APHRODITE 💗

This little lady was brought into our care in February by a member of the public who had found her straying with an injured front leg.

Unfortunately, due to the extent of her injury, our veterinary team had to make the decision to amputate the leg as she sadly couldn’t move it. She is still adjusting to life after her amputation, but nothing holds her back!

Aphrodite is a sweet natured cat, who loves people and could easily charm her way into anyone's heart!🥰 She is always the first to greet our staff and volunteers at the door, purring for attention.

This curious girl is very outgoing and loves to explore her surroundings, and we truly believe she will be a lovely addition to the right family!💕

During her vet assessment and health check, it was found that Aphrodite has a heart murmur. As a result of this and her amputation, this pretty kitty is looking to find herself an extra special home as she would be best suited as an indoor-only cat.

Aphrodite would prefer to live with children over the age of 12 years old who are used to cats. Due to being a stray, it is unknown how she would react around other cats or dogs in the house.

If you can give Aphrodite the loving home she is waiting for, fill out an application form 👉 buff.ly/yAoJ0vd

RUSTY 🐶

We can’t believe this gorgeous boy has still not been adopted!

Rusty is a very sweet dog who has a fun, loving personality and will make a lovely companion as he has so much love to give and thrives on being in the company of people. He is bursting with energy and loves to go for walks.❤️

This little guy can be a little nervous meeting new people, but we are confident that if given the time and patience, he will settle well into his new home.

Rusty’s new owners will need to be ready to dedicate training time with him, as he will need all aspects of puppy training and socialising. He would also require a family who would be at home quite often, especially as he settles in and adjusts to his new environment.

If you can give this lovely boy the happy home he is waiting for, fill out an application form 👉 www.uspca.co.uk/rusty

Here to make your Good Friday GREAT with this lovely happy at home update!💗

You may remember this sweet boy from an owner appeal we did a few weeks ago, after he was found straying. Unfortunately, no one came forward for this little guy, but we are happy to share that we found him a brilliant home and his new owner Sinead let us know he is getting on so well!🥰

“Baymax is getting on so well. His character is coming out so much, he is so sweet, loves the cuddles. You can always find him sunbathing on the windowsill or kitchen if not I'm fighting with him to stay off my work laptop lol!
He’s also getting on so well with my other two boys Nuke the dog and Arnie the other cat after a slow induction. “

Thank you for choosing to and giving Baymax the second chance he was waiting for!

Recognise These Ducks?

On 15th April, we were alerted to four ducks found wandering between gardens and nearby fields along Derryboy Road, Killinchy (BT23 6TP). Our volunteer, Rosslyn, attended and successfully gathered them up as they had scattered into surrounding fields.

They are Muscovy ducks, a domestic breed, which raises concern that they may have escaped from a nearby home. There is also a possibility that they were abandoned.

Sadly, one of the ducks did not make it as it was found to have a large and infected wound under its wing.

The remaining three are now safe and settling in well at our Newry centre.

If you believe these ducks may be yours or know someone in the area who keeps Muscovy ducks, please get in touch. We’d love to reunite them with their rightful home!

Please share locally as it could help us find answers!

From hurt to healed - this pigeon is true reminder of the power of care and compassion!💙

On the 24th March, our wildlife volunteers Maria and Mark responded to a call about a pigeon that had been badly attacked, near St. Anne’s Cathedral in Belfast City Centre.

Thanks to the swift action of our volunteers and the concerned member of the public, the pigeon was rescued and given the care she desperately needed.

No one was sure this little one would survive due to the extent of her injuries, which included puncture wounds and multiple scratches on her back and the right side of her body. But against all odds, this little warrior is recovering amazingly and will be ready for release very soon – look at that transformation!

Every animal deserves kindness, and our incredible team of wildlife staff and volunteers work tirelessly across NI, showing compassion and care to every animal that needs their help.

If you spot injured wildlife that you believe needs help, please contact the USPCA on 028 3025 1000 to get advice from our wildlife team.🐾

Time for a hoppy update! 🐰💙

You might remember the story of the two domestic rabbits abandoned between Coleraine and Ballymoney. They were left in a plastic container and found hiding in thick undergrowth. It took Wildlife Volunteers Annie and Ian 24 hours of patient work to safely secure the pair and bring them in for care.

Well, we have great news to share… Ian has officially adopted both bunnies! 🥹💛 Now named Oreo and Bramble, they’re settling into their new home and being showered with the love and security they deserve.

It’s stories like these that remind us why rescue matters. Domestic animals like rabbits are entirely dependent on us. When they’re abandoned, the outcome can be tragic. But thanks to the generous public support that keeps our wildlife rescue service running, Oreo and Bramble got their second chance.

