Annual Report & Accounts

February 2021 to January 2022

It has been another challenging year for us. As the world returned to normality after the turmoil of the pandemic, we became very busy once more. The kitten season started early for us. We had two lots of cats with kittens abandoned. We had to purchase a cat trap to get them to safety. Sadly, one of the cats would not go in the trap and we were only able to trap the kittens. They were only around 5 weeks old and had to be reared without their mother. We were more successful with the other litter and managed to trap mum as well. Unfortunately, she was already pregnant again despite her kittens only being around 8 weeks old. Although we rehomed all the kittens, mum could not be handled as she was completely feral. We removed the kittens from her at six weeks so they would not be feral too. Mum was taken to a rural farm and released after being neutered of course and vaccinated. It is all we can do when a cat is feral. The farmer has reported seeing her around the barns, so she is staying in the area where at least she has shelter and is being fed.

Dora, a feral that had to be trapped with her 4 kittens. She was already pregnant again and had another 7.

Vinnie, a traumatised pup from an unscrupulous breeder

We had animals given up with medical issues as owners did not want the expense. A very poorly Guinea Pig called Skittles whose mouth was so full of abscesses he could not eat. He had major dental problems and despite the vet’s best efforts, died 10 days later. Sunny the Siamese was given up as it had a problem going to the toilet. This was easily sorted with medication and the cat is happily rehomed, supported by Heathlands.

The huge demand in dogs during the pandemic saw puppies being sold for ridiculous prices and unscrupulous breeders were quick to respond. We were asked to take a Chihuahua cross with a Pomeranian, that was only a few months old. The people paid good money for him, but he was so traumatised they could not even get a collar and lead on him. We had to send an experienced foster carer to the house to collect the dog. After several weeks of rehabilitation, we were able to rehome him. It was plain that the poor pup had not received any interaction until the day he was sold.

We are continuing to source dogs from the continent as there are still few dogs coming in via Ireland or locally. We are expecting a surge in unwanted dogs as people return to their normal place of work. We are getting a few already. Romanian dogs are always in need. They are often quite shy as have been left to their own devices with very little love or training. With a bit of work, they do improve and make lovely pets. This is achieved with the help of our fabulous foster carers.

Sunny the cat given up because of a medical condition

Romania has a never ending supply of unwanted dogs and pups

Adoptions this year are as follows: 281 dogs, 22 cats, 9 small pets.

As we ease our way out of the pandemic chaos, we are facing new challenges. We are bracing ourselves for the deluge of unwanted pets as people return to full days at work away from home. We are already seeing more dogs with behavioural issues such as separation anxiety and anti-social behaviour due to dogs not being socialised during the lockdowns. We are committed to helping as many as we can with the help of our dog rehoming team, fundraisers and foster carers.
