    Hi All,

    I hate to be asking this but i need to find a home for my 1yr old tabby cat.
    He is very lovable and always wants cuddles and attention he is also good with children.

    We have recently had a baby and he is not taken to kindly to someone new on his patch, we have tried everything and this is my last resort.

    We are willing to travel to give him a good home.

    Thank you

    good on yer for looking for a good home - can't take him myself, but would think folks would need to know if he's up to date on vaccinations and is he neutered?

    if you get stuck try www.irishanimals.ie - but sure someone here will have better contacts in the cat world

    Any pics?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 303 ✭✭brian_rbk


    He is fully up to date on his vaccinations he is due a check up so i will gladly get that done before he goes to his new home. i will post some pictures soon.

    Thanks

    I have a litter of mice that are coming up to six weeks old. I'm selling most of them but there are two males who are a little runty and I couldn't in good conscience charge money for them.

    They are both happy little guys with no obvious defects or problems other than the fact that they are quite small for their age. They can only go as a pair and get along great.

    Free to a good home (as pets: people who would use them as live feed need not respond).

    Hi everyone,
    I have 3 rabbits looking for new homes, they were the result of an accidental litter. There is one female and two males. Obviously, I want them to go to the best homes possible, they are mixed breeds and breeders need not apply. Males are hitting maturity now and arguing so I think everybun should go to separate homes. They are about 5 months old. Quite friendly.I'd prefer if only over 18s apply. Rabbits do not make good kids pets because they are not cuddly and awkard for small children to handle. Little kids get bored of them quickly, so if you have young children in your home, please only apply if you are going to be the main caretaker for the rabbit.

    Unlike popular belief, rabbits are expensive pets to care for, they need large accomadation and if you are going to keep them inside, they need to be spayed/neuteured or else they get very smelly (spraying). They should not be kept in a hutch in the bottom of your garden. If you want one of my rabbits I need to know that if they are kept outside they get a huge hutch and run and still lot's of attention and cuddles. Same if they are inside.

    Check out my site for more care information

    www.irishrabbitcare.webs.com

    All the rabbits are brown like the brown female in this picture

    Hi,

    My mother passed away suddenly a month ago, and amongst other things, we are facing the situation of what to do with her beloved cat who resides in her home. Neither I nor other family members are in a position to take the cat in for a multitude of reasons. The GSPCA shelter is overloaded and cannot take him.

    The cat is elderly (about 15 years old) and perhaps somewhat set in his ways; this makes the problem more acute.

    At present the cat is being cared for by neighbours. However I don't believe that their goodwill will last too much longer and we need a more permanent home.

    We would be willing to assist with covering the cost of healthcare and feed if that is what it takes.

    Thanks.

    I'm looking for a young female guinea pig if anyone has one? Or could anyone point me in the direction of a shelter that might have one, in the Maynooth area? I don't have a car so it would have to be somewhere I could get a bus/train/walk to.

    Also, if anybody has a large guinea pig cage I could buy second hand I'd be really interested. Store bought ones are quite expensive.

    Thanks :)

    Hi,

    Unfortunately we are no longer able to give our dogs the attention and exercise that they need - my husband and I are now both working full-time - and so the dogs are left for too long during the day.

    The dogs, (males - brothers - approx 6months old) are both house trained (a few little accidents with being left while we're at work which is understandable) they are loving, but defintely need more time on training and obidience. The are both IKC registered and have papers.

    One of the dalmations is deaf but he is able to respond to hand signals. Both of them have very high energy and will require someone with lots and lots of time on their hands and a secure big garden! Lots of walks and runs (they both enjoy the treadmill aswell).

    We are based in Co.Cork - and because we really need these two guys to go to good homes (either seperately or together), anyone that is interested will need to be homechecked. This is non-neogotiable as we are not going to let them go to bad homes. If you can't agree to this then please do not contact us.

    I am willing to answer any questions you might have - contact me via PM - and I hope someone out there can give these pups great happy homes.

    4052768925_0fb241fdd4_m.jpg

    I have someone intrested in one of theses dogs it will be a family pet and they have been homechecked can you let me know if there are still up for adoption... Cheers Anne;)

    Hi, posting here with the OK of a mod.

    7-8 week old kitten urgently looking for a home. I don't have a pic. She is tabby and a little fat bundle. I have to get her out today or she will be put to sleep. She's on borrowed time.

