Meet Dawn! True to his name, Dawn will brighten your day 💛

A 5-month-old kitten with a pink nose and silky soft fur, Dawn was once a shy kitty; however, he has blossomed in foster care. Now he loves being pet, rewarding you with soft purrs and gentle licks.

This sweet boy has a calm, gentle demeanor and would love a feline friend - either one of his brothers, Midnight or Dusk, or another kitty companion. Dawn is ready to bring his bright energy to his forever home - could it be with you?🤞

The perfect forever home:
· Needs a kitty friend
· Indoor with possible outdoor access

· The CDPA adoption fee covers vet costs for vaccines, microchipping, spaying/neutering, spot on treatment, and worming treatment while in our foster care.

Moana: Your Lap Cat in Waiting 🐾

Looking for a super affectionate companion? Moana is your girl! This loving kitty adores being close—whether it’s on your lap, chest, or snuggling on the bed, she’s all about that human connection. Moana is playful and enjoys attention but prefers to be the star of the show, so a calm home with no dogs and older kids is her ideal setup.

While she’s not always in the mood to share her space with other cats, Moana is pure sweetness 70% of the time—ready to be your shadow and your snuggle buddy.

Her Ideal Home:
🐾 Indoor only
🐾 No dogs
🐾 Older kids only

Give Moana the loving, patient home she craves and enjoy endless cuddles in return.

Daisy, Daisy, Give Us Your Answer Do! 🎶

Meet Daisy, a sweet and elegant kitty with a shy but curious nature. While she’s an indoor girl, she loves bird-watching from the window and chasing feet under the duvet! Win her over with chin scratches and chicken-flavoured treats, and she’ll reward you with gentle affection and charm.

Daisy is independent yet playful, enjoying quiet time in her donut bed or hanging out with cats who respect her boundaries. She’s looking for a loving, patient human (preferably experienced!) and a kitty friend to share her forever home.

Her Ideal Home:
🐾 Child-friendly (older kids)
🐾 Needs a cat companion
🐾 Indoor only
🐾 Patient, stay-at-home human

Meet Violet – Your Grey and White Guardian 🐾

Meet Violet – Your Grey and White Guardian 🐾

Looking for a mix of playful and independent? Violet is the purrfect match for a calm, loving home! At just 10 months old, she’s fully vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped.

Violet craves human companionship and thrives in a quiet, child- and dog-free home—perfect for someone who works from home. While she loves attention, she’s not a fan of being picked up. With patience and understanding, she’ll be your loyal, cuddly companion.

Her idea of fun? Laser toys, cozy naps in sunbeams, and watching squirrel or bird videos online. She’s not an outdoor adventurer but may coexist with another calm, smaller cat (after some adjustment).

Key Info:
• Indoor only 🏠
• No children or dogs 🚫🐕👶
• Adoption fee covers vaccines, spaying, microchipping, flea, and worm treatments.

Give Violet the peaceful, loving home she deserves, and she’ll repay you with endless charm and companionship!

💞Fosters needed😻 Are you available to foster

💞Fosters needed😻
Are you available to foster in December - January? Or even better beyond! We have lots of fosters away over the festive season so help needed 🙏🏼

We definitely need more experienced fosters and/or kitty owners! But if just starting out on your cat/kittens care journey we have an excellent foster support team in place. We provide necessary equipment, dry food and all the guidance & support you will need.

Homes with friendly resident cats make GREAT foster homes, especially for solo kittens or cats that need a friend to show them the kitty ways. Having a friendly resident 😻 is a PAWSITIVE! 🐾😻🐾💞

If you have space in your heart ❤️ and your home 🏡 to help a cat or kittens in need please get in touch. We'll get some essential information from you, talk you through all involved in the Foster Process and see if it is right for you. It is highly rewarding. You could change or even save a life through your kindness and care.

We work closely with you to ensure our foster cats/kittens are healthy, happy & progressing 💕 And did you know that our foster support team gives extra guidance in our Spicy to Sweet WhatsApp group and fosterers work together and give each other hints and tips?

Apply to FOSTER all sorts of kitty paws with The Cat And Dog Protection Association Of Ireland - 😺 FOSTER link in bio 😺

And if you can't foster a kitty in your home? Why not consider volunteering with one of our other many dedicated teams to help cats & kittens find a safe & loving foster home and then their forever homes 😺 VOLUNTEER link in bio 😺

This fluffy little miss will be up for adoption ve

This fluffy little miss will be up for adoption very soon. Would you like Mindie to claim you as her human?

This sassy softy loves to wake up for cuddles before breakfast, then zoom & pounce (in a safe monitored space for now). She will climb on you, pounce smack things with her dainty little paws, bouncing off sideways. When over excited she nips & claws a little, which is easily redirected to her precious mouse toy & gently lifting her for a snuggle, stroking the sides of her face until she settles back to her girl cave (cat carrier) for nap time. A kitten safe room works well for her currently and she loves to roll about and to be close to her human.

She would be best suited to an indoor home, give her an inch she takes a mile, although she would probably make a good bag pack buddy or harness adventurer when bigger, if gently introduced to the idea.

So far Mindie is more of a girls girl. She would not suit a home with young children. Calmer the better, work from home even better, centre of attention...the best!

