🐾💔 MINNIE IS STILL WAITING - FOSTER HOME NEEDED 💔🐾

Minnie has now been waiting in kennels for a whole month, and it’s becoming harder and harder for her. 😔

She is such a social, friendly girl, and kennel life is really taking its toll on her. Minnie loves being around people and desperately needs the comfort, company and freedom that a foster home can offer. 🏡❤️

🐶 Minnie is:
✨ 1 year old
✨ Small Collie type
✨ Spayed
✨ Active & lively
✨ Friendly and very social

She has so much life and love to give. She shouldn’t have to spend her days waiting behind kennel doors. 💔

Could you be the person who gives Minnie a chance? Even fostering her could completely change her world while she waits for her forever home. 🐾❤️

🙏 Please LIKE, COMMENT & SHARE - especially if you know someone in Kerry / Cork who might be able to foster.

If you can help Minnie, please sign up here: https://www.klaws.ie/contact-us

Let’s get Minnie out of the kennels and back where she belongs, with people. ❤️🐶

🐾 Meet Lucy - looking for a foster (and hopefully forever) home! 🐾

Lucy is an adorable 8-month-old sheep farm dog who is looking for a new chapter in life. Her current humans gradually realised that Lucy is deaf, which means she isn’t really suited to working on the farm.

But Lucy has so much to offer as a pet! ❤️ She is lovely, good-natured and very friendly. She gets along well with other dogs and is good with children. She is house-trained, chipped and vaccinated.

🐱 One thing to know: Lucy does chase cats, so a cat-free home would probably be best.

👀 And she’s quite the looker! Lucy has heterochromia, with one blue eye and one brown eye. 💙🤎

Maybe there’s someone out there who would love to take on this special girl and teach her to communicate using hand signs? 🥰

We’re looking for a foster home, with the hope of finding Lucy her forever home - or, why not both? ❤️

Interested in giving Lucy a chance? Please contact us here:

🐾 HAPPY TAILS FROM OUR ADOPTERS - DANIEL, ROBBIE & JAKE 🐾

Sometimes all it takes is one photo to steal your heart. ❤️

Robbie and Jake joined their family at different times - Robbie in January 2024 and Jake in July 2025 - but both of their stories began in exactly the same place.

📱 The KLAWS Instagram page.

Their family had always known that once they had a home of their own, they wanted to adopt. Then Robbie’s face appeared on their screen… and later, Jake’s.

💬 “When we saw their faces on the KLAWS Instagram page we just couldn’t resist!”

Today, Robbie and Jake have everything they could ask for - a loving home, plenty of cuddles, playtime and walks, and most importantly, each other. 🐾

One of the loveliest parts for their family has been watching the two boys happy and playing together, knowing they were able to give them both a home.

And we’re lucky enough to still get little glimpses into their lives too, as their family often shares their adventures with us. Seeing our former KLAWS dogs loved and enjoying their lives never gets old. ❤️

Their adopter’s advice to anyone considering giving a rescue animal a home is simple:

💬 “If you have the ability to, I definitely would. It’s well worth it.”

From two faces on an Instagram post to two very loved members of the same family - now that’s a Happy Tail. 🥰🐾

For now, Robbie and Jake’s story brings this little collection of Happy Tails from Our Adopters to a close, but we hope to bring you more wonderful stories from our adopters again soon. 🐾❤️

🐾💕 Meet Floofles & Snuffles – Two Little BFFs Looking for Their Forever Home! 💕🐾

Floofles and Snuffles are sweetness and charm personified, and the only thing missing from their lives is a loving forever home. 🥰

🖤 Floofles is overflowing with cuteness and affection. She’s an incredibly cuddly girl, although she can be a little timid and modest at times. She’s especially attached to her bestie, Snuffles, and may even let out a little cry when she can’t see her. But the moment Snuffles appears, that little frown turns upside down! 😻

🤍 Snuffles, meanwhile, is Floofles’ complete opposite - playful, confident and wonderfully outgoing! Together, they’re the perfect Yin and Yang. They complement each other beautifully, and seeing these two bonded kittens together makes it hard to imagine them ever being apart. 💕

That’s why we’d absolutely love to see Floofles and Snuffles adopted together. A well-bonded pair of kittens can bring so much fun, love and joy into your life - and these two fabulous feline BFFs have plenty of both to give! 🐾❤️

🏡 Could you be the forever family they’ve been waiting for?

