Our Gruffalo litter weren’t quite sure how to react to the news that their lovely mum, Owl, had found her forever home on Saturday. But they were very happy to hear that they’re now ready to start their own search for forever families! Tiddler, Zog, Frog, Squirrel and Gruffalo are all looking for their forever homes. As they are a close knit, playful bunch, we’re looking to home them in pairs or with another young, social and playful cat because kittenhood is even better with a friend! As with all our wonderful kittens, they will be looking for indoor homes where they will be part of the family. We do not home our kittens to sheds, garages, outbuildings or similar accommodation. All of our kittens are vaccinated, microchipped and neutered before adoption, and most importantly, we take the time to match each kitten with a home that is right for their individual needs and personality. Could you be the forever family these little characters has been waiting for?
Our fabulous bottle babies, and their bonus brother Beans, are officially ready to take the next step in their little adventure..... finding their forever families! Believe us when we say that this bunch of bounciness is not for the faint hearted! Athena, Buck, Chimney, Eddie, Hen and Beans are six happy, confident and ridiculously entertaining little characters who are full of energy, curiosity and have a zest for life. They are at the age where everything is exciting, everything is a game and apparently everything needs to be investigated! Because kittens are happiest with a feline friend to grow up with, these little ones will be rehomed in pairs. They all get along wonderfully but some sibling combinations have formed particularly strong bonds and complement each other better than others. So rather than simply picking two kittens, we will help match each one with the sibling who is the best fit for them and their family. Like all our kittens, they must live indoors as part of the family. Safe outdoor access when they are older is a bonus, but it isn't essential. They can live with respectful children and other cats and, having started their lives in foster care alongside dogs, they have already had a great introduction to the world around them. Of course, like all kittens and cats we rehome they are vaccinated, microchipped and neutered before adoption. What they need now is a family ready for the fun, the zoomies, the mischief, the cuddles and all the adventures that come with raising kittens. We think they are pretty special. Now they just need the families who will think so too. Please remember that these kittens will be carefully matched and rehomed as pairs, with their personalities and relationships taken into consideration to give them the very best chance of a happy life together.
Rip & Tuna are two little souls who found each other and became inseparable. Rip is a happy go lucky little guy with a huge personality. He is incredibly affectionate, adores his cuddles and is always ready for a bit of fun. He has such a lovely, easy going nature although if you open a packet of crisps, be warned as he will be straight over to see what’s on offer! Tuna is a little more shy and cautious when he first meets you. He looks to Rip for reassurance and encouragement, but once he feels safe and comes out of his shell, he is the sweetest, chattiest little fella. He loves his pets, his cuddles and being around his favourite people. These two aren't brothers by blood, but they are brothers in every way that matters. Their bond is incredibly special, and they are truly inseparable. Rip gives Tuna the confidence he needs, while Tuna is never far from Rip's side. Rip was once a tiny bottle baby, while Tuna was found alone and frightened. In their caring foster home they found each other and have never looked back. They are looking for a loving home together where they can continue to grow in confidence, have plenty of attention and, most importantly, never have to be without each other. Two different personalities. One very special bond. One forever home.
We have four adorable kittens—three boys and one girl, aged 4–5 months—who are ready to find their loving forever homes! Currently staying with the family who cares for their mom, these sweet kittens have been fully health checked, spayed/neutered with the assistance of RCDR, and are doing brilliantly!
Dusty is a beautiful greyish tabby looking for her forever home! She was recently spayed, is in fantastic health, and has a lovely, friendly nature. Dusty is going to make an incredible, devoted companion for the right home. If you are looking for a loyal, single-pet companion to shower with affection, Dusty is the girl for you!
Fluffy is a five-year-old, neutered male and a much-loved family pet. Because of a genuine situation, they have to make the heartbreaking decision to re- home him.
Beignet, Shortcake, Eclair and Macaroon have spent the last two months in the most wonderful foster home and what a difference those two months has made! Eclair is the ultimate velcro baby affectionate, gentle, incredibly people oriented and happiest when he is with his humans. He loves cuddles, follows his favourite people around and is always ready to make friend. He is also wonderfully chatty and has the funniest little high pitched meow! Macaroon is his confident, lively little partner in crime. She is affectionate, curious, extremely playful and very much the leader of this little gang. She loves people, loves attention and is usually the first to investigate anything new! Eclair absolutely adores her. They cuddle, groom and play together and Eclair often looks to Macaroon for confidence and reassurance. They really do complement each other beautifully. We would especially love Eclair and Macaroon to be adopted together too. What makes these four so special isn't just their individual personalities it is the relationships they've built along the way and that brings us to their incredible foster family. We cannot thank their foster family enough for everything they have done for these kittens! They haven't simply cared for four kittens for two months. They have taken the time to understand them, earn their trust, recognise their individual needs and, most importantly, give them the security to become confident little personalities. Now it's time for this pair to find their forever family. Eclair & Macaroon, two affectionate, playful little partners in crime.
