    Bagpuss

    €80adoption fee

    DSH · 2 years 4 months · Male · Large

    Co. Mayo, Ireland

    This beautiful boy is Bagpuss. He has a sad story and needs a very special place and human(s) Bagpuss lived for many years being fed by residents in a community but very unfortunately, no one got him neutered. Bagpuss was subject to numerous fights as a result and came to us with a badly injured leg and sadly he also has Feline Aids. It is so important to neuter any cat in your care, whether your pet or a stray/feral you are feeding. It literally saves their lives. Thankfully Bagpuss is well and currently not in need of any medical intervention. He would make a gorgeous companion. He would need to live strictly indoors as an only cat but would love to sit and relax and enjoy the company of someone special❤️ Please email your details to info@mayospca.ie ♥️ 🐾

    Sammy

    €150adoption fee

    Dog · Male

    Co. Mayo, Ireland

    Sammy or Sam is the smallest Tricolour Chihuahua the shelter has ever seen! He is the sweetest little boy and just wants to be your best friend. His fosterer had this to say: “He loves going for walks and is very good on the lead. He loves being warm and has been sleeping in the bed tucked at the back of my knees. He gets the zoomies when he knows your getting ready for bed and is super excited when he firsts gets in but settles under the covers very quickly! He is good with children. He would definitely prefer to be the only pet. He likes to sit on your shoulders if your knees are not free. Not a huge fan of being left alone so would suit someone home a lot of the day.” Sam is just over six years old, vaccinated, neutered and hopes that if you want to be his sidekick, you will email your details to info@mayospca.ie

    Holly

    €245adoption fee

    Husky · 10 years · Female · Medium

    Co. Wicklow, Ireland

    Happy, friendly and full of character, Holly is looking for a loving home to enjoy her golden years. Holly is a 10-year-old Husky who was rescued by our NSPCA inspectors. When she was found, she was extremely emaciated and had been tied to a chain with no shelter. Despite her difficult past, Holly is a lovely girl who still has plenty of life and love to give. She loves being outdoors, going for walks and having the freedom to explore after spending so long on a chain. She is super good on the lead and enjoys a good sniff around the garden. Although she still has plenty of energy, she is calmer than you might expect from a Husky and is always happy to enjoy some time relaxing afterwards. Holly would prefer to be the only dog in her new home, where she can enjoy plenty of company, regular walks and a comfortable spot to snooze. After everything she has been through, she deserves to feel safe, loved and part of a family.

    Luna

    €245adoption fee

    Black Mouth Cur · 15 months · Female · Medium

    Co. Longford, Ireland

    Luna is a beautiful 15-month-old girl with the gentlest soul and so much love to give. Originally rescued from Spain and brought to Ireland, Luna is now looking for a new home through no fault of her own. She has so much affection to share and is happiest when she’s close to her people, soaking up every cuddle, belly rub, and bit of attention she can get. One of the loveliest things about Luna is watching her discover the joys of being a dog. She’s only recently started learning how to play, and it’s been wonderful to see her confidence blossom. She absolutely loves chasing a ball—although she’s still working on the “bring it back and let go” part! For now, she’s much happier proudly carrying her prize around for everyone to admire. Luna is incredibly friendly and sociable. She loves meeting new people, is great with people of all ages, and is always excited to say hello to every dog she passes. Her warm, loving nature makes her a joy to be around. As Luna is not currently based at our shelter, any meet and greets will need to be arranged in advance. If you’re looking for a young dog with a heart of gold, a playful spirit, and endless affection to give, Luna could be the perfect addition to your family.

