Once again the GSPCA held a Cat First Aid Course to help feline owners in Guernsey.
With 300 cats killed on the roads and the Animal Shelter helping over a 1000 cats a year at the GSPCA we are always striving to help pet owners.
Yesterday was the first cat first aid course of 2015, but there is a dog first aid course this Sunday and dates set for further courses later this year.
7 keen individuals arrived for 9.30am and after nearly two hours of learning about cat first aid they got a chance to meet some of the cats in the cattery and see behind the scenes.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "Each of the training sessions for both cat and dog first aid have been really enjoyable and those attending leave with a sense of understanding which could really help their pets if ever they find them sick or injured."
"The training session starts at 930am and lasts around 2 hours and isn't about learning how to be a vet, but to know what you can do to help save your cats life."
"As well as the first aid course we are looking at holding another Pet Bereavement Course for Professionals and Volunteers in April and everyone is welcome."
"Also at the end of this month on Friday 27th March we have a speaker from Ceva coming over to talk about Feliway, Adaptil and their other products and we will release more details very soon."
"You can see all of our courses on our training page."
The dates for the first aid courses are:
Dog First Aid 9.30am - 11.45am Sunday 15th March 2015 - Ref - Dog 15/03
