What's On Animalwise

Get your dogs 'chipped' by council

DOG owners are being invited to have their pets chipped for free as part of an ongoing Rhondda Cynon Taf Council canine scheme.
The council's animal shelter in Dinas will micro-chip your dog on Saturday mornings as part of the initiative to encourage more pet owners to abide by the law, which states all dogs must wear a collar and identification by law.
Micro-chipping is a further step forward to ensuring the identification of an animal is discovered quickly should they go missing.
The project, led by the council's Streetcare team, is designed to further crackdown on the issue of dog fouling which pervades certain communities more than others.
For further details call 01443 682789 or 01685 876831.

Animal rescue

We are here mostly for small animals such as rabbits, guinei pigs, rodents etc but will occasionly take in cats depending on the space we have available, I do work closley with other cat rescue charities so I could always put people forward to them, if I do not have the available space at the time.

We are a non profit making rescue so donation from charities are always welcome, donations could be rabbit food, rodent food such as hamster, rat, gerbil food, guniea pig food, vegetables, bedding material such as shavings, shredded paper, any unwanted hutches, runs ect. Anything is welcome, that will help the rescues.

I am also always looking for foster homes short or long term, volunteer drivers to take the rescues to their new homes or pick them up from their unwanted homes and home checkers are always needed.

Our contact address is lastchancerabbitrescue@hotmail.co.uk

our contact number is 01443 472877 between 9am and 5pm unless emergency.

Golden Lion Animal Rescue
Tel 01685 810276

Golden Lion Animal Rescue is a small, independent rescue in Cynon Valley that tries to help any animal, anywhere. One of the major problems for this and any other rescue is the immense volume of unwanted and stray cats. Every day the Rescue gets at least one call asking it to take in a cat. Of course, this is an impossibility otherwise the rescue would be totally overwhelmed. Not enough people offer homes to adult cats to enable it to bring in all the other unwanted ones.

Please help by:
* Getting any cat in your care spayed or castrated to limit the number of kittens being born. Vouchers to assist with cost can be obtained by telephoning Golden Lion Rescue. IT IS NOT TRUE THAT A CAT SHOULD HAVE ONE LITTER BEFORE BEING SPAYED. The first time a cat is aware of motherhood is when the kittens are born. It does not miss anything by not having a litter.

* Please consider trying to look after any stray or inherited cat that comes to you. The Rescue can help you in many ways but it cannot take in every unwanted cat.

* Consider giving a home to an adult cat rather than a kitten. All adult cats in the Rescue will have been spayed or castrated, also wormed and deflead before rehoming.

* If you are aware of a problem developing in your area with stray cats / kittens, please contact the Rescue immediately so that trapping and neutering can start as soon as possible. A female cat can become pregnant again as soon as the kittens are weaned (and the kittens themselves are sexually active at 5 - 6 months) It is vital to prevent a population explosion.

* If you are able to donate anything to the Rescue - dog or cat food, bedding, etc - it will be most gratefully received.

Kennels and rescues everywhere are full to bursting point with unwanted dogs and puppies.
One Welsh local authority pound worker said to me this weekend, the middle of January,
" Please come and move some of these dogs to Rescues. We don't have enough kennel space for all the dogs coming in. There are far more coming in than are being claimed or rescue. "
It is vital to prevent more puppies adding to this problem and coming into this world to an uncertain future. Spay or castrate - that's the responsible thing to do. If you find the cost prohibitive, contact Golden Lion Animal Rescue on 01685 810276 for assistance through Dogs Trust.