When two slices of toast are not enough, add a third!! French toast is a very sweet and loving little fella who has been bunking with Vanilla Toast and Cinnamon Toast, as he was struggling on his own. French Toast is looking for his forever home where he will have lots of company throughout the day and another young (under 2) playful cat/kitten for company and to help him continue to develop and learn good behaviors.
Toast can be a bit boring on its own, so why not add a little Vanilla and Cinnamon? Our double trouble duo, "Vanilla Toast" and "Cinnamon Toast" are ready to find their forever home! From the moment these two met, they became the best of friends. They can fight like cats and dogs, wind each other up, chase each other around and generally create absolute mayhem, but when the day is done, you'll find then curled up together in a ball. They also become distressed when separated, so these two are very much a package deal! They are both high energy, affectionate little characters who will keep you entertained and very much on your toes. Vanilla Toast is a total sweetheart who loves everyone and is always happy to hand out cuddles. Cinnamon is a little more selective. He likes you to earn your place first, but once you've passed inspection, he turns into a very affectionate boy who absolutely loves his people. They're both litter trained, although Cinnamon does have one particular requirement..... his litter tray needs to be kept clean. If he feels standards have slipped, he's quite capable of finding somewhere else to do his business, so keeping his tray fresh is important with this particular gentleman. These two are curious, busy and very good at finding things they probably shouldn't be doing so they need a home where someone is around for a good part of the day and where they can be involved in all parts of family life rather than being left to amuse themselves. Because if left to find their own fun, they will! Vanilla has also been through more than her fair share already. She suffered a horrible leg injury which has thankfully healed, although the leg has fused. She uses it incredibly well and it doesn't stop her running, playing or getting into trouble, but unfortunately she is likely to develop arthritis earlier in life. With the right care and monitoring, there is absolutely no reason why she can't lead a full and happy life. She also popped a stitch after her spay and will need a follow up review with our vets at Croí na Mara over the next month. Believe us when we say, if there is trouble to be found these two will find it. We're looking for a loving, committed busy home, ideally locally, where these two can grow up together and be a proper part of the family. They can live with other cats and dogs with sensible introductions, but because they are enthusiastic and can play quite roughly, we don't feel they're suitable for very young children. If your idea of the perfect home involves two affectionate little maniacs following you around, supervising everything you do, providing entertainment when you didn't ask for it and then collapsing together for a cuddle at the end of the day then Vanilla and Cinnamon Toast might just be the perfect pair for you. The only question is......are you ready for them?
Robin and Finch are the last two of their litter, with mum Dove and their siblings having flown off to their forever homes a few weeks ago. But these two adorable boys are still waiting patiently for their turn. They are cheeky, fun and full of adventure. Robin & Finch are a brilliant little duo who would happily join another playful, friendly cat in the home or, of course, ideally make a wonderful pair together! Could these two be the missing pieces in your family?
After growing up together, learning, playing and getting into all sorts of kitten mischief our gorgeous Eyrecourt 5 are ready to start the next chapter of their lives. These five are sweet, loving, playful and full of personality. They are at that wonderful age where there is never a dull moment. They enjoy plenty of zoomies, plenty of cuddles and plenty of fun! We would love to see them go in pairs, as they are happiest with feline company, but we will also consider suitable homes where a kitten will have plenty of attention, interaction and stimulation. They can live with:- 🐱 Other friendly cats 🐶 Cat-savvy dogs 👧 Children, following a successful meet and greet If you've been thinking about adding a kitten, or two!, to your family, these five are waiting to meet you. They have done their time waiting for their chance. Now they just need someone to say “you're the ones!” Could that be you? Please remember that kittens, especially single kittens, are high energy and require just as much attention and training as a puppy. So we're looking for homes ready for all the fun, chaos, expense and love that comes with them!
Anu arrived heavily pregnant, frightened and unsure of the world around her. Thankfully a safe, quiet and peaceful foster home was waiting for her, where foster mum Edel gave her the time, patience and security she needed to relax and raise her beautiful babies, Flori, Savarin and Sabel. Anu has returned to the Cattery but Anu's kittens, Flori, Savarin and Sabel have stayed with Edel a little longer. We would absolutely love to see them all find their forever families soon, so their next chapter can begin. Like their mum, Anu’s babies have a naturally gentle and slightly reserved and timid nature. They aren't the kittens who will necessarily rush straight over to greet you but give them a little time to settle, earn their trust and build that bond and you will discover the sweetest, loving little personalities underneath. They would be happiest in homes where they can continue to build their confidence, ideally with another friendly cat to learn from and take reassurance from. We feel they would be best suited to quieter homes without boisterous dogs or very young children. They may need a little patience at the beginning, but the bond you build with them will make that patience so worthwhile. If you think you could offer Flori the loving, settled home she deserves, please complete an adoption application form. Flori is ready for her next chapter........ could you be part of it?
