On Saturday afternoon the GSPCA welcomed another lucky young lady and her friends for a special birthday guided tour of the GSPCA Animal Shelter in St Andrews.

Scarlett Le Brun who turned 10 on Friday with her younger sister and 4 of her friends got to see behind the scenes at the GSPCA and find out about the work of the Animal Shelter.

Arriving at 4pm the tour took nearly 2 hours visiting and meeting many of the animals in our care.

As Scarlett was the lucky birthday girl she got to help feed baby birds, meet Monkey a diabetic cat, hold Molly the beagle and even had the chance to see Olivia the loggerhead turtle.

The group also got to see Bonnie the seal pup being feed, see kittens, baby hedgehogs sleeping and even got to each hold a tortoise that live at the Shelter.

At the end of the tour the young ladies each got a certificate and Scarlett was presented with a GSPCA t-shirt as a gift.

All had a really fun time and Scarlett's parents were extremely grateful for the event which they too really enjoyed.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "Special and guided tours for birthdays have started to become very popular at the GSPCA and there are ways of making a full event including food and hire of a room."

"Scarlett was a lovely young lady, as were her friends and at the end of the tour we all sang Scarlett a 'Happy Birthday'."

"Nearly every weekend recently we have had bookings for birthday tours and if anyone is interested please do get in touch."

"As the birthday girl Scarlett go to feed baby birds, stroke Monkey the cat and Molly the beagle and even feed Olivia the loggerhead turtle, which I am sure will be a few of the moments she will remember for many years to come."

"With the special tours we do our best for the person who's birthday it is to give them a few very special moments as a special treat."

"We also hold guided tours in the school holidays but anyone wanting to know more please do get in touch."
