Lea Parker-Bond started rescuing animals in February 1998 and formally set up the Tigger Trust in Co. Kerry in January 2002. It is named after Tigger, one of our cats who sadly died at a young age and to whom this site is dedicated.

We have re-homed hundreds of animals in the Republic of Ireland and our job is to ensure that each animal goes to the best home they possibly can. Until such an opportunity arises, they are fostered or cared for by the original owners.

We are commited to educating about the importance of spaying and neutering as well as the importance of vaccinations, worming and de-fleaing plus yearly check ups at a reliable vets.

For the future we hope to achieve suitable foster homes for unwanted animals, build facilities where there is an onsite vet. Lea is striving to achieve her own premises where animals can have free reign and live in a safe environment whilst waiting for new owners and is constantly trying to educate people on the importance of a well looked after animal.

Horses are another animal Lea would like to be able to cater for in the future.

More inspectors are desperately needed in Kerry and funding is required to achieve all of the goals to acquire necessary equipment, medical supplies etc.

We welcome any ideas, comments and help with fundraising as with your help we can control the animal problems in Kerry and the whole of Ireland.

Well done to all the other organisations who like the Tigger Trust are working hard to achieve some sort of control within the animal population.

I would also like to thank our local vets for all their help: Richard Hurley's Veterinary Hospital, Brewery Road, Tralee, 066-7129760, William O'Riordain, Abbeyfeale Vets, 068-31059 who joined the Trust in 2008 and also Donal Murphy Vets in Rathmore, 064-58009.
Many thanks to all the staff in your help with Tigger Trust.

Tigger Trust recieves yearly goverment funding from the Minister of Food & Agriculture. Other funding comes from donations from the public also and if anyone would like to do a fundraiser for Tigger Trust, that would be most welcome.
