Last month after Storm Ciaran a loggerhead turtle was rescued and we are pleased to say from just over 800g without Barnacles that Barnacle Bill is now over 1200g’s in weight
We have two out of the three parts of the CITES paperwork required for her travel and she is doing well.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We are still clearing up after Storm Ciaran at the GSPCA, but we are pleased to give some amazing news on Barnacle Bill.”
“When Barnacle Bill she weighed over 1200g’s with her barnacles attached and 800g’s without them.”
“After more than a month of care she is now up to 1200g’s without the barnacles.”
“We have two out of the three parts of the CITES paperwork required and she has an id chip which she also needed thanks to local vet and GSPCA President John Knight.”
“Most importantly we have a very kind islander offer to help fly her to Gran Canaria once her paperwork is all in order with some of our team to make sure she gets there safely.”
“We have been told it shouldn’t be long but with Christmas so close it will be likely once that is out of the way.”
“A huge thanks to all the kindness offered after the storm and to Barnacle Bill especially the amazing lift she will get when she is ready.”
“There was £1000’s worth of damage at the Shelter and if anyone would like to donate to the repairs or to Barnacle Bill you can do so by calling 01481 257261, by post to GSPCA, Rue des Truchots, St Andrews, Guernsey GY6 8UD or online https://giving.gg/donate/charity/2/Guernsey-Society-for-the-Prevention-of-Cruelty-to-Animals-(GSPCA) .”

“A gift of a tiny bowl costing less than a £1 to a £600 intensive care unit, every donation is hugely appreciated and really makes the team smile that there are those that care and want to support our work.”
“Another amazing way to support our work is by just a couple of pounds each month can make a massive difference in helping the animals in our care and to find out more please go to http://www.gspca.org.gg/sites/default/files/Angel%20sponsor%20form%20special%202018%20new.pdf .”