  • Toffee – Photo 1 of 4

    Toffee

    €135adoption fee

    Domestic Medium Haired · 1-2 Years · Female · Small

    Co. Longford, Ireland

    Toffee is a gorgeous fluffy calico girl, probably just over a year old, and she is absolutely full of life, personality and divilment! This girl is very active and definitely likes to keep her humans on their toes. She has a particular talent for attacking houseplants and knocking anything she can find off shelves and ledges — so a Toffee-proof home is definitely recommended! Toffee would need to be the only cat in the home, but she can live with dogs. She would be best suited to a home without young children, where her big personality and playful antics can be appreciated. We think Toffee would be happiest as an indoor-only cat, where she can safely spend her days playing, exploring, getting into mischief and keeping everyone entertained. She may be a little bit of a handful, but she’s also absolutely gorgeous and has bags of personality. If you’re looking for a beautiful, active, quirky companion who will never leave you wondering what she’s up to next, Toffee is your girl! Reserved

  • Minnie – Photo 1 of 1

    Minnie

    €200adoption fee

    Dog · 8 years · Female

    Co. Cork, Ireland

    Minnie is an 8 year old JRT. She is the dinkiest, sweetest little girl, but she is timid and will need a calm, loving and encouraging home. Minnie has never learned how to walk on the lead. Future owners will need to put time into this aspect of her training. A secure, ample garden for Minnie would be an asset. A quieter home would also help her as she lacks confidence around people – tending to hit the floor when approached. She ADORES cuddles and affection though so will be a lovely lap-pet! Minnie lived with another dog in the past, butwe would like her to have a calmer, more people-focused future. A home with another gentle, welcoming dog will certainly be considered, or a home where she would be the only dog is also ideal. Minnie is fine with cats. If you would like to offer this sweet poppet a home, please read the Adoption Process on our website and apply for Minnie using the Adoption Questionnaire.

  • Sadie – Photo 1 of 1

    Sadie

    American Bulldog · 10 years · Female

    Co. Down, Northern Ireland

    Meet Sadie Sadie is a beautiful 10-year-old American Bulldog and, honestly, she is an absolute gem. She is a well-behaved, settled girl who has that lovely balance of being calm and content while still enjoying life. She loves her walks, enjoys getting out and about, and is always happy to be part of whatever is happening. Sadie gets on well with most other dogs and could happily share her home with a canine companion. But she would also be perfectly content as an only dog, where she can steal the limelight and be the centre of her family’s world! Cats are a definite no for Sadie, so she cannot be rehomed with cats. She has been fantastic with everyone she has met, but given that she is a slightly older girl, we feel children 8+ would be the best fit for her. Sadie is simply a lovely, happy, settled girl who deserves a wonderful home for her next chapter. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who is happy to enjoy a good walk, a bit of adventure and then settle down with her family, Sadie could be your girl.

    Ben

    Dog · Male

    Co. Down, Northern Ireland

    Meet Ben Say hello to Ben, our curious, fun-loving Beagle who is great craic! Ben was quite nervous when he first arrived and it took him a week or two to settle, but just look at him now! He has come on so much, and we are seeing more and more of his lovely personality every day. He can still have a shy side, especially with new people, but once Ben gets to know you, he loves you with all his heart. He absolutely adores other dogs and would happily share his home with canine friends. He’s a typical Beagle through and through — he loves his walks, loves having his nose to the ground sniffing out all the good stuff, and enjoys plenty of playtime. But after all that excitement, there’s nothing Ben loves more than snuggling down in his duvet at the end of the day. Ben is looking for a home with: Other dogs are welcome Children 8+ A family who will give him a little time and patience while he gets to know them Ben is such a lovely boy, and once he trusts you, you’ve got a little Beagle who will adore you right back.

