PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT - SureFeed
SureFeed is a microchip pet feeder from Sure Petcare. It makes sure every one of your cat gets the food it needs, without anyone else eating it all. This innovative, beautifully made feeder recognises your pet's microchip or the SureFlap RFID collar tag (1 included) and it only opens for authorised numbers. It is the perfect solution for multi cat households where it can be tricky to ensure all your cats get their fair share. And if one of your cats needs a special diet or medication it's a great way to restrict access to food. It is also a great way to stop the dog or toddler (!) eating the cat's food!
It is simple to scan your cat's microchip into the SureFeed. Once the number has been learnt it is stored. You can store up to 32 individual microchip numbers. The lid will only open for microchip numbers it recognises. When your cat has finished and moves away from the feeder the lid closes. You can adjust how quickly the lid closes. The bowls are designed to work specifically with this feeder. They have an integrated seal around the top which helps to keep food fresher for longer.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT - FELIWAY®
Using feline natural reassuring messages, FELIWAY® helps your cat happily adjust to pace of modern life, ensures full happiness and avoids signs like urine spraying, scratching, fighting and hiding.
The pheromone released by FELIWAY CLASSIC is the exact copy of the familiarisation facial pheromone that cats leave naturally by rubbing their cheek against an object or people when they are feeling comfortable in their environment.
The pheromone released by FELIWAY FRIENDS is the exact copy of the natural comforting pheromone released by the mother cats’ mammary area during the nursing period. This appeasing pheromone helps maintain the cohesion between the kittens and their mother.
The pheromone in FELISCRATCH by FELIWAY® is the exact synthetic copy of the pheromone released by cats’ interdigital area when scratching. Cats mark their territory by leaving this chemical olfactory message, combined with the visible lacerations on the scratched surface.

Our vision is to help create a world where every cat is cared for.
We are a not-for-profit cat rescue (registered charity no 20105297), based in Dublin’s north inner city. Our mission is to help homeless, stray and feral cats and kittens through our Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR), rescue, fostering and rehoming programmes in conjunction with our educational and advocacy work.
Since forming as a group of unpaid volunteers in August 2014, we have TNR’d over 1,000 feral cats and we have rescued, tamed and found loving forever homes for over 1,000 kittens. We have provided veterinary treatment for many more and we have rehomed a number of domestic cats who have been surrendered to us by their humans for a variety of reasons.
Local vets tell us they have seen a dramatic reduction in the number of homeless cats and unwanted kittens in the area since we started our work.
Our Goals and Objectives are to:-
• manage the homeless cat population in a humane and effective way through our TNR work
• tame, socialise and care for rescued cats and kittens, and find them secure, loving, forever homes which have been vetted by experienced PCR volunteers
• provide information and educate the public about the welfare and care of both domestic and community cats
• support existing and potential cat owners by providing information and advice on a range of cat behavioural issues
• follow best practice in animal rescue and to train volunteers to assist our cat welfare and rescue work
• advocate for better animal welfare legislation, especially for cats, and for enforcement of existing legislation
• set up fostering programmes with vulnerable groups (the elderly, young people in care, individuals with intellectual and/or physical disabilities, individuals with mental ill health, offenders
• demonstrate that by caring for cats we learn to care better for ourselves
• promote that all life should be treated with respect, compassion and empathy
• be open and transparent in the work we do
We run cat welfare awareness events in various pet stores across Dublin. We also run regular low cost microchipping days as part of our responsible pet ownership initiative, educational outreach projects, and we are active advocates on behalf of cat welfare in Ireland. In addition, we provide help, advice, and support about cats to many people via our Facebook page and website.
We are all unpaid volunteers and we rely on public donations and our own fundraising efforts to fund our rescue and educational work.

‘A happy cat is a catnip cat’ is our motto at Fred’s Catnip Farm and they have a mission to provide top quality catnip to our customers so that both cats and owners enjoy the most fun possible.
Most cats just love it and every cat will have their own individual reaction. It can make a cat playful, rolling in the catnip and play hunting or it can make a cat completely relaxed and chilled out. This reaction is all due to the Nepetalactone contained in the leaves and flowers of the plant and the strength and freshness of the Nepetalactone is key to your cat’s reaction to it.
In order to ensure their product is the very best it can be, Fred's Catnip Farm source top quality seeds. They sow their plants by hand, weed constantly and when the plants are in full bloom, carefully harvest the stems which are air dried before being hand stripped for the leaves and flowers. They never ever use any pesticides or herbicides. Their plants are handled with the greatest of care and they believe this maximises the level of Nepetalactone retained in our catnip.
Catnip is the common name for Nepeta Cataria, a perennial herb that belongs to the Mint family. It has similar leaves and the same square stem structure as other mints but is not generally used for cooking. Its main use is as an attractant for cats and it is widely used in cat toys.
As it is a natural product, poor handling or long term storage will cause significant deterioration in quality. Nepetalactone can be lost from handling or exposure to light and this will be reflected in lower reactions in cats to the product.
Most of the Catnip currently on sale in the UK and Ireland is imported from China or Canada – it cannot be as fresh as those produced locally at Fred's Catnip Farm and the air miles are not great for the environment. Similarly most of the competitors bulk out their products with the stalks of the plant which contain less Nepetalactone and means that they are not as potent as the ones at Fred's Catnip Farm.

Dublin's longest standing cat sitting company. Maow Care has been serving cat people by cat people since 2009. Cat sitting, behavioural therapy and workshops, all in one place. Featured on numerous media local and abroad, they are one of a kind cat care company in Dublin.
When Alice and Jason moved to Dublin from Paris in 2007, for the first time ever they had no family to help take care of their cat when they travelled. So they went looking and tried to look for a paid option. They quickly realised that there weren't that many options out there for cat people. Having a very difficult cat who doesn't travel well at all made going to a cattery a very difficult operation. Alice thought, 'Ha! I could start a cat sitting business!' They thought, 'Hey! Why not?'
Before they knew it, Alice left her office job and began cat sitting full time. Since then, the amount of cat families we have signed up to service has been growing every year. In 2012, as demand grew, we even started recruiting a few of our customers to join our team as cat sitters too!
They have served hundreds of cat people all over Dublin. Read more about them on www.maowcare.com
