The Tigger Trust: Archive of Re-Homed Animals

Archive of re-homed animals up to 2007

Polly and her kitten were re-homed successfully.

This cat was found very thin and with cat flu. After appropriate care she was adopted out. We visited her sometime later and she was delighted in her new home. And she certainly isn't thin anymore.

These 3 cats were amongst 8 other cats. We had all 8 spayed and neutered and these 3 were re-homed together on a farm.

This pair were to be put to sleep but we found them a wonderful home in the country near Abbeyfeale, Co Kerry . They are living with 4 little girls, 3 beautiful German Shepherds and another cat.

Mummy, Pepper and Honey were finally re-homed to a lovely family mid May 06.
They have 3 other cats, a dog, goat and hens. They really have found their animal heaven Thank you so much to the new owners. Oh apparently they have had their flea collars put on already and are living in the kitchen to start with and will be gradually introduced to the other animals.

Cozer a 2 1/2 year old Boxer has gone to a new home very quickly. His original owner loved him so much but she was suffering from breast cancer and could not give him what he needed and also the area she lives in there were some people hitting him as they thought he was vicious. Boxers are a lovely animal but do need their exercise and are prone to leukaemia or cancer. They get stressed very easily to. Please be sure that when you get an animal that you understand what they need. Thank you to the family who now have Cozer. He goes out for a walk in the morning and two at night and is spoilt rotten.

Pixie and Velvet were amongst 11 cats. They went to their new home in Feb 2006 in the country area of Killarney to a family of three. We went to see them and they seem very happy and they are very playful, something they never had where they originally came from. It is so nice to see cats in a home where they can be indoors and get the attention they truly deserve.
Thank you to the family who adopted them.

When they saw each other again they rubbed noses and are very happy to have found each other. Thanks to the family for taking these special cats.

Twiggy was amongst 11 other cats and she was found to have cat flu, very thin and not eating and bad lungs. She was force fed and put on a nebuliser. after just 10 ten she is a different kitten as you can see. She is being re-homed with another cat that was going to be put to sleep.

Amba and Willow, 2 spayed females were re-homed on sat 11 Feb 06 to a lovely couple in the country. Amba has already been exploring and decided to go under the floorboards in the early hours. she was very happy but the new owners had to saw a pipe to get her out as they were worried, but of course she was fine. These pair are being spoilt rotten. Thank you to the new owners for giving this pair a great safe loving home.

Felix and Suzie, who we neutered and spayed were amongst ten cats ready to be put to sleep. We have great news in that we took them to their new home on 26th jan 06 where the new owner and her little girl in Firies, Co Kerry bought them a new bed and they are being kept inside for a week or two to settle in. Both semi wild but in time will be fine and happy. Thank you to the new owners for given these cats one of their 9 lives back.

Timmy and Tommy are another 2 of 12 cats we saved from being put to sleep.
We had them neutered and checked over by a vet and they were re-homed 26th Jan 06 to a lovely elderly couple in Tralee in the country. They have their own warm shed and constant attention from their new owners. They are semi wild but are currently being tamed up. Thanks to their new owners!

All 8 of these puppies were finally found homes. Collie dogs are not only working dogs, they make great family pets, and we have our own collie pets and so know how intelligent they are and reasonably easy to train. Yes, sometimes collies like all dogs can take time to train, but the rewards of our labours are amazing. Dogs are very loyal creatures so long as they are happy and given the correct attention and love. Please think about having a collie dog as they also are not inclined to need veterinary treatment like a pedigree does.

Tasha, was one of the last dogs of 2005 to be successfully re-homed. She is in the country with an experienced person of this breed of dog. A bit highly strung but she is being trained to her best abilities.

Suzie who was bought at Puk Fair and handed over to the Tigger Trust in a very bad way is now in her new home and doing very well. She is a real character and spoilt rotten. Please be sure when you get a puppy that you realise the huge responsibility that comes with it.

