“We have an online Wish List on our website and also an Amazon Wish List and we are so grateful to all that have already donated.”

“This Christmas it would be wonderful if anyone wanting to support the animals in our care could gift them something that we need like those items on our Wish List.”
“At the same time shopping online can help raise funds at the same time as if you select the GSPCA through easy fund raising part of the amount through 1000’s of online retailers comes back to the GSPCA and it has raised over £2500.”
