We are a small volunteer run local charity with the main aim of reducing the numbers of unwanted cats and kittens by the tried and tested method of trap/neuter/return. Cats are trapped humanely, taken to the vet, neutered, and after a period of recuperation released back into their home territory.
Colonies of cats whether in back gardens, farms, building sites, or industrial areas, can breed so rapidly that even rabbits blink. Our aim is to stop this proliferation of unwanted kittens who live short and miserable lives and whose mothers breed and breed until they are worn out and wretched.
A pair of breeding cats can, in their lifetimes, produce 20,000 offspring.
In a radio interview after the 2014 Dublin International Cat Show, a spokesman said “there are about 150,000 cats in Ireland – Irish people prefer dogs, and can even bring in large dogs from the country” or words to that effect. In fact, although he may have been talking about PEDIGREE or SHOW cats, if he multiplied the 150,000 by 10, he would still have been short of the mark as regards the cat population. Cats HIDE. There can be 50 cats in your area, and you may only see 8/9.. Cats breed at a phenomenal rate. If you feed a feral or stray cat, please contact your local TNR group to help. Otherwise there may be 6/8 kittens shortly, and in 5 months you can multiply that by another 4/5.
If you feed that cat, PLEASE NEUTER IT.
Thank you very much.