13/04/2025

The Pets Foundation Easter appeal is now live. Help raise vitals funds for the USPCA to continue to help animals in need across Northern Ireland by donating in Pets at Home Newry before Easter Monday.

Happy at Home!💗

Frida (now named Luna) was adopted from our centre a couple of weeks ago and we got the loveliest update from her new owner Kate.

“Luna is a beautiful cat, so well behaved and gentle. She is more comfortable sitting in the living room with us and not hiding as much as she did in the beginning. She is a great addition to our home!”

This is not the first rescue cat Kate has adopted from the USPCA, do you remember our social media star Rodney? Kate let us know that Rodney was very excited to be Luna’s friend and that is he has been very patient as she settles - it looks like they love to watch the world go by together!🥰

“She and Rodney are getting along nicely. At first, she was a bit shy and nervous but she's starting to show more of her lovely personality. She's been very sweet with us, and with Rodney she's recently started playing hide and seek and chasing games. They've even been relaxing beside each other.”

Thank you for giving Luna and Rodney the loving home they both deserve, we hope they have many happy memories together!❤️

Floofballs on the move! Take caution and let them get to where they need to be!

It might surprise you, but it’s completely natural for ducks to nest far from water. Sometimes even in residential areas or near roads. Once hatched, mum leads her brood on the long journey back to water. 🦆

While it can be tempting to step in, human intervention can sometimes do more harm than good by causing the mother to flee and the ducklings to then scatter.

🚨 If you spot a family of ducks on the move, keep a safe distance and let nature take its course. Only intervene if there’s a clear danger. If the mother isn’t in sight or the ducklings are in immediate danger, call our Wildlife Team on 028 3025 1000. For roadside sightings, contact the PSNI on 101 to make them aware of possible disruption.

GUAPO ❤️ (REHOMED)

Guapo was admitted into our care as a stray cat who was found badly matted. He was named Guapo by our animal care team, which translates to handsome in Spanish, and we believe he lives up to the name – don’t you agree?🥰

This sweet boy has quickly become a favourite of our animal care team, being described as a gentleman, who is very affectionate and loves people! Guapo loves to climb onto your lap for a cuddle and enjoys getting little head rubs.☺️

Due to the heavy matting of his coat, Guapo had to be shaved on admission by our veterinary team and, during his health check, it was found that he has a grade 4 heart murmur.

As a result of his heart murmur, Guapo would love to find himself a special home where he could be an indoor-only cat and spend his days cuddling with his favourite people on the sofa or watching the world go by in a cosy spot by a window.

Due to being a stray, it is unknown how he would react to other pets in the home. He would love to find a quiet, more settled home with children over the age of 12 years old who have a sensible approach to handling cats.

🚨 Missing Cats in Cookstown 🚨

The three cats pictured belong to Louise. Just one of many heartbroken owners affected by the recent reports of 16 missing cats in the Westbury area in Cookstown.

We are deeply concerned by the reports and the targeting and potential harm of family pets is both distressing and unacceptable. Intentional cruelty to animals is a criminal offence, and stronger penalties are needed to reflect the seriousness of such acts.

We urge the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the PSNI by phoning 101. No animal should suffer, and no pet owner should have to live in fear for their pet’s safety.

In light of these incidents, we also strongly encourage all cat owners to ensure their pets are both microchipped and neutered. Microchipping significantly increases the chances of being reunited with a lost or stolen pet and provides vital proof of ownership in cases of theft or harm. Neutering not only helps control the stray population, but also reduces roaming behaviour in cats, making them less likely to wander far from home and face potential danger.

⚠️ Distressing Imagery

This poor starling didn’t make it - and sadly, it's not hard to see why.

Our dedicated Wildlife Volunteer, Ian, recently responded to a report of a starling found covered in an unknown substance, suspected to be insulation foam filler. Despite Ian’s best efforts - carefully cleaning the bird, freeing its legs, beak, and eyes, and it being administered antibiotics and pain relief - the starling succumbed as the damage was already too severe.

We can only speculate as to how this starling came to be covered in insulation foam. It could have been accidental, though unfortunately it also serves a dark reminder that some individuals intentionally obstruct and destroy active nests that are perceived to be inconvenient.

Under the Wildlife (NI) Order 1985, all wild birds, their nests, and eggs are protected during nesting season. It is illegal to disturb or destroy an active nest, or obstruct a wild bird from using their nest.

If you witness illegal nest disturbance or destruction, please report to the PSNI on 101 and reach out to the USPCA to report injured wildlife on 028 3025 1000.
