Animals in need of a new home

This page will be updated frequently, so come back often and see if you can help some animal to find a new home.

This little kitten is a real survivor.  She was found on a very busy road along with her brother.  Unfortunately he had already been hit by a car.  But at around 3 weeks old this little cutey was taken to a home for  a few weeks until the lady rang us to take over.  She is currently at Kenmare vets with a companion.  Can you offer her a good home,  hopefully with another kitten, as its always good to re-home in pairs.

Born Sept 2007, these beautiful collie cross labs are awaiting a new home.  Would make great family pets or working dogs.The mother and father are known and anymore info of them, please ring us.

This 2 year old pure black cat is very tame and house-trained. Fully vaccinated and spayed and would make a great family pet. Must be allowed to come indoors as she is used to her home comforts. Genuine reason for the needing of a new home. (Added 18th June 2008)

These kittens are 2 of 4 needing safe and loving homes. Their mother (pictured left) will be spayed. The kittens are a little shy but we are currently in the process of catching them. Only around 7 weeks old so once we have them, they will tame up quickly. Can you offer a good home. Preferably would like these to go in pairs.

These four kittens to the right are 4 weeks old and they will be able to go to a new home at about 8 weeks old (sometime in June 2008). The mother is a stray but now being looked after by a kind gentleman. One ginger, one tabby, one calico and one tortoiseshell. If you are interested please ring us.

A few up-to-date pics of the kittens. They are now 7 weeks old and playing around. All healthy and ready to go from June 18th.

The young ginger cat strayed into someone's home. It's blind in one eye and has his tongue sticking out a lot but a really cutey and doesn't take long for him to warm to a person. The lady currently feeding him can pick him and fuss him. Are you interested in giving the cat a new home? We don't think he will be on this page for long, as you can see he is a handsome chap.

This cat strayed into someone's garden around mid April and has stayed ever since. Beautiful healthy cat but a little timid. We are sure in time she will be a pure lapcat but seems to have been scared by something. If you can give this cat a good home please ring us (087 267 3023).

These two collies are around 9 months old and are in desperate need of a home. The black collie is very active and friendly whereas the other, although friendly, is a little timid, but in time he should come round with the right person. They do not have to go together and they have not been neutered as yet.
Collies make lovely pets and are very intelligent dogs but need a lot of exercise and activity. Please ring 087 267 3023 if you can help. (Added 28th Feb. 2008)

Bianca, vaccinated and spayed female urgently needs a new home. We adopted her out to a lovely family almost a year ago but it turns out that the mother of the family has a severe allergy. They do not want to part with Bianca and she is spoilt rotten, hardly ever leaving the house, so she needs the same loving environment. She is very healthy and loves affection and would make a great friend and companion to anyone who would take over from her current family. Please call us on 087 267 3023. (Added 5th Feb. 2008)

Adopting an animal

To find a pet that may suit, could you please answer the following questions and return to me by email at tiggertrust49@hotmail.com. Please include any other information which you may consider useful.

• What are you looking for?
• What region are you in?
• Do you have something very specific in mind?
• Do you have children (young/older),
• Do you have an enclosed secure garden,
• Do you have or have you had animals before,
• Do you have animals already, etc. I'll keep your name on file and contact you when I hear about a matching home needed.

When you have decided that you would like to take responsibility of an animal that has previously been in trust with the Tigger Trust an adoption form is given to you whereby you will agree to take care of your new pet, vaccinate it and have neutered/spayed at the appropriate time and if required take to your vet for any medical treatment.

You can take an animal for a month's trial if you are worried it has a problem and may not be brought under control but in most cases a new owner is willing to keep the animal regardless of any disability.

If, however, after a month you are still not happy or the disability seems to be worse, then the Trust will re-home the animal for you.

We would like to make people aware that animal charities are funded and at some stage funding could be very minimum and so there may be a time that you are asked to hold the animal until a new home is found or funding is increased.

Please be certain if you take an animal that you are aware that sometimes it can take a long time to adjust to their new environment but also the animal itself may not actually be happy in your environment for whatever reason. In most cases all new homes are very successful.

Fostering an animal

We constantly need help with fostering animals.

Can you offer to keep some of our rescued or unwanted animals in your home until a suitable new owner is found? Tigger Trust re-homes animals reasonably quickly and no animal that has been in our care has had to wait more than a few months for a new home.

If you are unable to foster would you like to give a donation or take part in the fundraising efforts to help fund the upkeep of taking care of these animals.

Any support is hugely appreciated and with your help we can control the animal population.
