    Hey, I am looking for a kitten. I am based in Limerick City. Im not looking for a pedigree-just a tabby kitten. If at all possible I would love a grey striped kitten (like my childhood cat!!) but obviously would be interested in anyone who is giving away kittens. If anyone has any info PM me. Thanks again!

    If you go to Limerick Animal Welfares site and go to the Rehoming tab, then cats for rehoming, there are some lovely looking kittens there..... you should definitely consider them....

    I have considered them and have even spoken to them on the phone. they are fantastic. My only issue is that Im not driving and they are based an hour away from Limerick City so getting there would be quite difficult. Donty mind asking friends to drive me round Limerick City but an hour each way is a bit of an ask.

    Anyway if anyone does know of someone giving away kittens in the Limerick City area :)

    LAW deal with Crescent vets a lot (or used to last time I checked) they have been known to organise someone dropping an animal at the vets for you to collect, but you'd be better off seeing the animal first and meeting them.

    out there yesterday, they've some really lovely kittens. we took an adult for our sister. donation policy is 80 euros, covers nueterering and vacs, we threw 20 for the extra. well worth annoying your mates, LAW are a great bunch of people doing good work.

    Ive been on to them. They cant. They dont have any kitten in foster care at the moment and they said they dont have any liinks with vets that I could collect from. I checked the signs in Paws n Claws too and it was only pedigree kittens for sale. I thought this would be easier at this time of year!!! I was just hoping to find a family who had a cat with kittens they were trying to rehome.

    Was out in the Limerick Animal welfare site today
    as there was a bus out and back (I dont have transport myself so took the oppertunity to get a trip out there)

    They have LOADS of adorable kittens. (At a rough guess at least 30-50 of them)
    Some of their eyes are still blue so they are only a few weeks old. There are some lovely ones and some are outgoing and friendly at such a young age.

    Would be really worth it if you managed to find someone that could drive you out there and back. The place is fantastic.

    I should have taken more pics but it was so busy with adults and kids running in front of me all of the time blocking my view only took a few shots.

    This last one was a so called "wild cat" that was let out, everyone petted the cat and it seemed
    to be fairly tame, so tame it decided to go sleeping in the rabbit encloser.

    I was thinking of getting a Kitten too recently.must be something in the air! I might be driving out there later on this week,I will pm you If I am.
    Those kittens that bullets posted are so cute,how on earth am I gona choose one!

    I was just wondering on the cat front. I'll be moving from Rathkeale to Cork in September where I'll be going to college. Do cats mind being moved around a bit, as Il want to bring it home at weekends and Summer holidays?

    The photos are fab - thanks for posting! :)

    Delighted there is so much interest in adopting from LAW. :) I know the donation can be off-putting, but all the kittens are wormed, de-flead, vaccinated and the donation includes neutering. Do all that yourself with your own vet and it'll cost you a heck of a lot more. ;)

    The boys are rehomed at eight weeks, and LAW put you in touch with a vet who will neuter them for you when they're old enough at no extra charge to you.

    The girls we hold on to until they are 12 weeks and we neuter them before they leave us - but you can reserve one.

    The "wild" cat is Monty - he's not wild at all! :D He had a great time welcoming all the visitors! :p

    Thanks Everyone. I got sorted and Im delighted.

    Also, just for the record Im a big supporter of Limk Animal Welfare. I often gove them money and have adopted a dog from there in the past. The money would never put me off-you are gonna pay that for the shots that you must get your kitten anyway. Just on this occassion I couldnt have gotten out there.

    Thanks for all the help :)

    The donation wouldn't put me off at all. In fact, I think its very good value for getting all those necessary vet stuff done. When I get my new kitty,Il post the pics up here :)
