Portlaoise GAA gone to the Dogs

5th Nov 2018
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 […]

Puppies are not Christmas presents!

3rd Nov 2018
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 […]

Cat neutering scheme (Mar ‘18)

16th Mar 2018
Because a few were disappointed at missing our last reduced price cat neutering scheme at the beginning of February, we have decided to run another starting 20th March. Mating season is underway, so unless you want litters of kittens that we can’t or won’t take away, then the sensible thing is take advantage of this […]