These two adorable kittens who were going to be put to sleep where fostered for a week until they got a brilliant new home in the country area in Killarney. We have gone to visit them a few times and they are getting so big and they seem to like licking peoples noses. They are adorable and very much taken good care of. Thanks to the new owners and we would also like to give a fond hello/goodbye to Gypsy who they adopted from us some years ago who has sadly passed away.

Jim was found mid November 2005 on the road in Kenmare. Such a beautiful kitten near grave danger was rescued by a young man who contacted one of our volunteers for help. Within days we had him in his new home just outside of Tralee. He has the company of another rescue cat and a big Retriever called Zep. I think the dog is more scared of the kitten actually!. Thanks a million to our rescuers and for the new family, I am sure you will get plenty of hours of fun with this extraordinary looking kitten.

Lady and Shadow were re-homed in October after living amongst 4 dogs and 8 pups, We went to visit them on November 2nd and they are very happily settled in the Country near Castleisland, Co Kerry. This pic of them was taken after they had their first bath. They were very good and felt better after they were nice and clean. Thank you to the lady who has taken these dogs and who spoils them rotten Shadow and Lady have a really great life. We went to visit them in may of 2006 and my goodness they have coats to die for, so shiny and thick. They love to play in the garden and anything you leave on the tables or chairs they will get and chew up, but how can you be angry at such a beautiful pair. Thank you so much to the lady who has given them such a good life.

Amy whose sisters were attacked and killed by an Alsatian some few weeks ago has been re-homed out of harms way in Kenmare. She is doing really well and kept indoors until she is a little bigger and gets used to her new surroundings. Thanks so much to the young lady who has given her a chance of a happy life. Please, if there are dogs around your area that are not cat friendly, be sure to keep them safe. Thank you!

This little pair who were roaming kenmare back streets with their mummy have been re-homed amongst a few other cats in the country in Kenmare. Their mummy has been spayed and re-homed also.
This little tabby and her twin sister were re-homed end of September to a lovely couple in the country. This little black and white fella was re-homed by the lady who has the mummy cat and who has since been spayed, well done Tess.
Twink, like his two sisters has now got a great home in the country. A happy ending for 3 cats that were going to be put to sleep. Please , if you are thinking there is no one who can help, try us first as we will not put any animal down unless completely necessary.

Travis the 18month old retriever cross boxer finally found a new home in the country beginning of October 2005. He is with a family and will be indoors as well as outdoors, so the best of both worlds .Thanks very much to the people who have adopted him and for your donation to help other animals.
These 3 cats were all successfully re-homed. The two girls to a lovely man in the country and Twink pictured above has also gone to the country amongst other very much loved and fussed over cats.
These kittens were re-homed successfully without our help. Glad to see there are others re-homing to. Thank you.
This little kitten found wondering around a hotel in Tralee has been successfully re-homed with a little tabby kitten in Lauragh, Kenmare area. They have lots of land to play around in and out of harms way. Great!

Buster is now in beautiful Kenmare with 6 acres and another dog for company. Just where he belongs and truly deserves to be.

Basil was re-homed the beginning of September. After roaming the roads where he was found he is now safe and sound.
These two gorgeous kittens have been re-homed in the country along with 3 others. One of the children has learning disabilities and we strongly feel it is a great thing to unite both animal and child together to bring each other much happiness. All the cats from which these kittens came from have now been spayed and neutered.

These two kittens were living behind a pet shop. They were very sick when they were found but now have a lovely new home in the country in Killarney with one other cat and a small dog.

This young cat that was found with cat flu is doing great in her new home we visited. She was spayed before she was re-homed and was found to have Pyrametra. This is a problem that is only detected if the animal is opened up. It can cause vats to lose kittens but also if never treated can cause incredible pain and death. She was very lucky and now lives in Killarney with a couple. Thank you to the new owners.

Elsie was in the vets for a considerably amount of time as his owner was very ill. We are pleased to say after many weeks he has now gone back home.

