Gaetane
This website
would never have seen the light of day if it were not for French
woman Gaetane Rauch. Gaetane came over from France a few years
ago and worked with us in the sanctuary. As a web designer she
offered to put a new web site together for us and so www.galway-spca
was born. Gaetane designed and updated it while she lived in Ireland
and continued to do so when she returned to Rennes.
As her work
load has increased she was finding it harder to get the time to
keep us going so and as luck would have it Adrienne came into
our live's and surprise surprise she too was a web mistress .
So she worked with Gaetane and has now taken over the web for
us.
'Marii'
'Marii' as
she is known on bebo, is a moderator for the Galway-spca group,

Well done to Marii. Meet you all there!!
Adrienne has
been taking care of things online since June '07, and is also
the proud pet parent to Reggie, a Heathlawn terrier, and Bonnie,
a holy terror.
And no, that's not Midge Ure on the right, that's her lovely husband,
Eamon!

Phoebe's
Story
This
is Phoebe who sadly lost her kits in the early stage of her pregnancy.
As you can see from these pictures the sadness in her eyes tells
the whole story of her loss. She was looking for her kittens and
calling them today. And when she wasn't able to find them she spotted
Sandy and "adopted" her immediately. Look at them in those
pictures - beautiful photos but when you know what's behind them,
they make us cry knowing how she feels and we can do nothing but
love her.
We think all of
our animals are lovely, but some don't arrive in such good condition.
Here are some photographs showing how we've helped restore dignity to
those that needed our love and attention, so that they can be adopted
and live long and happy lives.
