The GSPCA rehomes hundreds of cats every year and help thousands more.
Sadly many of the strays and those no longer being able to be cared for by their owners come in with health problems.
Currently we have two stunning cats in need of operations.
Trio who has gone through a number of medical treatments and a very difficult start to her 2 years of life has half a back right leg which needs operating on further.
She is one of the teams favourites but before we can rehome her we have to ensure she ready and healthy.

The GSPCA team were overjoyed yesterday as Pickles the cat went off to her new home.
After months of care and an operation to remove Pickles ears where the skin cancer was identified the staff and volunteers were able to wave her off to her new home.
At this time of year when the sun is shining the tips of some cats and some dogs ears can be affected by the suns harmful rays.

After an operation to remove a lump from his throat and an overnight stay Nouska the Husky is back at the Animal Shelter and doing well.
The lump which was found after Nouska was signed over to the Shelter has now been removed and he is on pain relief, antibiotics and a special food to help his recovery.
We have sent the lump away to be diagnosed and will hopefully no longer cause Nouska and more issues.

The GSPCA helps care for and rescue thousands of animals every year and without our wonderful volunteers we really couldn't do it.
From cleaning kennels to fundraising there are dozens of roles for volunteers to help the GSPCA and next Wednesday we have our second Volunteer Welcome and Induction Evening.
With the success of the first last month which drew a crowd of 18 new volunteers to the Shelter the second is planned for 6.30pm on the 17th July.

This week we have received a young kitten that was rescued out at Icart Point.
The GSPCA are concerned that there may be others and if you are out in the area and come across any please get in touch with the Shelter.
Tiger as he has been named was found extremely thin, no mother in site and full of worms, fleas and may not have survived if he had not been rescued.
This time of year kittens are often rescued and brought into the GSPCA and just this morning another feral was rescued and brought in from the Bouet area who is now named Molly.

Nouska is an older husky that has found his way to the GSPCA Animal Shelter and it has developed that he has a cancerous growth in his chest.
To help save Nouska and lengthen his life next Wednesday he is having an operation to remove the lump.
With any operation there is both a risk and a cost but the vets and the team at the GSPCA feel that despite Nouska being over 10 years old he has a lot of life and love to give.

Pickles the cat who was diagnosed with cancer had her operation to remove her ear tips yesterday.
She is doing well and the vet and team at the Shelter are hopeful that Pickles has had all of the affected areas removed.
Anna Carre Senior Animal Care Assistant said 'She is so sweet and she still has a way to go before her ears are all healed.'
'The main problem I now have with Pickles is that she is so friendly she wants to head rub you to say hello and with her ears needing to heal its very difficult to stop it.'