If you’d like to welcome Floofles and Snuffles into your heart and home, please get in touch with us via the adoption form below:

He’s generally non-reactive and a dream to walk on the lead – no pulling, no fuss, just loads of good vibes! 🥰

And when it comes to car journeys, Tommy is more than happy to jump straight in. No coaxing needed, he’s ready for the adventure! 🚗🐾

All in all, Tommy is a wonderful dog with a fantastic temperament who would make an amazing addition to a loving family. ❤️

🐾 BOBBY & ROCKSTAR - STILL WAITING FOR THEIR HAPPY ENDING 🐾

It’s been a while since we first introduced this lovely mama-and-son duo, and sadly, there has been no interest in Bobby and Rockstar so far. 💔

Their dynamic is pretty much the same: these two absolutely thrive together. 🥰

Rockstar, for his part, would probably do well in all sorts of environments, even without his feline supporting cast. He’s a confident, affectionate and wonderfully entertaining little guy.

But Bobby is a different story. She can still be quite timid around people, and she relies heavily on her little boy for courage, comfort and confidence. You can really see the difference in her when Rockstar is by her side. ❤️

So, for Bobby’s sake especially, we would really love to see these two find their forever home together. 🤞🏡

They’ve been waiting patiently. Could their happy ending finally be out there?

Please take another look at Bobby and Rockstar, share their post, and help us find the special person or family who will give this sweet pair the loving home they deserve. 🐾❤️

BOBBY 🖤🤍
• DSH
• Black & white
• 7–8 months

ROCKSTAR 🐯

✅ ADOPTED

🧡 PLEASE DON’T LET THE WORDS “FeLV-POSITIVE” STOP YOU FROM MEETING TIGGER. 🧡

Poor Tigger… he’s still waiting. 😔 And honestly, we can’t understand why, because this boy is an absolute sweetheart. 🥰

We thought we’d take a moment to talk about the one thing that may be putting potential adopters off - Tigger’s FeLV diagnosis.

❤️ So, what does FeLV actually mean?

FeLV stands for Feline Leukemia Virus. It is a virus that affects a cat’s immune system, which means FeLV-positive cats need a little extra care and monitoring.

But here’s something really important:

An FeLV-positive diagnosis does NOT mean that Tigger is a sick cat sitting around waiting for his life to end.

Tigger is doing well. He’s settling into his foster home, gaining weight, and most importantly, he’s still the same loving, affectionate boy we’ve told you about from the beginning. 🧡

FeLV-positive cats can have good quality lives, sometimes for years. We simply need to give them the right environment - and for Tigger, that means an indoor-only home, either as the only cat or with another FeLV-positive cat.

And what does Tigger want in return?

Not much.

A warm sofa. 🛋️
A safe home. 🏡
Someone to love him. ❤️
And plenty of cuddles. 🥰

He doesn’t care that he’s FeLV-positive.

He just knows he wants to be someone’s beloved cat.

At only 3 years old, Tigger has so much love left to give. Please don’t overlook him because of a diagnosis. Come and meet the gorgeous ginger boy behind the label, we think you might just fall in love. 🧡

🐾 Breed: DSH
🧡 Colour: Ginger
🎂 Age: 3 years
♂️ S*x: Male (neutered)
🩺 FeLV-positive

📋 Adoption form:
https://www.klaws.ie/cat-adoption-page

If Tigger isn’t the right cat for you, please share his post anyway. The person who is perfect for Tigger may be one share away. 🙏🧡

Let’s get this beautiful boy seen. He deserves his chance. 🐾
