Thank you Guernsey Animal Aid who recently closed for over 25 years helping animals from all the GSPCA and all you have helped

Submitted by Steve on 17:48, 4th Jan, 2024 | 0

The GSPCA and we are sure all the animals and people you have helped would like to send a sincere and heart felt thanks to all of the Guernsey Animal Aid team for all they have done helping animals and our community for over 25 years.

Guernsey Animal Aid was founded in 1998 by Sue Vidamour as an answer to the feral cat problem in Guernsey. Prior to this Sue had been rehoming horses and dogs for 6 years. In 1998 there were 34 feral cat colonies on the island so Sue held a meeting about the problem and Guernsey Animal Aid was formed.

Stormy weather GSPCA see’s increased numbers of oiled birds if you spot one please don’t put yourself at risk just call 257261

Submitted by Steve on 16:50, 4th Jan, 2024 | 0

Every winter the stormy weather often churns up oils from the sea bed which sadly coat seabirds feathers and cause them to be unable to swim, fly and slowly poison them.

The GSPCA has had a number of rescued oiled seabirds and we want to remind all islanders for their own safety the risks in capturing these birds.

EXTREME WIND WARNING this evening – GSPCA Advice for your pets and wildlife with High Winds due

Submitted by Steve on 15:55, 4th Jan, 2024 | 0

The GSPCA asks that you think of your animals with the extreme high winds due.

Bad weather means it is difficult for hedgehogs and wild birds to feed normally, and young seal pups can easily be separated from their mothers.

Also we have to ensure our pets are safe and we must think of those that live outside if they are safe and if any precautions need to be taken.