    If you are interested, I can hold onto her for a few days if necessary.

    Please PM me asap if you think you might be able to provide a good home.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,412 ✭✭✭toadfly


    Helena where are you based?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,772 ✭✭✭✭Whispered

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,772 ✭✭✭✭Whispered

    Hi Helena

    I might be able to help, I have a friend looking for a house kitten. She's give it a great home. Have you got a pic I could send her?

    thanks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,772 ✭✭✭✭Whispered


    I don't have a pic as she is in the vets but she is very similar to the kittens is have posted in the agency thread. I'll try find and send it to you. Gimme 2 mins.

    EDIT: If you look at the agency rehoming page, the last page has a post from Starpants with a tabby kitten. She looks like that afaik. If I had more time I could get a pic of her, but I'm really down to the last hope for her. If you think your friend would be interested, please let me know asap as I'm already worried it might be too late for the little girl. :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 89 ✭✭theonlygirl


    Hi Helena,

    She'd like to take her! She's based in Ashbourne, she's not here this weekend, but i'm going to try and see if I can find someone to take her till she gets home on Monday. Is the kitten vacc'd?

    Thanks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,772 ✭✭✭✭Whispered


    Sorted!! Thanks Theonlygirl and Animals & Pets Issues!

    Hi
    I found a kitten on the side of a busy road today. She was quite scared. So i brought her to the vet's and got her checked out and wormed and flea'd.

    She is a lovely long haired black and white kitten

    If you would have a warm and loving home on offer please send me a pm.

    I would keep her myself but have a zoo in the house as it is. One more would be too much.
    hey just wondering wer you are located as i'm in cork but am unable to travel far.

    Home available for 1-2 small-medium sized dogs, am looking for something pretty cute for my girlfriend and possibly another dog to keep it company. Wouldn't like to take a puppy on its own though. We have no kids and a big back garden which is fenced. Live out in the country too so the dog(s) would get plenty of exercise and fresh air. Am well used to keeping dogs from when I lived at my family home and would know how to look after them properly!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,742 ✭✭✭Branoic


    Really sorry for the long post, but I have to make this appeal. This is Megan, an 11 / 12 month old Bernese Mountain Dog / Husky cross, and we are in the terrible and heartbreaking position of having to give her up.

    IMG_0181.JPGIMG_0184.JPG

    IMG_0183.JPGP9190206.JPG

    We rescued Megan about 4 months ago, as we were looking for a companion to our year old GSD and it was impossible not to instantly fall in love with her.

    She's an absolutely adorable dog - extremely fond of her cuddles and attention. Every morning she's be waiting at the bottom of stairs for us to come down, and would fling herself onto her back with her four legs sticking up waiting for a morning belly rub. She'd follow you constantly from room to room whatever you were doing, her head practically glued to the side of your leg for a pet. And she loved nothing more than to clamber on top of you when you sat on the couch and lay down to fall into a deep sleep. :)

    I remember as well doing some "sit, stay, come" training with her. She's such a lazy bear that getting her to sit and stay was easy - when I tried to get her to get back off her bottom to come to me, instead she stayed sitting and dragged herself along the floor with her two front paws. :D

    Unfortunately, her relationship with our GSD was not good, and it was very clearly a bad match. This is now the reason we have to give her up. We've tried desperately to work with them both over the past few months but to no avail. There have been a number of serious fights and the tension in the house had become terrible. A fight on Saturday night was the breaking point and we've made the incredibly difficult decision that finding another home for Megan will be in the best interests of both dogs. :(

    I really don't want to put people off Megan with the above paragraph, so I just want to stress again that she is an amazing, gorgeous, bundle of love who just really didn't get on with our other dog. Out and about on the beach or park she loves playing with other dogs, and practically rolls over with every human she meets.

    The rescue we were returning her to has found it difficult on short notice to find a foster home for her, and have also said it's very difficult at the moment to find any homes for any of their dogs, so I have had to arrange with them to put her in a boarding kennels temporarily. I brought her to the kennels yesterday and am urgently appealing for someone to consider adopting her or even fostering her. She is such a cuddly princess (very used to a soft couch!!) that the thought of her spending any lenght of time in a kennels is heartbreaking. There have been more than a few tears shed by both my wife and I since Saturday night, and even writing this is incredibly difficult.

