The lovely Radagast headed off on Saturday (9/3/18) to her new home. An older lady who was found shivering and starving behind a hotel. Radagast needed to gain weight before she could start her immunisations but this she did quite quickly and she soaked up all the love and attention she got in her foster […]

Last Thursday (7/3/18), we welcomed this little girl, Trixie, into our care from the Laois pound. Only a year old and so scared, but a sweet gentle girl behind the fear. She’ll get plenty of TLC and will be spayed, vaccinated and microchipped before looking for her new home. We’ll keep you posted on Trixie’s […]

Not a good start to the year… Following on from yesterday’s news item on the seven puppies found in a bag — unfortunately one puppy passed away last night (31st) and the remaining one died early this morning. They were very weak when they came in to us — God only know how long they were […]

Seven puppies were found in a bag just after Christmas and only two are still alive.

Unfortunately, one of our volunteers ended up having to collect this kitten on Christmas night, an unwanted Christmas present. Seriously what do some humans have as brains? Why would you go out and get an animal who needs love and care for someone without checking with them first?

THE LAOIS SPCA would like to thank all our supporters for the help they have given us during the year. Some give money anonymously so we cannot thank them individually, some pay money monthly via standing orders or PayPal, others donate food- whatever way you help we would like you to know it is so […]

Jesse and our volunteer spent a lovely afternoon on Monday, with the 3rd year students of Portlaoise College and their teacher Ms Scully. What amazing students, they are really concerned for the welfare of animals. A big THANK YOU for the fabulous hamper, our puppies are having a great time playing with all the toys. […]

We learned today that, unfortunately, the Portlaoise GAA are planning to have a fundraiser at the greyhound track in Newbridge next week. We believe this is a very poor choice of venue and would ask that the Portlaoise GAA reconsider this form of fundraising. We would encourage everyone at the club to take the time […]

The calls have started already. People have been calling us trying to book a kitten or puppy for Christmas. “Oh, can I pick it up on Christmas Eve?” No, our volunteers work hard enough during the year and deserve to have Christmas Eve to themselves to enjoy with their own animals and animals they are […]

This poor little 4 week old was found this morning in Laois County Hall carpark by a nice lady called Sandra who contacted us. She was freezing cold, terrified and with a very sore leg. Another good reason to neuter your cats. Obviously unwanted and uncared for 😞

We are in Laois Shopping Centre today (25th May) just opposite Tesco from 10 am – 8 pm. We are hoping that you can pick up an extra box of pet food to donate to us when you are doing your shopping. If not, we would be happy to chat to you at our table […]

We got a message yesterday afternoon from a very concerned gentleman. He had seen a baby crow sitting in the Bridge Centre car park and it wasn’t moving. He was concerned that it would get injured from either a car or animal. Our volunteers went out immediately and found the poor thing just sitting there. […]

As some of you may remember, Rosie came into our care with a broken leg that had already healed and left her in a lot of pain. Rosie had a plate and pins inserted to reline her broken bones and straighten her deformed leg. Everything seemed to be going well for the first couple of […]

This little girl was hit by a car this evening in Castletown. A lovely lady called Claire rang it in and stayed with her until one of our volunteers got out there.
