Every day, the calls keep coming. Every day, more cats need us. But our vet bills are crushing us and soon, we may have to turn them away.
Our small, volunteer-run rescue has already helped over 600 cats this year but our funds are almost gone. Your support today could mean the difference between life and death.
Our Mission
Our goal is simple but urgent: to stop the cycle of suffering caused by uncontrolled breeding of feral cats. Through our humane Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programme, we safely trap feral cats, bring them to a vet for neutering, and return them to their home territory after recovery. This prevents thousands of unwanted kittens from being born into hardship, while improving the lives of existing colonies.
A single pair of breeding cats can produce up to 20,000 offspring over time. Without intervention, colonies grow quickly, leading to suffering for the cats and challenges for local communities.
What We Do
- Trap-Neuter-Return for feral cat colonies across Cork
- Provide veterinary care for sick and injured cats, from vaccinations to amputations
- Foster and rehome friendly strays and kittens when space allows
- Offer advice, resources, and emotional support to the public in difficult situations
We don’t have a sanctuary, so space is always limited. Every foster home is precious.
This Year So Far
In 2025 alone, we have:
- Received 340 calls for help, over 600 cats in need
- Treated, neutered & returned over 400 cats.
- Taken 143 into foster care, with 99 now in loving forever homes
- Supported our community financially, emotionally, and with advice during crises
Why We Need Your Help
Our average monthly vet bills are €11,000, and despite working tirelessly to keep costs down, our funds are nearly gone. We rarely launch appeals like this, but we must be honest without urgent support, we don’t know how much longer we can continue.
Every donation, no matter how small, goes directly to:
Veterinary bills: neutering, emergency care, surgeries, medicines
Food & litter for foster cats and kittens
Equipment and supplies for TNR
How You Can Help
Donate: Every euro makes a difference.
Share our appeal with friends, family & on social media.
Fundraise for us: Coffee mornings, sponsored walks… every bit helps.
Together, we can keep saving lives. With your help, Cork’s most vulnerable cats will have a future worth living.
