Rescue animals for adoption

Dutch

from£185adoption fee

Meet our handsome boy Dutch! Dutch is a lovely German Shepherd, estimated to be around 3 years old, who came into our care as an injured stray in February. After a thorough veterinary examination, Dutch was diagnosed with cruciate ligament damage in his right knee and has since underwent corrective surgery. Since then, Dutch has made great progress with his recovery. He has settled in well to kennel life and continues to build up his strength and fitness each day with the support of our animal care team. Dutch is an incredibly friendly and affectionate boy who absolutely loves people. He has become a firm favourite with our team, enjoying nothing more than saying hello to staff and volunteers and meeting people when he is out on his walks! Dutch is still gradually building up his exercise levels and thoroughly enjoys getting out for his walks. He loves to sniff and explore his surroundings and take in all the interesting sights and smells. He also enjoys enrichment activities, with frozen kongs and food-based puzzles being his favourite! Dutch would be best suited to a home with owners who have experience of German Shepherds or similar breeds, where his new family will understand his ongoing needs following surgery. This will include ongoing joint supplements and possible pain relief to help keep him comfortable. While he is recovering very well, it will be important that his exercise continues to be managed appropriately and that he is not overexerted. Dutch could live with sensible older teenagers who are confident around large dogs. He is not suitable to live with cats. He would prefer to be the only dog in the home.

Mustang

from£90adoption fee

Mustang was surrendered into our care back in January as her owner could no longer continue care for her. When she arrived at our centre she weighed 7.5kg and immediately began her weight loss journey. This was a slow process, but this beautiful kitty has made fantastic progress, now weighing nearly 5kg. Mustang's new family will need to continue managing her weight to help her reach a healthy target. Mustang has spent time in foster care, where she has adapted well to a home environment. She enjoys affection and will happily curl up on your lap, but prefers attention on her own terms and often forms a close bond with one person. She is an active, playful cat who loves teaser toys and is highly food motivated. She enjoys enrichment activities and already knows her name, "sit," and "reach." She currently uses a slow-feeder ball to encourage movement and make mealtimes more engaging. Mustang can become overstimulated, so play and enrichment should be offered in shorter sessions throughout the day. This may improve once she has access to the outdoors after settling into her new home. Mustang is looking for a home where she can be the only pet , as she does not get along with other cats or dogs. She would suit an adult-only home, although she could potentially live with cat-savvy teenagers aged 16 years and older who are sensible around cats.

Serendipity

£95adoption fee

This lovely crew came into our care from a multicat colony situation which we were assisting with neutering, and they were unfortunately very unwell with kitten flu. They are now back to full health, and have grown in our care into fabulous kittens! They are within the care of our North Antrim and Glens volunteer team, but we deliver our adopted cats anywhere in Northern Ireland so feel free to apply from anywhere in the country conveniently. Looking for ridiculous affection, unshakable confidence, tiny but mighty zooms... and just a dash of cluelessness? Then look no further than Serendipity! More commonly referred to as Dippy (her normal state), Chicken Dipper (when playful) or Dicken Chipper (saved for when she's at her absolute silliest!) - this girl is full of beans, life and love. Dippy is FIV+, passed onto her from her mother. This is a condition which effects the immune system, but with indoor only living and proper care FIV positive cats can go on to live long, healthy lives! Due to this, she will require an indoor only home, and can only be adopted into a household with other FIV+ cats. Her brother, Danny Phantom, also is FIV+. She immediately decided after being rescued and feeling better, that everyone and everything in life was there to love her! Dippy has the ultimate positive outlook on life - she adores all toys, playing in water, and zooming like there's no tomorrow. She adores affection, and will demand to be lifted for a cuddle or a baby cradle. She follows people around asking for love! She's such a sweetheart, with lots of energy and an adorably chirpy meow. Dippy would be great with children of any age, and loves all animals - she'd love a friend, however due to her FIV+ status other cats in the home must also be FIV+. She is very confident and forward, so any other animals should be very cat friendly as this little lady will go in for a snooze without hesitation!

