Community Cats Network
Description
Community Cats Network is a Cork-based charity (CHY 20727) promoting the welfare of stray/feral cats and the benefits of TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return). Our primary activity is TNR as we believe that it is the only humane solution to control the cat population. Our primary consideration is the welfare of feral and stray cats. We believe that unless there is an obvious danger to the welfare of the cat, ferals should remain in their environment.
Community Cats Network endeavours to work closely with communities in promoting the importance of neutering for feral cats and their role in the community, as well as in the organisation of TNR projects. We thus offer support and advice on the various aspects of living with community cats. We also provide our services in all stages of the organisation and the carrying out of TNR projects.
We believe that everyone should take responsibility for stray and feral cats/kittens. As we are not a rescue, we cannot take them in; however, we offer support to the public and help them to solve their problem.

Private Rehoming 2017
This album aims at providing a platform for people to rehome cats privately. Please, note that these cats are not in Community Cats Network’s care, we cannot therefore be involved, nor held responsible should any problems arise. Unless stated otherwise, Community Cats will not answer emails relating to the cats below. Thanks for your understanding! We will only advertise cats/kittens that are neutered – as this is the only way to control cat overpopulation-, microchipped (or eartipped for outdoor cats) and treated for parasites. We will be glad to help you to carry out these procedures if it’s not already done; just send us an email for more information. Ads will not be posted until that information has been verified. We also highly recommend that cats should be vaccinated prior to rehoming. We require that you ask for a contribution in order to make the adopter responsible and strongly advise that you carry a home-check. To increase your chance of rehoming, advertise on other websites and via posters in local shops. Rehoming Cork Pets have a dedicated page on Facebook and offer free homechecks. In order to have an ad posted, please fill in the relevant form on our website (https://communitycatsnetwork.wordpress.com/adoption/private-rehoming/) and email a photo to communitycatsnetwork@gmail.com. Please, help us to keep this album up to date by letting us know when the cat has found a home. Note that ads posted on our wall without following this procedure will be removed.

Pointless Trapping in Killeagh; July 2016
Last summer, we were contacted by a lady who wanted a few ferals she was feeding to be neutered. She could barely afford to get these five neutered and was dreading they would start having kittens very soon. I went over, set up the trap. It took a little while to get all 5 of them, but I finally left with all 5 in my boot. The following day, I dropped them at the vet and soon after the phone rang: They had just spent a bit of time looking for the reproductive organs of one of the females, but nothing! The male they were currently neutering was either chryptorchid (retained testicles) or already neutered. And so it went, every single one of the cats had already been neutered! Although we applaud the fact that there was a kind person spending time to trap those cats and have them neutered before us, we cannot stress enough the importance of eartipping. It is a standard practice used to mark the neutering status of a cat and is a must when dealing with feral cats as they can thus be visually identified without having to be trapped (friendly cats can be microchipped or tatooed as a mark of identification instead). If these cats had been eartipped, it would have saved them the stress of being trapped again, of being confined for 48 hours, of being sedated unneccessarily and , for some, of going through a 2nd surgery. It would also have saved us and the vets a lot of time, not counting the cost of it, money that could have been used to help other cats. Em
