Cat shelters - abandoned kitten

    I found an abandoned kitten in a plastic bag yesterday evening - she is tiny; about 4 weeks old, beautiful markings and a lovely temperament, despite her ordeal :(

    Is there anywhere in Galway city/county that takes in kittens/cats, but doesn't put them down? Does the GSPCA on Augustine Street still take them in - I brought in a stray cat there a few years ago.

    Any information would be much appreciated.

    Yes GSPCA take them in, if they have space. They would probably look for someone to foster the kitten, until a permanent home is found. The galway cat rescue operates similarly. You could try contacting both. Well done on saving the little one!

    I was at the Mace Shop on the Old Monivea Road and there was a few kids hanging around - one little boy had the kitten in his arms - he said he has just seen an older boy dump a bag on the nearby football pitch - there was a rock in it. The boy opened it and the poor kitten was inside it.

    She was dirty and had a little blood on her but she doesn't appear to be seriously injured. She has been drinking a little milk and I got the special newborn kitten food in Pet World for her! Someone suggested I ring Ark Veterinary in the city and the girl there has fortunately agreed to take her.

    I cannot believe someone could be so callous to a defenceless animal :(