Ralphie

£95adoption fee

Meet Ralphie! He is in the care of our North Antrim and Glens volunteer team, but we deliver our adopted cats anywhere in Northern Ireland. Ralphie is a gorgeous boy - he entered our care alongside his sister and cousins as young kittens, during our neutering efforts on a cat colony. Ralphie is the confident, curious, cool dude! He loves being in the middle of the action, exploring his surroundings and keeping you company with his fun, easy-going personality. Ralphie adores other cats, and has been used to his sister's company (as you can see he loves grooming friends!), so we are seeking a home with another cat friend for him to have fun with! He would do well indoor only, or could have safe low traffic outdoor access in future once older and settled.

Luna

£75adoption fee

Luna is with our Downpatrick Team She is a delightful cat, who loves plenty of fuss. She can be a little un-sure but given a few quiet days Luna comes out of her shell. She has a deep set ear haematoma which is too deep to operate on. This is giving her no issues at the minute but may need ear drops on a occasion.

Buttons

£75adoption fee

Buttons is within the care of our North Antrim and Glens volunteers, but we deliver our adopted cats home anywhere in NI! Buttons is an affectionate older lady who is ready to settle down and enjoy her elder years. Exceptionally loving, Buttons adores attention and affection! She'll meow, purr, and even gently/politely tap you with her paw for pets if you don't provide them in a timely manner! And she'll never be far away when there's a nice lap available to curl up on. Being a larger lady, her mobility wasn't initially the best due to her size/arthritis - but she's come on leaps and bounds! She still likes her ramp to aid her getting up to bed, but she has now lost an impressive 10% of her body weight since coming into our care and she can now... actually jump! She receives a daily dose of inexpensive medication in her food for arthritis, and has become a lot more active. She's been working hard on her weight loss program, and she will need to continue on her diet in her new home as she's made great progress but still has a bit more progress to make. Buttons is a chill girl who likes to spend her days sleeping and getting cuddles! She likes to play occasionally, especially with anything catnip! And toddles along after you, as she loves to be in company. Her fosterers have described her as having a very 'comforting aura', and would be great company for someone looking for a lower maintenance love, to just enjoy each others time and affection. Her ideal home would be one where she can live a quiet life as the only pet in the household (she wants it all to herself! She's not a fan of other animals). She requires some help grooming areas that she can't reach on her own until she loses some more weight, but she absolutely loves getting brushed and her current weight loss has already really helped. She is indoor only for her safety due to reduced mobility, but could toddle about a truly secure garden - she hasn't shown much interest for the outside since coming into our care, she's more interested in loving her people. Buttons is very child experienced having had kids grow up around her, she is patient and very gentle - so children in the home or visiting the home are welcome!

Jimmy Neutron and Danny Phantom

£95adoption fee

This lovely crew came into our care from a multicat colony situation which we were assisting with neutering, and they were unfortunately very unwell with kitten flu. They are now back to full health, and have grown in our care into fabulous kittens! They are within the care of our North Antrim and Glens volunteer team, but we deliver our adopted cats anywhere in Northern Ireland so feel free to apply from anywhere in the country conveniently. Jimmy & Danny were previously up for adoption seperately, but since siblings have been adopted and their little crew got smaller, Jimmy & Danny have become extremely close and bonded! They are such cute, friendly little boys who have become confident and playful. They rub together like something out of a Disney movie now, and like to chiro to each other as they play! They've become really affectionate. Jimmy & Danny need to be indoor only, for Danny's safety as he is FIV+. They'd be suitable with cat wise children. FIV is a lifelong virus which can effect a cats immune system, but with indoor only living and proper love and care FIV cats now live long, normal lives! Danny is a healthy kitten having overcome his kitten flu, and has no other known health problems. Enquire about Jimmy & Danny via the link below to submit an adoption application form!

