Mayo Cat Rescue is a non-profit, tax exempt corporation staffed entirely by volunteers and foster homes. Unfortunately, we do not have a shelter due to lack of funds.

MCR was founded to assist in achieving the goal of eliminating homeless cats in County Mayo.

At any given time, Mayo Cat Rescue can be feeding 15 to 20 rescued cats. The cost of this can be huge as most of you will appreciate. One way of helping us to meet this cost is by donating catfood. Tins of Whiskas, KiteKat, Katkins and Choosey as well as boxes or bags of Whiskas, Go-Cat, Brekkies and Omega all go down a treat with the cats!

We are also very grateful to receive Dunnes Stores Value Club Card vouchers which we use to pay for the catfood every week.

What goes in must come out so we are also happy to receive bags of cat litter! Cat carriers are something we never seem to have enough of either.

Our newsletter produced every Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter is sent to hundreds of people and the cost of postage for this is huge. So if you would like to donate 30p stamps, we would be very grateful. If you would like to receive a copy of our newletter every quarter, please send 4 medium sized self addressed stamped envelopes to the address below.

Most of all we need money to pay our Vets bills which are huge.

The Mayo Cat Rescue Bank Account No is 19917184 (sort code 93 70 88), Allied Irish Bank, Main Street, Castlebar, Co Mayo, Ireland. We would be very grateful if you would instruct your Bank to set up a Standing Order for whatever you can afford every month using the above Banking details.

Or send a cheque, bank draft, postal order or money order in Irish pounds made payable to Mayo Cat Rescue to the following address: 19, St Marys Crescent, Westport, Co Mayo, Ireland.

We also desperately need Volunteers to help us with our workload.
