At Cats Protection we’re here for every cat. At the forefront of research on cat welfare, we use our decades of experience to support cat owners to keep their pets happy, healthy and safe. From creating a cat-friendly home, to understanding their behaviour, to fostering cats for anyone fleeing domestic abuse. We know that, for many people, their cat is part of the family. So our trained volunteer listeners are here to support anyone who’s dealing with the heartbreak of their cat’s death, a cat who has gone missing or difficult issues like euthanasia. We also offer cat owners peace of mind that, if they should pass away themselves, we’ll look after their cat and find them a loving new home. Helping people understand their cats better means we can often avoid the need for owners to give up their pets. But when rehoming is the right thing to do, we look after cats with care and kindness, and help them find a loving new place to stay. We campaign to make sure cats are not forgotten by decision makers, speaking out on issues like kitten smuggling and cat theft. And we run the world’s largest single-species neutering programme, for both pets and feral cats, to support a healthy and balanced cat population. Whatever it takes, we’re here for cats and the people who care for them. Making a better life for cats, because life is better with cats.

Ireland's largest Dog Welfare Charity, working towards the day that every dog can live the full and happy life they deserve. This is achieved by campaigns such as education, microchipping and neutering as well as promoting rehoming as the best form of dog ownership. Registered Charity Number 20057978

BUMBLEance is the difference that transforms a sick child’s journey. We exist to empower the hundreds of families unable to access their child’s healthcare by providing nationwide journeys in a safe, caring and fun environment, completely free of charge. The difference we create is that we turn miles into smiles, allowing sick children to be children. BUMBLEance provides lifechanging journeys, allowing access to lifesaving care for hundreds of children each year. Last year, we looked after the journey and allowed parents to take a back seat over 2,300 times. Our specially-designed interiors that offer entertainment, activities, environmental support and emotional comfort, enabled us to transform over half a million kilometres of journeys, reaching every county in Ireland. At BUMBLEance, our heroes wear seatbelts – not capes. Our dedicated drivers operate a fleet stationed across the country, ensuring personalised, localised support to each family that travels with us. Each vehicle offers a break from the outside world with sensory lighting, child-friendly decor, entertainment and seats for parents and siblings. By offering these door-to-door journeys free of charge, we reduce the worry and anxiety parents carry. With BUMBLEance, we support the whole family and take away the worries of parking, tolls and comfort, letting parents focus on what they do best: care for their child. Children deserve the best, and there is no better than BUMBLEance.
