Lost & Lucky
The Springer Spaniel mix that was found in Roscam on 12th July has been re-united after the owners saw the dog's picture on the Galway-spca website. Both dog and owners were very, very happy to see each other again after 2 months apart!!! The dog was from Kilchreest (22 miles away). Thanks to Eoin for all his efforts in making this a very happy ending.
Contact us if you have lost or found a pet and we will include the details on our site.

How could they???
Meet 3 lucky kittens John, Tommy and Ann

On Tuesday morning (8th july) a tote bag full of clothes was left at our shop door. When the staff arrived at 10am it was put in the sorting area for sorting later. When eventually the bag was opened a few hours later and the top half of the clothes taken out, 3 kittens shot out of the bag nearly giving the sorter a heart attack. How sad in this day in age that someone would stick 3 little kittens in the middle of a bag and dump it at the door. These kittens are lucky that no one stole the bag, or a wandering dog did not smell them and attack the bag. How stupid and thoughtless and downright criminal for someone to do this. We had to close the sorting area for the day to try and catch 3 very frightened kittens but they are safe now no thanks to the idiot who did this shame on you who ever you are

Urgent need list
1. We need two foster homes for about a month for 2 adult cats who need time with an adult.

2. We urgently need men's clothes in good quality.

3. Unwanted presents, good bric a brac please no broken stuff.

4. A van Friday or Saturday or even Monday who could bring stuff to the sanctuary for us.

Finally because of the amount of rubbish that is coming in, all bags WILL be checked. Please do not be offended but it costs US money to get rid of YOUR rubbish, money we can spend on the animals.

Finally as we are full we cannot take kittens and puppies at the moment, please work with us and we will help you as we get places.

We Are Looking For A Special Home For Abby

Abby is very loving and loves laps and most of all, doesn't know she is blind so accept her as she will accept you. We would love a home for her with an adult who is around most of the time and would love her company.

Can you be the angel that can grant her this wish?

Please phone: 091 563631

Special Appeal For Hetty

Hetty is a very special girl and she is looking for a very special person. She is shy but as you can see from her photo and her video, she is full of the joys of spring.

Can you help her to find a home? Phone: 09096 76397

Then print out her poster and spread the word about this terrific little terrier.

For that special GIFT why not this SPECIAL CD


The GSPCA wish to say a big thank you to Shay Leon for donating a hundred of
these special CDS called 'SEAN AGUS NUA EAGSULACHT' for our building fund.
The CD is very special as it represents all the different styles of music now heard around Galway.
You can get a preview and more info about the CD at www.seanagusnua.com.

From Irish to South African to Jamaican. Having heard it, I can say it is a beautiful CD and a must for any collector.

You can buy the CD at our shop on St Augustine St. for €10. So it is a purrfect gift for your loved one.

Shay's Studio started about 6 years ago as a one room project studio. Today it takes a full house with 2 live rooms, control room, and a grand piano. The studio records all genres from traditional music to metal."
For more information look up www.shaysstudio.ie

Our pictures show Kalie showing off the CD, and committee member Daniela Zervanova, Shay Leon, volunteer Aoife Scully with cats Kali, Raftery (who is blind) and Hadley.

Jackie Hayden, Hot Press, 16 June, 2007 - Review Sean Agus Nua
There's probably no mention of masturbation on the 16-track compilation Sean Agus Nua, celebrating the musical variety available these days in Galway. The excellent Lonneke Godjin joins with accordionist Steve MacSuibhne for "Ach Vaderlief", a cute Dutch folksy tune, "Cher Che Moi" by Baslowa is a gripping sample of Congolese Rhumba, and "Bazaar Rumours" by Alale is a mongrelisation of Spanish, Irish, Indian and Greek folk styles. An intriguing collection that also contains contributions from Hungarian, Ukranian and Filipino acts, this is a more compelling mix of music from many nations than that bloody Eurovision.

FAREWELL DEAR FRIEND


Monty ...read A Tribute to Monty on In Loving Memory.

We featured Monty’s (Paddy) story in ‘my GSPCA pal’ and it is with deep sadness we tell you our boy Monty has walked over ‘rainbow end’. Sadly and in spite of all Viv and her vet could do Monty’s cancer was fatal. He was a wonderful little man and taught us all a lot in how we should deal with both 2 and 4 legged who are that little bit different. I had the pleasure over the years of meeting up with Monty and Viv on their trips west and saw the difference Viv made to Monty’s life and how much Monty with love and understanding and patience from Viv had come on. We in the GSPCA are so grateful to Viv for giving Monty a great life and a happy life. Monty has been all over the place from Clifden to Belfast to Wexford and indeed one of his last outings was to a protest on ‘Save Tara’ and where he and Viv formed part of the harp. Viv we know how you are feeling and are so happy that Mont got to spend his last wonderful years with you, you were and are his guardian Angel sent to save our little man. We have great memories of him and his wonderful little quirks that made him so special. We know he is with our motley crew and that they are all healthy and having a ball in heaven and are now our special angels.
