At LSPCA.ie, you can keep up to date on all that we’re doing at the Laois SPCA, see our upcoming events, find out how you can help us and see the animals we have in our care waiting to be rehomed.
If you can, we would be very grateful if you could donate to the Laois SPCA on our Donations page. Your donations go directly to helping the animals in our care.
Don’t forget to visit the Laois SPCA charity shop in Hynd’s Square, Portlaoise! All proceeds go directly to helping the animals in our care.
The Laois SPCA have so far this year subsidised the neutering of nearly 500 owned cats and issued over 70 half-cost neutering vouchers to dog owners. This has only been possible because of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine Animal Welfare Grant for which we are extremely thankful.(new)
We are currently looking for both cat and dog foster carers. All vet’s bills, food and litter are covered by us. All we need is your time and compassion. Every day we have several calls from people finding kittens, or people finding litters in their garden and asking us to pick them up. We usually have a lot of cats and kittnes in our care, with only a handful of foster carers.
Pets for Rehoming
spaniel
This beautiful lady is Clara, a 10 year old cocker spaniel. Clara didn’t have a great life prior to being surrendered into our care. She needed a lot of veterinary treatment, which she has received and she is now one happy lady. Unfortunately, Clara is deaf as a result of an ear infection being left […]Read more →
Clara
Meet Clara. Clara was trapped at the dump along with her kittens. We initially thought she was a feral cat but she was so thin we didn’t want to release her back so we decided to take her into care and at least fatten her up a bit. Turns out Clara is a social cat […]Read more →
Lucia
Meet Lucia. Lucia (Lucy) came into our care as a TNR (trap neuter return). These cats are usually released after they have been neutered but the vet advised that Lucia had the worst case of lice she had ever seen and would really need a follow up treatment in a few weeks. The lady that […]Read more →

In Memory of Nell

She was found straying, her ears were so badly matted they were dragging the ground, her little body was covered in mange, she had mammary tumours, her eyes were […]HELP IS URGENTLY NEEDED with real animal rescue
9th Apr 2021If we were to ask for help with cuddling puppies and kittens in our shelter (which we haven’t got), we would be inundated with replies — but what we do need is help with the unglamorous side of rescue. As well as rehoming abandoned animals, our main aim is to reduce the number of unwanted […]Cat neutering scheme
31st Jan 2021For the month of February, we are running a subsidised cat neutering scheme. We were overrun with kittens last year and this is primarily due to people taking on small kittens and losing interest as they get older and neglecting to neuter them. Kittens can be neutered from 4 months onwards, as advised by the […]
