Lucky’s Story!

Meet Lucky. She is a beautiful little tuxedo female cat. She came to Catsaid after her owner was no longer in a position to look after her. Lucky is eight years old and the change in her circumstances caused her some stressful times.

She has recently been placed in her foster home, where she has begun to settle in.  While she is making progress she will need time to adjust to her new circumstances, before she will be ready to be placed for permanent homing.

Please consider sponsoring Lucky, we believe that some day soon she will be ready for a forever home.

Mr Fluff’s Story!

Hi I’m Mr Fluff, a male cat aged about 14. I was found living outside and in very bad shape. I had cuts all over my head, a damaged ear, my fur was thin and patchy and I had a chronic eye condition. I was taken in by a local vet before being taken in by Cat’s Aid back in May 2021.

I did well  with my foster family. Slowly my wounds started to heal and my fur started to improve.  Unfortunately after a few weeks I started to disimprove again and was diagnosed with diabetes.  This meant that my foster family had to put me on a special diet  and insulin injections twice a day and well as taking me to the vet for regular blood tests.

I was always very good for getting my injections somehow, I think I knew that it made me feel better.

After a number of months with my insulin dose increasing I finally stabilized and then I started to improve and needed less and less insulin.

My foster mom now calls me the miracle cat as I not longer need insulin at all!

I am friendly and love hanging out with my foster family. I give everyone a rub on their ankles first thing in the morning. I still have my eye condition and one ear that bothers me. My foster mom cleans my eyes and ears every morning. I pretend I don’t like it but I really do love the attention. Being a long-haired cat I spend a lot of my time grooming myself. Sometimes I can’t reach everywhere so once again my foster mom comes to the rescue.

Please consider me if you are looking to sponsor a cat from Cats Aid.

Lots of love

Mr Fluff

Garfield’s Story!

My name is Garfield and I am all of four years old. When I came into the care of Cats Aid I had a severe skin condition which the vet thought may have been as the result of living in a stressful environment. My skin was irritated to the point where it was really uncomfortable. It felt hot and moist which resulted in constant bacterial infections. I would lick my skin to try to ease the irritation making it much worse.

I am happy to report that I am now feeling much better but it has taken two years to get it under control with the help of TLC and medication. Cats Aid pay for all my veterinary needs. My current foster parents are keeping me long term as they have fallen in love with my super personality plus we are afraid that a move may upset my health.

Please consider sponsoring me. The money will go towards my ongoing veterinary bills as I am currently living in a loving foster home.

JULY 2021 UPDATE:

Thank you to all of you who sponsored me since this page was set up. Your sponsorship has helped Cats Aid to pay for my vet visits and medications. I’m doing much better now, check out the pictures of my belly below. The tablets I am on help to keep my skin condition under control. My Foster mam says it all thanks to the kind people who sponsored me and help make this happen. Garfield xx

Bessy’s Story!

Hi there my name is Bessy and I am a six year old female cat with beautiful beige flecks throughout my dark chocolate colored coat. When I came in to the Cats Aid Cattery I didn’t really like the other cats in the cattery so the Cattery Moma decided to give me a whole unit to myself. This was glorious. I could sleep where I wanted, eat when I wanted and play with all my own toys and never have to share them!

As the weeks went by my behavior improved, the nipping and swiping decreased and the Cattery Moma said I was ready to go into one of the experienced foster mammies homes.

So I went into a foster home in mid January 2021 and I am happy to report that I am doing really well.

If you pick me to sponsor this will contribute to some new toys to stimulate me to enhance my social skills when it comes to humans.

Also as I am a mature cat it will go towards Cat’s Aid being able to provide annual health checks, booster vaccinations, worming and flea treatments. Please consider me for sponsorship!

Donald’s Story!

Hi there, my name is Donald and I am the latest cat to join the Cats Aid Cattery. I got my name after being found and rescued by Cats Aid outside a McDonalds restaurant in December 2020. The weather was really awful at the time and I was living rough in a carpark. As there were lots of cars around me I was delighted to be rescued and I am safe and warm ever since.

