scratching mat to keep his nails in perfect condition. When he’s feeling especially content, you’ll often find him lying on his back with all four paws in the air—a sure sign that he’s feeling safe, relaxed, and right at home. Marcus is a big fan of wet food and isn’t too fussy about the brand, as long as there’s something tasty in his bowl. To keep Marcus happy and healthy, he will need to be the only cat in the household and remain an indoor cat. He is FELV+, which means he can still live a long and fulfilling life, but there is a risk of transmission to other cats. If you’re ready to welcome this special little “Martian” into your home, don’t hesitate to reach out—Marcus can’t wait to meet you!
