The charity currently have over 140 animals in there care, with a whopping 130 of this number accounting for young kittens.
Watch: another litter of kittens rescued by Laois SPCA this week.

"We have a backlog of kittens and cats, and people on waiting lists with our TNR (trap, neuter, return) team," they said.
The TNR team neuters and releases cats to keep the amount of stray cats low, for the sake of both mothers and kittens.
"TNR is a vital part of our work and unfortunately we have had to suspend this until we get our vet bills down. We are still receiving calls daily in relation to stray cats and kittens," the charity said.
"We have over 130 kittens and some with pending eye removal and other minor surgeries which we are anxious to get done as soon as possible.
