The GSPCA are appealing for the owner of a stray white turkey that has been at the Shelter for over a week.
Kiki as she has been fondly named was rescued from the Forest Road area on Saturday the 4th August after being reported to the Shelter wondering the streets.
She has been under treatment and is doing well but as yet no owner has come forward. Kiki has a very friendly nature and staff are confident that there must be an owner that is missing this lovely bird and we are hoping to have them re-united.
Yvonne Chauvel Senior Animal Care Assistant said 'Kiki is lovely and must have an owner out there somewhere.' 'She is doing well and has even started laying eggs.' 'If an owner doesn't come forward we have a lovely lady that will happily take her on, but we want to make sure that there isn't anyone out there missing this little character.'
If anyone has any information we are asking them to pop in to the Shelter or call 01481 257261
The Shelter always has dozens of stray animals from cats to tortoise, rabbits to birds and if anyone loses or finds a stray pet we urge them to report to the Shelter as soon as possible.
