Lost/Missing Douglas Street 9th September 2012

Letna is one and a half year old, neutered female cat. She is a tabby cat with touches fo tan, white on her undersides and on her legs. She also has a white diamond between her shoulders.
she is generally shy of new people but when relaxed she is quite affectionate and vocal. she has no collar and is not microchipped.

Please contact Olan at 087 056 50 32 if you see her or have any details.

Still missing: It has been 5 months but his owner is still hoping:

Please Please Help Find "Setsu"
He went missing in the Castlelack area of Bandon one week ago yesterday. Setsu,he is five years old and neutered. He is very much an indoor cat and doesn't usually go far from outside the house. I expect he would be in the Castlelack/Brinny area, so if anyone sees him can they please contact kay on 086 37 55 77 2. please share this if you have friends in this area. the photo is a bit dark so even if you think a cat you see is him please ring as he is in an area that he is not familiar with.

We wish to acknowledge and thank Georgia Hopkins, artist, for her kind donation to Cork cat action trust from the recent exhibition of her work. We thank her for her kindness and wish her to know that we really appreciate her donation.

Assistance from our supporters
Without the support of everyone who have given us monies, food and blankets throughout 2011 and recently those who sent us Christmas donations we would not have been able to keep going. You have enabled us to do that little bit more and a thank you as you have helped get a few more cats neutered and fed. Every donation and kindness is gratefully received and wonderful. Lastly, a big thank you to the people who have gotten many feral cats and kittens neutered and to those who have adopted from us, and may your kindness be rewarded. Thank you for thinking of the cats and kittens.

2012 - Grant assistance Thank you Minister Coveney.

We were delighted to receive a grant of €9,000 from the Department of Agriculture just before Christmas. Needless to say, this will be an enormous help in paying some of our veterinary bills, which average €3,500 per month. Thanks to this grant, a bit more can be done.

What we achieved in August 2012

Neutered 52 felines,

Vaccinated 17 kittens, (the fight against flu and leukaemia begins when they are

kittens),

Two cats had amputations,

Three were tested for cat aids and leukaemia,

Two were Put to Sleep as they were beyond veterinary care.

From January to end of June 2011, our workload is as follows:

Neutered:      226

Vaccinations:     85

Adoptions:        45

Euthanasia:       37
Our work load for July 2011 is as follows:

Neutered:     52

Vaccinations:   20

Euthanasia:      9

Testing for fiv and aids:  5

Euthanasia is the last option, and in all cases it was because of terrible injury, or terminal illness. If feral and obviously sick cats are tested and found positive for feline aids and leukemia there is very little option but to put them to sleep humanely, both to end their suffering, and to protect the other populations from infection. Leukemia particularly in adult cats, is invariably fatal.

From October 2011 onwards, we can reclaim income tax which has been paid on all donations made to us in the previous year, in excess of €250 a year, or €21 per month.

A number of our benefactors do donate this amount or more to us annually, but unfortunately we do not always have their contact addresses or phone numbers. If you are one of these blessedly kind people, we would be grateful if you could let us have your address details so that we could send you the necessary form, or otherwise, simply go our help page on the website, down load the page (CHY2 appendix 2) from the Revenue link, complete and forward it to Ellen McCormack, Killeenleigh, Aghabullogue, Co. Cork. Our charity number is CHY18345, our charitable exemption was granted on the 24th October 2008, and we were authorised as an eligible charity on 18th November 2010.

Cork Cat Action Trust is a very very small group of unpaid volunteers. All funds raised go to neutering cats and caring for those that we are able to help. Therefore any help we receive is greatly appreciated.

ATTENTION CAT OWNERS

A number of cats have gone missing in the Mogeely, Cobh and the Carrigtwohill areas.
PLEASE BE EXTRA VIGILANT WITH YOUR CATS
Please Do Not LEAVE THEM OUT AT NIGHT and make yourself aware of suspicious vans and if you see someone with a trap ask them what they are about. If its innocent then there should be no worries about answering questions.
REPORT All SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY TO THE GARDAI and if you have reg numbers of cars and vehicles give them that also.

Our Reason for being:
Cork CAT is a non profit group dedicated to the well-being and welfare of cats, feral, stray, and abandoned where possible. Our main objective is to neuter feral cats: to reduce the suffering of and prevent unwanted breeding of feral cats by a programme of trap/neuter/release. All funds raised go towards veterinary care for cats that we are able to help. To this end we have to ask for the cost of the neutering which is greatly subsidized.
Cork CAT is a very very small group of dedicated volunteers and unfortunately we do not have a sanctuary and space for taking in cats and or kittens is very limited.
