2014 GSPCA Calendars all now only £2 each

Submitted by GSPCA on 17:04, 24th Jan, 2014 | 0

We would like to thank everyone that has supported our 2014 calendars so far, it really is appreciated.

As we are now very close to February we are selling the few calendars we have left for only £2 each.

Currently we have 3 styles of calendar all of which have been kindly given to the Shelter to help raise funds for animals in Guernsey.

We have the Guernsey Electricity calendar which is full of wonderful pictures from around our beautiful island.

We also have a calendar with prints of animal wildlife art from local artist Mark Bayliss which were sponsored by Heritage.

Finally we have an adorable calendar done by Guernsey Rabbit and Cavy Club which has very cute pictures each month of rabbits and guinea pigs.

We are extremely thankful to all involved in producing these calendars and we are hoping to sell those few remaining for only £2 each.

All calendars are on-sale at the GSPCA reception desk Monday to Saturday between 9am and 5pm.

To donate to Trinity and Edens Big Fish Appeal please call 01481 257261, pop along to the Animal Shelter in St Andrews, by post or by clicking the link below.

We will of course keep you up to date with Trinity and Edens progress and keep your eyes open for pictures and videos.

If anyone see's a pup with or without a mum we really do appreciate a call so that we are aware of its location and condition but here is some advice.

A healthy pup looks like a big, stuffed maggot without a neck. However, a thin pup looks sleek (but not bony) and has a visible neck, like a healthy dog.

PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH THE SEAL. They can give a nasty bite, which will become infected by bacteria that live in a seal’s mouths.

Note: Do not allow dogs or other animals to harass a seal.

If a Seal is scared back into the water, it could then be washed out to sea by strong currents and be lost. You should not put a seal pup back in the sea as it may get into difficulty.

If a Seal pup is sick, thin or injured then we would ask you to contact the GSPCA immediately on 01481 257261 day or night

When reporting an injured, sick or abandoned seal to the GSPCA, please make sure you are able to supply the following information:

Exact location; nearest town / village
Position on the beach, and state of the tide
How long you have observed the pup; any disturbance / risk to it; whether the mother has been seen
Any wounds / obvious signs of illness
Length/colour/condition.

Caution:- Handling of any animal either domestic, wild, dead or alive may be potentially hazardous. Obvious dangers include bites, scratches and general hygiene issues. Common sense should be applied in all instances and, if unsure, seek additional advice or assistance. Personal hygiene should be taken into consideration after handling any animal, whether it’s domestic, wild, dead or alive.
