Friends of the CDPA is our community of monthly supporters who help us continue rescuing, caring for

and rehoming cats and dogs across Ireland.

Why We Created Friends of the CDPA

Every week, we receive calls and messages asking if we can help cats and dogs in need.

As much as we'd love to help every animal, the reality is that we can't always say yes.

Unlike many larger rescues, CDPA doesn't have kennels, a shelter or a cattery. Every animal we take into our care relies on a foster home opening its doors and the funds to provide the care they need.

Regular monthly support gives us greater confidence to plan ahead, support our foster homes and be ready when we can help the next animal that needs us.

That's why we created Friends of the CDPA.

You're Part of the Rescue

Every rescue starts with someone saying "yes."

A fosterer says yes to opening their home.

A volunteer says yes to giving their time.

An adopter says yes to giving an animal a second chance.

By becoming a Friend of the CDPA, you're saying yes too.

Your monthly support helps make every one of those second chances possible.

What Your Support Helps Provide

Your donation helps us provide the care many cats and dogs need before they can begin the next chapter of their lives.

This includes things such as:

  • Veterinary treatment

  • Vaccinations

  • Neutering

  • Microchipping

  • Food and everyday care

  • Emergency veterinary treatment

  • Supporting our foster homes while animals are in our care

Every animal's journey is different, but every donation helps us continue providing the care and support they deserve.
