Westmeath Society For Prevention Of Cruelty To Animals, a charity, registered charity number 20031619, CHY 11491. Westmeath SPCA has been in existence for over 65 years, covering all Westmeath and based in Mullingar.

We answer all calls for help with any animal / bird cases, domesticated and wild.

6. Assist in Trapping, Neutering and Returning Feral cats.

Spaying and neutering cats is incredibly important as a cat’s pregnancy is usually around nine weeks and in a cat’s first 18 months it can have around 12 kittens. Younger and older cats have fewer kittens but a healthy three, four or five year old cat may have four or five kittens each time so can easily have 18 to 20 kittens in a year. Your donation will help manage the number of new cats being born or care for some vulnerable animal in need.

We get a large number of cases of starving equines and wildlife in distress especially in the winter months and so fund raising is vitally important for us.

Charitable objectives : Prevention or relief of suffering of animals. To promote and provide for animal welfare.
