DUMPED KITTENS!!! OUR LATEST KITTEN RESCUE. WE ARE ON A MISSION

6th Jun 2025
***PLEASE DO NOT DUMP KITTENS*** These kittens were found in a ditch last night in Clonaslee. We suspect they were dumped there as it would be very difficult for them to end up where they were found all by themselves 💔 If you need help with kittens please reach out to us. YES it might take us some time to organise help. YES it might take us a day or so to reply but we will help you. There is never a good enough reason to abandon them or dump them. There are many ways you can reach out to us for help so please do 🙏 Cat Coordinator 0852397059Lspcarescue@gmail.com We are also very responsive on our social media platforms.

HELP IS URGENTLY NEEDED with real animal rescue

If 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