Bonky and Toots

£75adoption fee

Bonky & Toots were adopted from ourselves a few months ago, but due to an unfortunate unexpected change in their family's circumstances (no fault of their own) they are seeking a new loving home. Bonky & Toots are fabulous, their previous fosterer remembers them so fondly. They still know and come to their names! They have grown into beautiful young cats, and are as sweet as they always were. Bonky & Toots are hilarious little creatures - full of love and fun! They are very affectionate little cats, and love attention. They have grown into confident cats - Toots still has her happy little kneady feet (her namesake!). Bonky has a benign, non-health related respiratory noise - she still sounds like a little piggy but it doesn't stop her! And plays in her water bowl! They are always purring, and are low maintenance little joys. They just love to be involved and part of the family! Bonky and Toots are seeking an indoor only home, as this is what they have been used to. They'd be great with children, and absolutely adore other animals - they really really love the dog and other cat they have lived with! So we'd actually really like to find them a home with another animal/s, as this is what they know and love - they are such affectionate creatures that thrive with family (human and animal). Both girls are neutered, vaccinated, fully healthy checked, microchipped, their mother was FIV/FeLV negative and they come with 4 weeks free insurance. We also deliver our adopted kittens home as part of our adoption process, so feel free to apply from anywhere in Northern Ireland!

Miss Alice

£10–£50adoption fee

Miss Alice is a sweet, inquisitive girl who was brought into our care after he was found by a kind member of the public abandoned. This pretty girl has a lovely gentle nature which is hard not to love. She is playful and sociable with a big personality and lots of charm. She loves being involved in everything around her and is very people-oriented, always keen to investigate new faces and making new friends! After satisfying his curiosity, she loves curling up in her cosy bed for a peaceful snooze. Miss Alice would be best suited with a family who have experience caring for a ferret and will be able to provide her with a spacious set up, so she has room to exercise and toys to keep her entertained. Ferrets are very active and curious, so her new family will need to be able to provide her with plenty of playtime and stimulation.

Finch

Chandler

€275adoption fee

Chandler is a 2-year-old Spaniel X. This lovely boy is energetic, busy and always ready for his next adventure. Chandler absolutely loves his people and once he has built a bond with you, he really enjoys being the centre of attention. He forms strong attachments, so his new family will need to give him time, patience and understanding while he settles in and learns to trust and bond with them. Out and about, Chandler loves his walks and is happiest with plenty of opportunities to sniff, explore and investigate everything the world has to offer. He also enjoys saying hello to his doggy pals when hes out and about, but when it comes to home life, Chandler would like to be the only dog in the household, so he can have all the attention to himself. Chandler could live with children aged 12 who are confident and comfortable around a lively dog and who understand when to give him his own space. His new home will need a secure garden with high walls as Chandler can jump very high and were pretty sure there might be a little bit of cat hiding somewhere in his family tree!

Clement

€275adoption fee

Clement is a 3-year-old Labrador X. This handsome, friendly boy is happiest when hes busy, and his absolute favourite thing in the world is playing fetch. Hes very good at his drops and swaps, making games with him lots of fun. Clement is social with other dogs and enjoys their company, but hed prefer to be the only dog in his new home. Hed love to continue having regular opportunities to meet up with suitable doggy friends on walks and adventures, helping him keep up his social skills while enjoying some one-on-one time with his family. Clement could potentially live with older children aged 14 , provided they are confident and comfortable around larger, bouncy dogs. Hes an energetic boy who can be quite enthusiastic, so a family who understands and enjoys an active dog would be ideal. His new home will need a fully enclosed garden with high walls or secure fencing. Above all, Clement is looking for an active family who will enjoy keeping his body and mind busy. He would thrive with people who are interested in training, enrichment and learning new things together.

Otto

Quiet but oh so charming! Otto is a friendly boy with a gentle and loving heart! He loves attention but he also loves having some quite time to himself to chill. He’s very undemanding and is lovely to have in the house! He is great with other dogs big and small as long as they have similar personalities to him. He can find very energetic and excitable dogs a little bit full on. For the same reason, he would prefer not to live with very young children. Otto is looking for a calm and loving home to call his own! He would fit in really well to a couple or a family with teenagers who can give him attention whenever he wants but also know when to leave him be. He would absolutely love a big garden to lie and sunbathe in! Otto is living at one of our Visitor Centres and so is reserved for adoption in Ireland Only!
