On Saturday GSPCA Animal Care Assistant Cathryn Tyrell gave a lovely birthday guided tour to Emily Bateman who was celebrating her 11th birthday with her friends at the GSPCA.
The group started the tour with Cathryn showing Emily and her friends around the Shelter where Emily as the birthday girl got special treatment and met a number of the animals in our care.
The tour took the group around the site and behind the scenes finishing with a few surprise gifts and certificates for the group and a party in our events room which can be hired out as an extra.
Cathryn Tyrell GSPCA Animal Care Assistant said "It was lovely to show Emily and her friends around the GSPCA last Saturday."
"Emily and her friends loved meeting Annie the shit-zu, Tom a cat in need of a home, Hugh one of our resident tortoise, and Ghost and Gizmo two ferrets in need of a home."
"The group found out all sorts of facts about the animals at the GSPCA and the birthday girl Emily also got the chance to enter a number of the animal pens."
At the GSPCA we have seen a fantastic response to our recent Birthday and Special occasion guided tours and have already got many booked in over the coming weeks.
From young to old we now offer a unique experience for a loved one, family member or friend to see behind the scenes at the GSPCA.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "This year we have started offering unique birthday and special guided tours and they have been proving hugely popular."
"We have also now teamed up with Island Mums and provide card holders a discount on this wonderful experience."
"Our special tours include a behind the scenes tour of the GSPCA in St Andrews with a focus on the special person who may be celebrating a birthday, anniversary or even a retirement gift."
"Each tour is unique as the animals in our care vary from one week to the next and previous one's have helped feed baby birds to Olivia the turtle."
"You can even hire our events room and we have a great caterer who can help us help you provide the full birthday party for you child or loved one."
