The Cat Sanctuary
Glosna House loves a good cause and the Cat Sanctuary in Laois is our charity of choice. Glosna founder Marie Byrne and her family have always been indirectly involved in Animal Charities. In fact every animal that calls Glosna House home (currently 5) is a rescue or an animal that they fostered but never actually sent to a new home!
​
The Cat Sanctuary captured their hearts with the incredible life saving work they do. Their work is not for the faint of heart as they rehabilitate seriously injured/abused or neglected cats, many of whom are on their 'last chance at life.'
When you visit The Pink Cottage at Glosna you can browse the Cat Sanctuary Shop (100% of profits goes directly towards their vet bills which are substantial given the nature of the cats they take in.) There is also a Food Donation Basket where you can leave dry and wet cat and kitten food which is given to feral cat colonies and foster carers/adoptive cat parents who gratefully appreciate help with food.

The Cat Sanctuary; A Safe Haven for Special Cats.
At the Cat Sanctuary, we dedicate our efforts to providing a safe and nurturing environment for cats who need it the most. Our sanctuary focuses on caring for senior, scared, sick, or injured cats, offering them a second chance at life in a safe haven where they will be given all the time they need to be rehabilitated and rehomed.
Our Mission
We believe that every cat deserves a chance, regardless of their age, health status, or socialisation level. We believe it is important they too are given an opportunity to find a forever home even if they face more challenges in being adopted.
Who We Help
We assist rescues such as the Irish Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ISPCA) by offering a safe place for cats that have been rescued by their Inspector and are in need of care. We provide these cats with a warm, comforting, safe environment to heal from their trauma.