This little kitten was found dumped outside a B and B, barely old enough to leave his mother. We had a call and collected him. The same day he was given a lovely home in Kenmare. We visited him the other day and he is growing and doing well with his new family, including two dogs who adore him.
This young male was taken to one of our vets after being attacked by a Tom cat. He had no long lasting wounds and has since been neutered and re-homed together with his brother.

All six of these adorable kittens have got homes. They went in pairs, 2 in Glenbeigh and 2 in the Killarney area and two went to England. All kittens doing great. Big thank you to the new owners.
Polly was neutered and re-homed several weeks later. She is very happily living with 2 other cats and a family.
These two kittens where re-homed successfully to separate homes. Initially outdoor kittens but have both gone to a family environment where they are sure to get plenty of fuss.

This old female terrier was going to be put to sleep as its previous owners could not manage her anymore. Luckily after a few phone calls she has now found a new home. Thanks to the lady that found the new home!

These 2 cats were both rather wild when they were caught. After they were neutered they were then taken to their new home and put in cages for a week to get used to their new environment and the current animals living there, dogs and other cats. They were given fresh fish daily by their new owners and given plenty of fuss. Soon to be released as they are coming round a treat. They are in the country and as you can see surrounded by the ocean.
What a great start to the rest of their lives!

You would have seen Muffy on the could you walk away link. Well he is in his new home and very very happy. Here is the latest pic of him along side a current resident. He is a real mischief and chases all the other cats.
Can you believe these two photos are the same kitten!!

Tigger was successfully re-homed on July 7th. Here he is in a cage we have put him in for a for days to get used to his new home and of course the big dog. It is a good way to introduce dogs and cats gradually and this method is very successful as they can get used to one another. After a few days they can then come out into their new home and investigate and then explore the outdoors. It takes a little time but we find it beneficial as there is less chance of the new animal running away or getting lost. Tigger, now know as Tom, is doing very well in his new home. We went to visit him at the end of October and could clearly see that both cat and dog are getting on great, in fact Tom is the boss of the two. The family that table have Tom are spoiling him rotten and he gets plenty of fuss and after being initially quite timid he is a complete lap cat now, just time and love can bring a timid cat round.

These 3 cats including a fourth have been given a wonderful home in the country. Two have been spayed and we are still trying to catch the pregnant one. when she is caught we will allow her to have her kittens as she is close to giving birth. The kittens will be tamed up easily to become friendly kittens. The black and white one pictured unfortunately was killed on the road a few days ago. What a shame as we had a home for her. If she was not just left as a kitten she would not of been frightened of people so much and also if she had been given a loving home as a kitten she may have still been alive. Well we cannot save them all but this is a message that feral cats can have a chance of a home. Thanks to the new owner for taking the 3 on.

This kitten who had her front leg amputated has found a new home.

The Ark Clinic in Killarney found the home. Great work guys!

These two dogs were re-homed together. The person that was taking care of them really did his bit and Tigger Trust did not have to get them homed as the man found them the perfect place. Well done!

Pepper and Honey.

Connor in his new home. He is very happily settled now. Very entertaining and much loved. will be vaccinated in a few weeks and neutered when he is old enough. Amazing to think this time two weeks ago he was wondering around up the Connor Pass, now he is in complete comfort.
This beautiful female kitten was found and looked after by a couple in the Kilcummin area until it was found a lovely new home amongst 2 other cats. A real character. Another happy ending for a stray.

Beauty has now found a new home in the country. She is now living amongst two pet lambs, two dogs, a parrot, budgies and surrounded by fields and table mountains. She settled in pretty much straight away. She unfortunately became a little overweight in her previous home but with some gentle dieting with Royal Canine food she will be trim in no time. Many thanks to the new owner and of course the people that took such good care of her while she was awaiting her new life.

Ginger was a stray who apart from being very scared when he was found, seemed to be in good health. He now lives with Tortie (pic to follow as she went on walk about when we took this pic). They are very attached to one another and live in a wonderful home with two owners who adore them.

