Mauricio.
Lost his front right leg after being struck by a car.
Available NOW for adoption with Dublin SPCA.
His foster mum sez:
“Don’t let the fact that Mauricio missing a limb fool you into thinking he’s not as active or able as other cats – he doesn’t seem to notice it missing at all and is the most agile cat and quickest climber I’ve seen in a long time.’
We promised to keep you up to date with developments concerning Lego the duck.
Lego was lightly crisped during an attempt by fiendish tykes to cook him on a “hot stove”.
Well…

You may recall Barney.
Rescued by the DSPCA in January after slipping into the river a water tributary (top) at Kylemore Road in South Dublin.
So badly injured was Barney they only discovered he was a she days later and quickly renamed her Bernie.
It was touch and go for a while but…
From the DSPCA this morning…
We are delighted to announce the arrival of Barney (Bernie’s) foal who was born during the night.
Previously: This Was Barney On Monday
Or, you know, a temporary home.
A mixture of both would be ideal.
