Whiskers New Park is an established cat sanctuary in County Galway, Ireland. It has been run for 14 years by the founder of the sanctuary, Janice Simcox, and her husband. At the moment there are over 50 cats there which are cared for single-handedly by Mrs. Simcox!
These cats have previously been abused, Involved in road accidents or just dumped on the doorstep. Some have been cared for at the sanctuary for many years as suitable homes haven't been found. A few cats are seriously ill but she refuses to give up on them. She gives every bit of her energy into caring for these cats including frequent vet runs either to immunize the cats or to treat the sick ones as well as finding new homes with responsible owners.
Sadly after years of financial struggle, she has completely run out of money and is relying on her husband’s sick pay to help feed the cats. The phone has been cut off and the sanctuary bills are going unpaid. She is now relying on friends to bring the cat's food and litter.
If anyone lives near to Williamstown, County Galway in Ireland and wants to volunteer to help out, she would be overjoyed!
Or, if anyone wants to drop in some dried cat food, Whiskas sachets (for the sick cats and kittens) or wood pellet cat litter then that would help so much too.
