However, they usually have a number of cats and kittens looking for good homes as a result of their work. All cats are neutered prior to rehoming (Community Cats Network uses vets that practice early neutering). Home checks apply and adoption donation required.

Based in Kilmichael. Cork Animal Care Society does their best to take in any animal in need, regardless of origin breed or health. All are vaccinated, flea treated and wormed, and given any other required treatment, before being rehomed.
