CAT Owners Beware

Cat owners in Creggan Caw & Nelson Drive areas beware. In recent weeks we have received a lot of calls from concerned cat owners in the Creggan Caw & Nelson Drive areas. Many cats have gone missing and we fear they may have been trapped and used as bait for cruel bloodsports with lucrher dogs. We urge cat owners in these areas to keep your cats indoors. If you have any information or see any suspicous activity please get in touch with the Rainbow Rehoming Centre and we can alert the PSNI. Tel: 028 71812882

THANK YOU FOR HELPING TO FIND BENJI

Benji the terrier was eventually tracked down and found in Talbot Park 2 weeks ago. His owner would like to say a very big thank you to everyone who helped and got in touch. He is doing great, spolit as you can imagine. This is a lesson to all to check your leads and make sure they are strong enough and not damaged.

Update on Brianna the Greyhound

Special Appeal - ♥RUDY♥

"Rudy" is a male Japanese Akita approx 3/ years old. He is a big teddy bear who enjoys to play with toys and loves to go for walks. He is a very large dog and is strong so he will need an owner who has experience of large dogs and preferably this breed.

Special Appeal - ♥ROXY♥

"Roxy" is a female Japanese Akita aged between 3+4 years old. She like many female akitas was overbred in her last home and she is gradually putting on weight at the centre. She has a good temperament and enjoys walks. She would be best suited to a home where she will be the only pet. Potential new owner must have experience with large breeds.

Could you give a feral cat a home?

We have some long term feral cats at the centre who are looking for a home. Do you have outdoor space and a shed/barn to offer a home to one or two of these cats? If you could offer a warm bed and kindness to one of our long termers - get in touch. Ideally experiences cat owners.

Importance of vaccinating your pet

It is extremely important to get your cat or dog vaccinated. It is also very important to keep them up to date.

There is a large number of dogs that running the streets unvaccinated that carry and contract parvo-virus and once they have it very few of them survive.
