Meet Brownie & Biscuit!
Indoor home applicants only please!
Gorgeous duo up for adoption keep reading……..
Brownie (dark female Tortie) and Biscuit (male ginger) are both adult cats aged around 7 years. They were rescued from an extended tough life outside. That was very unpleasant for them as they are long hair cats and need to have a home where they can keep their fur in a good condition.
Biscuit loves to be brushed and will let you know with loud purrs. Both are still shy, but Biscuit will approach humans on the first day if they allow him time and space. He is more interested in humans and being brushed rather than playing.
Brownie is more cautious, she will stay away, but will observe. And she is the first one to start playing with toys. They also like to play with each other and will run around your house if they have the space.
They need a home with people who will give them space and who will be patient enough to build their trust, but also will try to animate them and play with them.
They are coming fully vaccinated, micro-chipped and are well used to indoor life.
Please email catsaid@gmail.com if you feel that you can offer this gorgeous duo a home based on the information above. Alternatively please ring us on 087 693 5100.
Meet Sofi!
Indoor only home applications please.
I am a small tuxedo cat aged around three. I was rescued by Cats Aid after giving birth to kittens, who quickly found their forever home. It took me longer to adapt to human company so I was placed in a foster home.
I can be nervous and hissy around people at first, but it hasn’t taken me long to grow comfortable with my foster parents and I now love to sit on their laps and sleep in bed with them at night! I am VERY sociable with other cats and I love to spend my days cuddling with my foster brothers on the cat tree. Especially Hugo as we are the best of pals.
I am neutered, chipped, and vaccinated. I would love a forever home with other cats, and with adults only or older children.
We are looking for a special indoor only home for Sofi with an owner who has experience dealing with a shy cat using patience plus giving her plenty of time to adjust.
Please email catsaid@gmail.com if you feel that you can offer Sofi a home based on the information above. Alternatively please ring us on 087 693 5100.
Meet Iggy!
Indoor Home Only Required.
Iggy is a sweet gentle lad who loves head scratches and snuggles. He will keep you company on the sofa and lie next to you when you are sick or enjoying some quiet time. He is a wee bit shy but his inner kitten comes out once he is settled and he starts shooting around his fosterers’ flat, chasing after toys and croaking away his contentment.
Iggy is FIV positive so has to be the only cat in the house or be with other social FIV cats and must be an indoor cat. The vets have estimated him to be 2 or 3 years old and he has a long and happy life ahead of him chasing feet and twitching toes under the duvet. He will make a quiet family whole with all the love he has to give. He will be best suited in a house with no children and 1 or 2 adults at most.
If you are interested in adopting this little dude please make contact with Cats Aid today as per the details below.
Please email catsaid@gmail.com if you would like to enquire about this cat. Alternatively please ring us on 087 693 5100.
Foster instead of Adopt? Please click here!
Cats Aid are always on the look-out for new fosterers. We currently have some urgent cases of older cats being surrendered through no fault of their own. If you think that this is something you would like to get involved in (even short-term using a spare bedroom) please send us an inquiry to catsaid@gmail.com and we can then have a chat with you about this very rewarding aspect of our work and what it involves.
So if you live in Dublin or the out-skirts and decide that you would like to go ahead please note that this may involve a quick home-check via Whats App. If you are renting you will need a letter from your land-lord.
The following will be the kind of questions we will ask you if you email us enquiring about fostering for Cats Aid –
- Are you a homeowner or are you currently renting?
- If you are renting can you obtain your landlords permission via email?
- Please can you confirm your contact phone number
- Please can you also confirm your eircode
- Is someone at home normally during the day?
- What other animals do you currently have?
- What experience do you have with animals in general?
- Have you any children? If yes what are their ages?
- How many people are in your household?
- Are you ok with using a crate/do you have the room for one?
- Do you drive? How would you get the cat to a vet appointment?
- Would you be able to transport cats for us between fosterers?
- Could you do short term holiday cover for us?
We currently have a super team of fosterers from all walks of life who do great work. Below are some of their very recent comments …….