This cat was found straying a car park and the lady that now has her decided enough was enough and brought her home. We got her spayed and she is doing very well, Loves her home comforts and says hi to everyone. This was one of the lucky ones who no longer has to search for food and live in her old environment of cars and other dangers.

This cats mother was killed on the road when he was very young and very wild. After 2 months of intense care and handling he has now become a very affectionate cat. Wild cats especially the younger ones can sometimes be tamed up if you give them enough attention for the first few months. A little more time and patience is maybe needed but it is worth it in the end.

Update on the 3 week old kitten that lost her mother. She was kindly taken table home by one of the local vets whose mother fell in love with her. She is doing very well and is sure to have a great life. Cats that are so young obviously need their mother for the first 8 weeks of their lives but if they table lose them we can syringe feed with a special milk alternative, which of course is not as good as its own mothers. It is a round the clock job syringe feeding animal but the rewards are so magical.

We were very scared when we arrived at the vets but soon settled after we were given some food and shelter and some TLC. It was not long after we got a new home.
Hello, I am Max and my mother was no longer wanted and so dumped. My mother went to a lovely home after she had me and my sisters and brothers. table I am now a proud father of 3 (pictured in pic below).

We were found completely matted, with fleas, ticks and under nourished. table After a few weeks in the vets and being washed and all our matting was cut out we got a lovely new home.

Stevie was found covered in fleas and ticks and very dirty. Once he was cleaned up and neutered he went to his new home in the country just outside of Killarney with another rescue. He goes on daily walks with his new owners up the mountains. He also loves the dog that lives with them. Soon to follow will be Stevie as he is today.

Stevie as he is today.

Mo and Mille came to the vets along with two other kittens. They were rather wild initially but as you can see this pair are very happily settled in their new home in the country outside Waterville.

Amy & Suzie where wild like their mother but after weeks in the vet were re-homed with a family who took great care of them. Unfortunately Suzy passed away when she was 18months old but Amy has another cat as company and a small dog.It is heartbreaking when we lose an animal but like many others, Suzy would not of had even a year of life if she was left where she originally was.
I was a wondering the streets when I stumbled across a house I knew would love me. I was all matted & covered in fleas when I arrived. But months on I am now king of the castle and love to be brushed at night time by my new owner.

Tommy was found wondering a shopping centre and searching for scraps. He was full of cat flu and was very dehydrated. After 4 weeks of care and medication he was re-homed. He is a real character and every meal he gets he still thinks its his last, he is partial to crisps and tea.
Pip the mother of these 3 pups lives with Max whose mother was pregnant when she was dumped (One of the pups, Toby, is pictured in a previous picture). All have new homes and doing very well.

Toby was born at the beginning of April 2005. The father of this pup came from a Yorkie dog who was pregnant when she was dumped. Now a year on Max has fathered 3 healthy pups.
My name is Cookie. I was found on the road and was about to be knocked down. Luckily someone stopped and took me home until I found a lovely home with two children. I love my life as i go for many walks and can snuggle up at night time in the warm.

SPOT & GINGER Spot the black and white cat was found as a kitten in the side of the road, she now lives with Ginger in the country and are very much a team together, everywhere ginger goes spot is sure to be. Spot and ginger today.	When they arrived at their new home
PUMPKIN Pumpkin has been taken to a lovely home in the country, he suffers from flea allergy dermatitis but can be kept under control. he originally was with a colony of cats and so did not help his condition but now is not only able to have more fuss as he is on his own but seems to be more relaxed and happier in his new environment.
MOLLY Molly the blind kitten was successfully re-homed at the beginning of May. She lives with two dogs and two other rescued cats, she amazingly found her way around after just a week and is getting on great. She is always playing with her toys and has no problems finding her toilet. She is in a safe environment in the country by the seaside. This is just one example of an animal that although blind, can live a very happy life.
My name is Pip and unfortunately my owner had to go to hospital but Tigger Trust found a lovely lady for me who takes very good care of me. I love my new bed and love the car rides I go on. Thanks to my new owner I have a wonderful new life.