    Kiki

    €140adoption fee

    Cat · 9 years · Female

    Co. Dublin, Ireland

    Looking for My Forever Retirement Home Hi, my name is Kiki! I’m a sweet 9-year-old girl who is fully vaccinated, neutered, microchipped and litter trained. I originally came to Ireland all the way from America. Through no fault of my own, I need to find a new home. The lovely girls at Cats Aid took me in and found me a wonderful home. Sadly, due to my owner’s health, I now need to find another special home where I can enjoy my retirement. I’m an older lady, and my hearing isn’t 100%, so I can be quite a vocal girl — I do love to chat! My ideal home would be – • An adult-only home • No more than 2 people • I would like to be the only pet • I must be an indoor-only cat • A catio or secure courtyard would be a dream, as I love sitting in the sunshine and watching the birds and bees. I absolutely love getting petted and I don’t mind being lifted. However, if I feel I’m being over-handled, I may sometimes give a little love nip to let you know I’ve had enough. I’m an older girl who likes things on my terms! The girls at Cattery think I’m a very sweet girl. I’m not a big eater and I enjoy wet food, so the girls spoil me with a variety of wet foods along with a small amount of dry food. All I’m looking for now is for someone to give me a quiet, safe and loving retirement home where I can relax, enjoy the sunshine and be loved for the special girl I am. Love, Kiki

  • Fable – Photo 1 of 1

    Fable

    £170adoption fee

    Staffordshire Bull Terrier · 1 year · Female

    Co. Down, Northern Ireland

    Some dogs need a little more time to find their confidence. Some need someone to believe in them. And some, like our beautiful Fable, simply need the chance to discover what kindness really feels like. Fable is a Staffie cross who has had a difficult start in life and, because of the circumstances surrounding her case, she isn’t able to be shown publicly at this time. But behind the scenes, Fable has been quietly learning that the world isn’t such a scary place. She has been living with a wonderful foster family who have been helping her experience all the things she may not have had before -gentle voices, patience, comfort, routine and, most importantly, kindness. Fable is a very timid and shy girl. She doesn’t rush up to people or immediately show you her personality. She needs time to trust, and she’ll need someone who understands that her journey will be about small steps rather than big leaps. She can be unsure around men, although she is currently living alongside a male and is gradually learning that they can be safe too. Underneath that nervousness is a girl who wants a home of her own. She wants people to call her family. She wants a quiet, safe place where she can continue learning that she is loved and that she doesn’t have to be afraid. Fable will need: • A patient, understanding family • A calm home where she can settle at her own pace • Someone willing to continue building her confidence • Plenty of love, routine and reassurance • An understanding that trust takes time Fable will need someone who is willing to take things slowly and let her confidence grow, but for the right person, watching her blossom will be incredibly special.

    Pea & Phoenix

    €100adoption fee

    Mixed Breed · 1-2 Years · Female · Small

    Co. Dublin, Ireland

    two paired pals looking for the perfect home Pea and Phoenix are two female buns who came into the shelter last year and were adopted. Sadly, through no fault of their own, their owner could no longer keep them and had to return them to us. These girls were really well looked after and they are such gentle souls, so we hope it’s not long before they’ll find their new home. Pea and Phoenix are very close and they would suit a family who will have them roaming around the house, snoozing, eating and cuddling all day long 🙂. Thank you for choosing to adopt rabbits from the NSPCA. Please make sure to do your research on how to care for a small animal before considering adopting. We recommend rabbits be kept indoors with an enclosure that’s a minimum of 140 x 60cm with plenty of indoor free roam time. Rabbits require proper housing, bedding, food, enrichment, exercise and vet visits. Small animals are not pets for young children to look after, all the family must be on board to look after and care for any new pet coming into the home. We have seen too many being abandoned so please make sure that you are in a position to look after them and provide them with everything they need. All our rabbits are microchipped, vaccinated and spayed/neutered.

    Rondo

    Lurcher · 3 years · Male · Medium

    Co. Clare, Ireland

    Rondo is an uber-handsome lurcher who's about 3 years old. This handsome lad is wonderfully relaxed, easy-going and affectionate. He loves nothing more than hanging out with his favourite people. Rondo would be an absolute dream companion for someone working from home, happily lounging beside you while you get on with your day. He’s fantastic with other dogs and quickly made friends with the doggies in his foster home. He’d be equally happy living with canine companions or as your one and only. Given his gentle, affectionate nature, Rondo is lovely with children, too. Rondo has been cat-tested and can certainly live with dog-friendly feline friends. Rondo is on the larger side for a lurcher, around the size of a smaller greyhound, and he really is one handsome, distinguished gent! A real head-turner!