Meet Beau - The Curious Climber!! 🐾🐱

Beau is an adorable 3-month-old kitten with a ferocious spirit. 💪 She’s an adventurous lady who’ll climb to the top of the curtains as long as you’re around to bring her back down again! 🪜 She’s a true foodie 🍖, just like her siblings, and will always race to get her bowl of food or any yummy treats that are on offer. 🍽️

While she loves the company of other cats 🐾, she’s also perfectly content as a solo kitty. 🐈 She is always on the go, eager to investigate every nook and cranny. 🔍 She’s a little explorer with a big heart. 💖 Despite her playful nature, she can sometimes be shy around new people and loud noises, so patience and time for her to get comfortable is a must. ⏳ Whether you’re reading a book 📚, watching TV 📺, or simply relaxing, Beau is always there to keep you company. 🛋️

Beau is comfortable around children 👶 and dogs 🐶, making her a great addition to a family-friendly home. 🏡 Don’t miss out on this paw-some opportunity to make this lovely lady part of your family! 🌟

Meet Bear – The Fluffy Food Lover!! 🐾🐱

Bear is a beautiful 3-month-old laid-back kitten with a very big appetite. 🍖 He’s a fast eater, always on the lookout for his next meal. 🍽️ He’s also a curious explorer who loves to watch his siblings play, but he’s content to relax and take it easy. 🌟

Despite his love for food, Bear is a gentle soul who gets along well with children 👶 and dogs 🐶. He has a playful side, especially if snacks are on the go! 🍪 He’s an incredibly calm and collected fellow with his beautiful fluffy ebony fur 🖤 and big bright eyes. 👀

He can be a bit shy around strangers and loud noises, but with time and patience, he’ll warm up to you and his forever home. 🏡 Bear is an indoor cat; he’ll tell you it’s because he loves his siblings and humans, but let’s be honest, it’s probably the endless supply of treats and cuddles that keep him indoors! 🛋️🐾

Bear is a paw-some furball waiting for his forever home. ❤️ He’ll steal your heart……and your food! 🍗

📣 Groomer Needed in Dublin 6 Area! 🐾

We know it’s a big ask, especially at this busy time of year when most groomers are fully booked, but we’re reaching out for help with Panda, a 3-year-old Spitz who recently came into our care after being surrendered. Panda is currently in foster care and could do with a little pampering to help him feel a little more comfortable during this difficult transition. 🛁✨

If you’re a groomer in the Dublin 6 area or know someone who might have a little time to spare for Panda, we’d be so grateful! Your support could be just the thing he needs to start feeling more at ease. 💕

Thank you for always supporting rescue dogs like Panda! 🐶❤️

Please get in touch with our Team via Email: dogteam@cdpa.ie

Welcome to Ebony’s Toy Mouse Showdown! 🐭

And here we go, folks—Ebony’s taking her first cautious steps into the arena. She’s letting her siblings check out the food bowl first (patience is key), strategizing her next move like a pro. Slow and steady, that’s her game plan. 🐈‍⬛

The Toy Mouse Challenge is ON! Ebony spots her first target, locks eyes, and—BOOM! A perfect pounce! She’s got it, folks, she’s got it! 🏆

Strutting around with her “catch” like the champ she is, she’s not done yet—another mouse appears! She’s quick, focused, and it’s another win for Team Ebony. 🎯

Alright, folks—Round Two! But before we start, let’s set up Ebony’s food bowl in its own corner; she’s a slow eater but a fast hunter, and needs room to work her magic. ✨

Second round’s going to be a tough one. She’s going to need a new team member to help secure her victory. Have you got an Ivory (kitty-friend) for Ebony who’s willing to join her team? Ebony is bold and ready—cats, dogs, and even kids are all welcome to join in on her quest for victory! 🌟

With the perfect partner, Ebony is unstoppable! So, are you ready to team up? 🖤🐾

Sometimes trapping, as part of trap-neuter-return,

Sometimes trapping, as part of trap-neuter-return, is discreet. Cats' hidden shelters remain unseen to protect their safe spaces, so they can eat or hide in peace.

Managed colonies are nurtured by kind volunteers who go out of their way to feed the cats everyday without fail. They alert us to any new comers that need spay/neutering and vet care, which incudes parasite treatment.

We are truly grateful for any and all donations that go directly towards their vet care.

Meet Scout and Winnie! 💅🏼 These two are look

Meet Scout and Winnie! 💅🏼 These two are looking for a worthy playmate. Are you up to the challenge?

Scout is as curious as her name. She always wants company, and spreads her love between the little humans and the adults in her foster family. She’s known to find her way into small spaces; recently, she has been determinedly scouting the bin cupboard. She’s eager to investigate the nooks and crannies in your home, too! 🧐

Anything that dangles, rattles, or rolls should watch out when they see Scout coming! And so should anyone unlucky enough to find themselves at the end of her tunnel. She will jump out and pounce! But once you let her curl up with you and give her some rubs, she’ll get right down to purring.

While Winnie is a bit more introverted, she is just as inquisitive. This little detective even has the perfect moustache to match. She’s cautious of loud noise and activity, but she loves to station herself nearby and observe as you go about your business. If you are patient, you’ll be inducted to the inner circle—she’ll let you give her chin rubs (her favourite). 😻

Like her roomie, there’s nothing Winnie loves more than playing. She is an up-and-coming gymnast—she leaps and backflips when playing with her dangling toys, and those white mittens are so quick you’ll miss them if you blink. 🤗

Because she likes to take her time warming up to people, Winnie will be happiest if a kind new owner adopts both her and her best friend! Whether it’s curled up on the couch or wrestling in the play tunnel, Scout and Winnie are better together. You’ll be better, too, with these girls in your family! Apply to adopt today!
