POISONED CATS

ALERT for CAT OWNERS in the BISHOP STREET / FOYLE ROAD AREA, derry. In the last 10 days a Lady has lost 3 of her beloved cats. All 3 of them were poisioned and died as a result. The vet is unsure as to what type of poison it was. One of her other cats has been missing since Thursday evening and she is distraught that it has also been poisioned but has not made its way home like the other 3 did. The missing cat is large, grey and white so people in the area please keep an eye out for it.
Also can people in these areas please be vigilant. If you have lost a cat recently in this area please let us know. We are not sure if this has been intentional or accidental poisioning. Someone may have put something in their garden that t...he cats have ingested or possibly anti-freeze has spilled somewhere or someone has done this on purpose which we really hope not. If anyone has any info at all please get in touch and please inform other cat owners in this area.

Due to the significant increase in animal cruelty and neglect cases in the North West and surrounding areas and with a lack of USPCA presence in the North West, members of the public have been increasingly turning to the Rainbow Centre with concerns for animals. In a response to this we have launched a Cruelty Awareness Helpline


Puppy Farms & Back Yard Breeders In recent months the Rainbow Rehoming Centre has been carrying out many visits to areas throughout the northwest with regards to complaints of cruelty/neglect of animals.: READ MORE
