We have soooooo many ex feral p***y cats living in Littlehill now - with ad lib food and warm cosy beds 🥰 all neutered and safe now 🥰
Even with full bowls of fresh food daily, they wait for me just outside the front door to see if there are any treats going, and of course there are 🥰
📍We have a waiting list of cats and kittens to come in, but our vet bills are still soooo high ..
If you can spare a few bob to our PayPal (link in the comments) or directly to our Vets on 045844083 it will help us to help them and save more little lives .. thank you so much to everyone who supports ❤️❤️ this is Ted, Rachel, Midnight, Priscilla, Michael❤️

We have just had a very generous offer of two tickets to CMAT's sold out concert in St. Anne's Park, Raheny, on May 30th! We are so delighted with this, as our vet bill just came into our inbox at the same time - it's now at just under €10,000!

So, we are going to raffle the tickets to try and raise some funds to try and reduce the bill somewhat. Here is the link to the raffle.

JUNE HEN RESCUE!

Thanks to everyone who offered forever coops to the poor little hens last weekend. Some were in shocking condition, which clearly illustrates the reality of intensive farming. Thank you for doing your best to make them comfortable and happy.

Our June rescue takes place on Saturday 13th June. These hens are from a different farm, and will, hopefully, be in better condition. There is a limited number of hens available, and more than half have already been booked, so don't delay in booking yours. As of now, we don't have any more rescues lined up over the summer, but will post if any more hens become available.

To book hens, please PRIVATE MESSAGE with your PHONE NUMBER, COLLECTION POINT and NUMBER OF HENS. ADOPTION FEE APPLIES.

SATURDAY 13th JUNE ::
EDENDERRY - KINNEGAD - MOATE - MULLINGAR - PORTARLINGTON - TULLAMORE - RATHANGAN - MONASTEREVIN - CLANE - DUNSHAUGHLIN - MAYNOOTH - NAAS - NAVAN - TRIM