Cats Aid brought me straight to their vet who checked me over and booked me in to be neutered. They gave me a clean bill of health thankfully. Soon I will be fully vaccinated and wormed again in order to make sure I stay healthy so I can secure a suitable foster home.

It’s early days still but I am not too sure about humans yet. I am quite scared at the moment. On the bright side I am making friends with the other cats who I share the cattery with. I am not too sure about my carer mammy yet either but she does give me good food and has the heat on 24/7 for which I am very grateful for. I also feel blessed and full of hope that my days of living rough are all behind me.

Eventually I would love an indoor/outdoor home with an owner who will look after me and understand that I need to learn to trust all over again.

Also as I am a mature cat if you choose to sponsor me, this money will go towards Cat’s Aid being able to provide me with annual health checks, booster vaccinations, worming and flea treatments.

Please consider me for sponsorship!

Justin’s Story!

Hi there, my name is Justin and I am an all black male adult with a gorgeous coat. I was rescued by Cats Aid in January of 2017 as a tiny  kitten so I am almost 4.My sister Penny also lives in the cattery with me. I am shy with humans but I am very soft and would never swipe or bite so I tend to run away if someone comes to pet me. In the cattery I get along fine with all the cats but my new pal is Donald.

Donald and I are slowly being introduced through the mesh internal cattery door where we can see each other and I can rub my body up and down flirting with Donald and hoping to grab his attention. So far so good – Donald sits there and looks over at me, so I am hoping over time that we will become the best of mates.

My cattery Moma feels that I am ready to go into foster as soon as an experienced foster becomes available. This will help me to gain more confidence and hopefully result in securing me a permanent loving home.

Sponsoring me will greatly contribute towards some new toys and a nice new cat tree to climb on.

Lots of love from Justin xx

Bernie’s Story!

Bernie’s Story

Hi, I am Bernie. I am a very good looking seven-year-old tabby and white cat. I was found in Dublin City Centre with a litter of four lovely kittens in a very unsafe situation.

When Cats Aid got the call about us they arranged to have us all rescued and taken in to their care. My kittens all found loving homes, but as I was very frightened I have been staying in the Cats Aid cattery ever since.

Cats Aid is looking after me really well, but sometimes I need to see the vet for general health care. My carers say that I have a lovely personality, but I am still afraid around humans. My best friend in the cattery is Hugo and we love cuddling together. Here at Cats Aid they all love me very much.

Please consider me for sponsorship!

Lots of love from Bernie xx

Kyle’s Story!

Hi, I am Kyle, a handsome black and white cat with beautiful golden eyes. When I was just seven months old, I was spotted with an injured tail and Cats Aid rescued me from living rough on the streets. I needed an emergency operation to have my tail removed and now I have a short stumpy tail which wags when I walk and looks very cute.

I also had a bad lice infestation, but after six months of treatment my fur became clean and shiny again. I am now living in the Cats Aid cattery, where I have good food, clean bedding and lots of cat friends. I am still wary of humans because of my early experiences, but Cats Aid still love me dearly.

If you sponsor Kyle this will help with his veterinary care and make sure he never has to be lonely, sick or frightened again.

Misty’s Story!

Hello, My name is Misty, perhaps because I disappear when you look at me. I have a vey pretty face with golden eyes and I am white with tabby markings.  I am a six year old female and  did not have a happy life when I was a kitten. I lived in a hoarding situation, where I had to hide all the time. I was almost feral, really.

However thankfully, I was rescued by Cats Aid and fostered.  I had hurt my leg, but it is healed now as Cats Aid brought me to the vets. At first I kept disappearing under beds and sofas and would only come out at night to eat. But now I am not so shy and frightened and I do not mind if my foster mammy looks at me. I am still afraid to let her touch me, but I am thinking about it. She talks to me all the time and now I talk back. I like to sit on a cushion and look out of the window and I even sit on my Mammy’s bed sometimes – but not when she is in it.

I do not really play yet – I did not learn how when I was a kitten. I will not always be so afraid and one day I will be ready to go to a forever home, although not just yet.  

So please consider sponsoring me, it will mean that I can continue to have my vet bills paid and I might even get a nice new bed in my foster home. Thank-you so much.

Misty xx