When filming wrapped on RTÉ’s upcoming series The Yank and the production team thought they were saying goodbye to Connemara with everything packed up and ready to go, but Connemara had other plans. With the last bits of equipment were packed and loaded, they discovered four tiny kittens who most definitely hadn’t been part of the original cast. The team searched the area but sadly there was no sign of a mum. Rather than leaving them behind, one of the production team gathered up the little foursome and contacted us to see if we could help. Arrangements were made for them to come into our care the following day and what a transformation they have had since! Brooklyn, Manhattan, Bronx and Staten have gone from four tiny, unexpected visitors to four gorgeous, confident and playful kittens who are now ready for the next chapter of their story, their forever homes! These four are very sociable youngsters and, as always, our priority will be finding them homes in pairs. Kittens do best with another young cat who can match their energy, play with them and keep them company. We will consider individual homes where there is already a young, active and social cat who would appreciate a little feline companion.They can also live with respectful children and cat savvy dogs, with careful introductions! Four little kittens who were never supposed to be part of the production have now been given their chance at a starring role of their own, a starring role in someone’s family. So while The Yank will be hitting our screens before the end of the year, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Bronx and Staten are looking for their own happily ever after much sooner! No scripts, no retakes, just a loving home, lots of fun and a lifetime of being adored! A huge thank you to the production team behind The Yank for the kindness they showed these little unexpected extras. With filming finished and everyone busy wrapping up, they could easily have walked away and left the kittens behind. Instead, they stopped to help, searched for their mum, gathered the kittens safely and made sure they got the care they needed.
Did you hear??? There’s a new boss in town and he is bigger than the last!!! Joey headed off to his forever home this week and when Fred heard there was an opening in our Galway SPCA Shop, Briarhill he decided it was time for a promotion from Office Admin to Shop Floor Security! Fred is absolutely loving his new role and all the attention that comes with it. He is completely unfazed by the hustle and bustle of the shop and seems very happy to supervise everything going on around him! While Fred is enjoying his new position, he is still looking for his forever home. At 11 years old, Fred is one of those cats who can easily be overlooked while younger cats and kittens are also waiting. Senior cats have so much love to give and Fred certainly has plenty of affection to share. So while he waits for someone to see just how special he is, we’re making sure Fred gets all the attention, fuss and affection he could possibly want. And, of course, he’ll be keeping a very close eye on the shop in the meantime because, apparently, that’s what the new boss does!

Ada, our senior lady, came into our care with her final baby. Sadly, he was too sick and passed away shortly after arrival. She is now spayed and has completed her vet work. Ada is in her senior years, she is at least 14, and we are hoping to find her a calm and loving home to retire to. Ada can live with other cats, once they allow her space and she has lived with an energetic dog and knows how to avoid and, also, reprimand, if needed! Ada is a sweetheart who just wants a peaceful life and occasional cuddles. If you can offer our senior lady her forever home please complete an adoption application form.
Beignet, Shortcake, Eclair and Macaroon have spent the last two months in the most wonderful foster home and what a difference those two months has made! When Beignet first arrived she was an incredibly frightened little girl. She hid for long periods, wouldn't interact with her foster family and initially wouldn't even play with her siblings. Slowly, with patience and reassurance, she began to trust. Her first tiny purr after a week and a half was a very special moment and now she comes over for attention, plays, explores and purrs away happily. She is still a sensitive little soul who needs time, patience and people who will respect her boundaries. She is easily frightened by loud noises and sudden movements and wouldn't be suited to a busy home, young children or dogs. But Beignet has found her confidence in Shortcake! Shortcake is her complete opposite in many ways. From a very young age, like when her eyes first opened Shortcake has had an look that says it all. This confident, clever, independent lady, very much the little queen, knows exactly what she wants! She loves affection, on her terms, enjoys a cuddle when she's sleepy and has a wonderful relationship with all her siblings. But its Beignet she seems to understand particularly well, and her confidence helps Beignet feel safe. We would love Beignet and Shortcake to find their forever home together! What makes these four so special isn't just their individual personalities it is the relationships they've built along the way and that brings us to their incredible foster family. We cannot thank their foster family enough for everything they have done for these kittens! They haven't simply cared for four kittens for two months. They have taken the time to understand them, earn their trust, recognise their individual needs and, most importantly, give them the security to become confident little personalities. For Beignet especially, that patience has changed everything. There is nothing quite like watching a frightened kitten slowly learn that people can be trusted and knowing that her foster family gave her the time she needed to discover that. Now it's time for this pair to find their forever family. Beignet & Shortcake, a sensitive little soul and her confident companion.
