I found this little fledgling in the paws of a cat on Thursday night, another bird was swooping down attacking the cat very loudly, that is what caught my attention in the first place. Brave bird! This was about 8pm. Not only did KWR answer their email straight away, they asked for a video to verify the bird type, sent me an information packet to keep it safe overnight and I had him in with them by 10am the next day.
They don’t charge, but do ask for a donation, which I was happy to give. He was in poor shape on the first night, but next morning he had his eyes open, fluttering the wings and chirping all the way to the KWR. We had a quick look for his bird friend the next day, with him chirping from the shoe box, but no luck.
KWR explained he probably needed an anti biotic anyway due to cat saliva. The lady at the desk was super helpful and he was taken in while I was filling out a form, as soon as she heard cat she ran him inside. 🐥✨️
TLDR; Rescued a bird. Kildare Wildlife Rescue were quick to respond and just as quick to take him in the next day. 💕

Can agree, had the same experience with them. Had no idea they were right behind Grey Abbey the entire time. Helped me out with advice on a random bat we had last year, getting me on a call on WhatsApp and talking me through what to do. Wish I had a useful skill to help fundraiser for em
Gorgeous story ❤️ Well done for rescuing the little bird!
That’s lovely, hope they fix the little one up. I’ve had a neighbourhood cat making attempts at my starlings but they were thankfully futile because the cat is a spoiled couch potato.
Cannot speak highly enough about KWR. They’ve helped me a few times with injured birds and trying to help sick wildlife.
So I have a monthly subscription to their patreon as a way of giving back.
Well done for helping the little bird!
