Tipperary Small Pet Rescue Center

http://homepage.eircom.net/~spr124/

The girl who runs this has a heart of gold and takes in and takes great care of alot of animals. She has rabbits, guinea pigs and gerbils that all need good homes. She also needs any spare pet accessories you might have. We dropped a guinea pig cage out to her the other day and she really does have her hands full.

Pets Ireland is a great site if your looking to adopt a new pet or need to rehome one. Also they have lost and found sections and lists of pound dogs.

Check out peata.org the organisation for pets and people

We visit hospitals hospices and homes with your pets. I am very luck to visit a day care centre for adults with my poodles where we have great fun playing ball with clients and staff

If you have a friendly loving pet and think you can spare the time to share them on a weekly visit, contact peata and get assessed. I have got a lot out of my visiting and the dogs love it too.

I have devoted this sticky purely to Dog & Cat information as more people in Ireland have pet dogs and / or cats than any other animal.
Feel free to post links here to any information or health related sites you have found usefull or helpfull.

Please do not post links to sites that are simply "dog sites" or "cat sites" here, try to be specific to the "Health information & Resources" title.

Please note: On any site listed below, please take all advise with "a pinch of salt".

Medical treatment should never be given to ANY animal by anyone other than a vet.

Neither Boards.ie nor its members take responsibility for any innacurate information in the links below.

Any animal that is exhibiting signs of illness or behavioural issues should be taken to a Vet as soon as possible.

======================================================================
The best Irish Cat site in my opinion, put together by real cat lovers, the entire site is amazingly informative.

Cat health & Care / treatment information.

Kittern Adoption Website (main Page)

Their NEW forum boards!

======================================================================

Another Cat information & behaviour link,...

Cat Behaviour
*NB: I cannot fully vouch for this one yet as I am still reading it.
======================================================================

Dog behaviour info link........

Dog Behaviour and Information
*NB: Again I cannot fully vouch for this one yet as I am still reading it.

Taken from www.kittenadoption.ie website:

Some facts from Jan.
300,000 kittens will be born in Ireland this year.

Two fifths will die within the first week of life.

A Third more will die before 4 months of age.

That is 180,000 kittens dying within 4 months of birth in Ireland this year alone.

Kittens are also being born to the estimated 23% of **pet** domestic cats that that are not spayed/neutered.

There are no wild cats native to Ireland therefore every kitten born and cat alive is descended from some body's un-neutered pet cat.

There are an estimated 700,000 former domestic (feral) cats in Ireland with over 200,000 in the Dublin area. This is using the tried and tested American system of calculation. Take the number of households in an area and multiply by 0.5 to give the number of cats.

One unspayed cat and her offspring can create 11.6 million other cats within 9 years.

An un altered cat (ex domestic stray) Has an average life span of 2 years. So these animals are born to die.

Is there a reason other animals aren't mentioned, you would be suprised how many households have other animals as well as cats or dogs, it's just that they don't tend to mention them as much. There is a lot of information about cats and dog care (and having more on this site is brilliant of course) but there is far less helpful information for small animals, birds and fish.

Have to agree about the KA site, it's choc full of helpful info.

FranknFurter, if it would be useful I can write up care sheets for chinchillas/mice/various other small animals. As Guineapigrescue has mentioned, these pets are not as common as cats and dogs, but the information could still be of use to somebody

Guineapigrescue I'm sure could also assist on the rodent side

Hi all,
I am planning to get a cat. But I dont want to go to people's house to pickup a cat...

Does Anyone know, of a place in Dublin where homeless young cats are kept so that I can go and Pick one? Or Do I just have to take what ever is given to me or choose from the pictures displayed online?

If you know of anywhere please PM me if Possible.

Many Thanks
Mona
