The Cone Of Dignity

p_20130415015908ShadowShadow.

A mere something of his former self.

I arrived to the Dublin SPCA with an injured back leg.  It was very bad so the only thing to do was to turn me into a 3 legged kitty!! As you can see from my photo I’be been upgraded from a cone of shame and I’m wearing a very fetching inflatable collar but it’s only while my injuries heal.  I will be able to live a happy & full life even though I only have 3 legs and I can’t wait to find a home where I can rule the roost!

Shadow, this morning (via DSPCA handler).

Three legs.

Handy for the stills photographer.

This Is Not Cheltenham Week

It was Dublin.

Last week.

From Dublin SPCA:

Meet Digby, he is the 83rd horse our inspectors were called out to last week alone. Digby was found wandering on the main road beside Citywest on Friday. He is not microchipped so yet again we have no way of tracing his owners. Our vets are currently looking into the the reasons for his skin condition and we will let you know as soon as we have an update.
We need your support to help horses like Digby, simply share his story to raise awareness of the importance of traceability or you can donate online to help with his care.

Would You Like Jane Eyre?

Overlooked but full of love.

From Dublin SPCA:

SPECIAL APPEAL: Jane Eyre has been in the shelter for a few months now and would really love to be in a home giving love and affection to her new owners. We would love to see her going to a new home soon especially before kitten season arrives and she is over looked.

Anyone?

This Was Barney On Monday

After slipping down a steep bank into water near the Kylemore Road in South Dublin, Barney had been wandering in the stream for several hours.

UNTIL this dramatic rescue by the DSPCA and fire officers from Dolphin’s Barn.

Barney was suffering from hypothermia and it was feared he wouldn’t make it.

Well…

Barney this morning munching on hay.

Says an officer:

Barney is in the DSPCA rehabilitation stables receiving care and treatment after his ordeal and we will be looking for a new home for him in the near future.

Saving George

The very gorgeous George.

He’s had a time of it.

From Dublin SPCA

This little cat (we have named George) was rescued last night from teenagers that were trying to throw him into the canal at Inchicore Dublin 8.
A member of the public rang us this morning to say that he had seen three girls and two boys aged approximately thirteen to fifteen egging each other on to drop the cat from the lock into the deepest part of the canal. The man immediately went over and took the cat from the teens and brought it home to safety.
First off we would like to point out that this man although we cannot name him is a hero in our eyes and we are so grateful for his intervention although it would be only right for us to encourage anyone in this situation to call the local Garda station first for advice.
Also if anyone in the area knows who might own this cat please contact us, he is a 1 yr old male Tabby not neutered and very sweet natured. Call us on 014994700 or email lost@dspca.ie .

Remember Faith?

Three weeks ago she was found covered in cement, blind in one eye and painfully bewildered.

And today?

From Dublin SPCA:

Just a little update on Faith the kitten that came in covered in cement and fly strike [fly eggs had hatched underneath an infected eye]. Faith is now with one of our fantastic foster people Dave (above) and is doing really well.