Meet Apple!
Indoor-only home offers please!
Apple was found pregnant and straying at an Applegreen service station in Dublin. She was rescued by Cats Aid and placed into foster care. Apple has been in the care of Cats’ Aid for over a year. Her two kittens were rehomed, and Apple has been enjoying a comfortable foster-life since.
She is a very playful, young cat aged approximately 2 years, in excellent health, and now ready for her forever home. Apple adores playtime, so her future owners will want to be at the ready with plenty of toys and time during the day to interact with her! Apple loves head scratches and pets – particularly when eating – and is very happy in the company of her foster family. She has a gentle and relaxed disposition, and is quite comfortable with the two resident cats.
She is happy to relax on the sofa with her fosterers in the evenings after a long day of bird-watching.
Christmas was Apple’s favourite time, and she spent many happy hours snoozing and watching her foster family from underneath the Christmas tree. Running a close second is bird watching from the windows – as Apple is an indoor only cat, she spends hours watching birds in the back garden so she would be delighted if her future home offered a garden view.
Please email catsaid@gmail.com if you would like to enquire about this cat. Alternatively please ring us on 087 693 5100.
Meet Eoin!
Type of home required – Indoor-only Quiet home max 2 adults.
Eoin is a very handsome and sweet young male cat who will be 1 year old in April. Eoin is very shy at first but once he comes out of his shell he will give you lots of affection and head bumps. He loves chilling beside his humans on the sofa. Eoin loves playing fetch and playing with his cat wands, he is quite a chatty boy too. He is toilet trained and not a fussy eater.
Eoin is a bit of a scaredy cat and it took over 5 weeks for him to settle in his foster home and he will need someone experienced who will be kind and patient so he can adjust in his own time. As Eoin is quite nervous he is best suited to being an indoor cat as he scares easily and could run off. Eoin needs to be in a quiet house with max 2 adults and no young children as he is very wary of new people and his instinct is to run and hide. He is perfectly at ease with his two fosterers and loves playing and getting lots of pets and attention.
The ideal home for Eoin is one where people are home most of the day. He does like other cats but can be a bit boisterous as he is still a very playful older kitten. He has no experience with dogs.
Eoin is vaccinated, neutered and ready to go to his new home.

Meet Taylor!

Taylor and his brothers came to Cats Aid after their wild mother was spotted in a garden in Dundrum. She has since been neutered and returned to her garden where she is looked after by a collection of neighbours.
He and his brother Tyson (also available for adoption) are currently still together and are great friends. So if you’d like him to have some company, he has a built-in buddy!!!
Taylor is eight months old; he has black and white short hair and is ready to find his forever home. He is in good health and has had his initial vaccines, has been neutered, and is microchipped.
Taylor is mostly white, with just a small grey cap and tail. He enjoys rubs and affection but is also content to sit on his own and survey what’s going on. He is very inquisitive, and loves being challenged, his favorite toy is the ball track.

Meet Tyson!
Indoor-only home offers please!
Tyson and his brothers came to Cats Aid after their wild mother was spotted in a garden in Dundrum. His mammy has since been neutered and returned to her garden where she is looked after by a collection of neighbours.
Tyson may be a little cautious when settling into his new home, but once he feels comfortable his playful side will come out, he enjoys climbing and racing up and down his cat tree and the stairs. He also likes to keep an eye on his human and see what’s happening all the time. Tyson has a beautiful grey topside and white belly and when he decides you’re his person he likes nothing more than cuddles and curling up on a warm lap.
He and his brother Taylor (also available for adoption) are currently still together and are great friends. So if you’d like him to have some company, he has a built-in buddy!!!
He is an eight-month-old grey and white short hair and is ready to find his forever home. He is in good health and has had his initial vaccines, has been neutered, and is microchipped.

Meet Sugar!
Sugar is a gorgeous male kitten aged just over 10 months old. He is an independent and very playful boy. He is very curious and inquisitive and will notice anything new and explore it thoroughly. He loves to play with the smallest objects like a frozen pea or a bit of elastoplast rolled up. Toys are generally ignored after the first play!
Sugar will sit with his foster mammy on the sofa or directly behind her head on the very top of the sofa. During the day he will sit out in the enclosed balcony and watch the birds. Sugar is at his most loving when he wakes up in the morning when he comes looking for rubs to his head.
Sugar enjoys both wet and dry Purina kitten food. He absolutely loves his food, especially the wet one, he has a super appetite.
Sugar gets excited when his foster mammy has visitor’s, but he has not been exposed to other animals or small children in his short life so far so please bear this in mind if you are interested in adopting him.
Sugar’s vaccinations are up to date. He is litter trained and is very clean. We are looking for a safe indoor/outdoor home for Sugar.
We promise that he will give endless hours of enjoyment to whoever gives him his forever home.

Meet Emi!
Indoor-only home offers please!
Emi is a very sweet 8 year old neutered, female calico cat. She can be a bit timid at first but with a little patience she’ll quickly become your best friend!
Emi is very affectionate and will want to sit on or near you whenever you are home including when you are asleep – she has been known to crawl under the duvet covers to keep feet warm. She is very adaptive to her environment but enjoys quiet company and afternoon bird watching. Emi is assertive but not mean-spirited and will vocally let you know when she is ready for more attention.
While she has only a couple teeth, she loves devouring her kibble and wet food. She also enjoys running after treats that are thrown across the room. Toys with catnip? That’ll be a yes from Emi!
Emi has feline herpes and thus experiences discharge from her eyes. To prevent the spread of feline herpes to other cats, Emi must go to an indoor, single cat household.
Please email catsaid@gmail.com if you would like to enquire about this cat. Alternatively please ring us on 087 693 5100.