    Megan would be an absolute wonder pet in a home where she was the only dog, or possibly with a male of a different age, though we think as an only dog where she could be spoiled rotten would be best. She is extremely affectionate and ideally someone should be with her for a good percentage of the day. She is microchipped, vacinated and spayed. We are based in Arklow, Co. Wicklow but Megan is now currently in a kennel near Navan, Co. Meath.

    If anyone is interested in Megan, please PM me and I will give you the contact details of the rescue she is with. We are not just giving her away - she's already been brought back to the rescue so you would need to go through the normal adoption / vetting / home check procedure with them.

    Thank you very much.

    oh my god that is such a hard thing for you to do, i can only imagine how hard it must be to have to give her up,,i hope she will find a home soon...best of luck with it,,,.:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,790 ✭✭✭cornbb


    My housemate rescued a cat that seems to have been abandoned. We've tried to find owners but without luck and we can't keep taking care of her ourselves so we'd like to find a good home for her.

    She's about 7 months old, white/grey/ginger, she has been well looked after by us and has been to the vet for a check-up.

    If anyone would like to offer her a good home, or on the off-chance that anyone might know who is missing this cat in the Rochestown area of Cork, please get in touch via PM!

    Hiya,

    Me and my boyfriend got two kittens at 6 weeks old, twin brothers, because their mum abandoned them. We only wanted one kitten but we took the two brothers because we did not want to seperate them at such a young age.
    They're now 11 weeks old and we would now like to give one kitten away because we only wanted one kitten in the first place as we dont have enough room for two of them.
    The one that we are giving away is called "Foxy" because he looks like a fox!:)

    Please see picture of "Foxy" attached. We are located in Sligo town but can travel half way...

    Please give this kitten a lovely home, we adore him but unfortunately we just dont have the room for two kittens!:(

    Just thought I would update and let people know there is one male left. I adore this little guy and would love to keep him myself, but I would prefer him to go to a home where he will get lot's of attention. I would really prefer if he went to an indoor home, to someone who is willing to neuteur him and possibly get him a lady friend. No males because he is a little wimp :P

    He'll be ready the first week after January.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 249 ✭✭E30i


    We have 3 puppies that are looking for a suitable home. 1 male and 2 female. Mother is a Pure Springer Spaniel and Father is a Pure Pointer. Both parents are trained gundogs and have excellent temperaments, including and especially around children.
    Pups are currently only 2 weeks old so would not be ready to leave the mother until about end Jan, They are a lovely chocolate brown colour. They would make ideal family pets and/or would train very well for hunting (based on the breeding). If you are interested or would like more info or to view (without any obligation), just outside Enniscorthy, please e-mail I'll help in any way I can. The puppies will be well looked after and wormed etc until they are ready to leave their mother

    If anyone wants pictures please PM me and I will oblige. I'd stress these puppies wont be ready to leave their mother until end January so aren't for Christmas as such. Tks for reading

    Heya all, these gorgeous boys are still looking for new homes (now coming up to 8months old).

    It breaks our hearts but the longer that both my husband and I are working full-time the more unsettled these two are becoming - which is completely understandable due to our extremely long working hours (+ commuting time!) and not fair for them :(

    If anyone can offer them (seperately or together) 'forever homes' please contact me via PM (as I don't often check threads). :)

    Hi all,
    Recently a stray dog came into our lives. We were going to keep her but our other dog is extremely put out by her and is not eating and just not himself since she came here.

    She is still a puppy (we estimate around 7 months old) and is a Jack Russell X (we think there may be some Chihuahua in her). She's very lovable and outgoing. Great with kids as we have a 1 year old and they get along great.

    We have named her Buffy. She really needs a loving home guys.

    It is with the utmost sadness that I post this request in the hope that I can find a Dalmatian lover willing to provide my dog with the life that he deserves.

    I moved to Dublin(Sandyford) from the UK in July for a new job and unfortunately my working hours have dictated that I've been unable to get the poor guy the exercise that he needs on a consistent basis. We were supposed to come as a family but the ex decided to stay with the kids and I ended up coming myself with my dog.

    I've been lying to myself the last few months that I'd be able to find the time for him to get those big walks he really does need, but the more I left it, the more I realised that it isn't and won't be possible.

    This is breaking my heart but I know he deserves to be with someone who doesn't work the crazy hours that I do.

    If anyone out there would like to meet him with the intention of giving him a better life, please let me know.

    Here he is.
