With over 300 animals in our care and over 3000 through our doors each year there are many things we use and need 24/7 365 days a year.
There are many ways to support our work and every penny makes a huge difference but there are a huge range of other ways in which you can support our work and help us care for the animals at the GSPCA.
One item recently received from our Amazon Wish List was a huge roll of Vet Bed a specialised bedding for animals. You can see our Amazon Wish List here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/25MJPPDAGXHL1?type=WishList
On the list there are cat beds to scratchers, fairy liquid to bin bags, butchers dog food to PPE we had an amazing range of gifts for both the team, cleaning and the animals in our care.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We cannot thank all those that support our varied work and with over 300 animals in our care every penny donation and donation made is hugely appreciated.”
“We have an online Wish List on our website and also an Amazon Wish List and due to covid and many events and fund raisers cancelled our Wish Lists and the gifts donated from these has been a huge help during these difficult days.”
“One of the most recent donations was a large 10 metre roll of a specialised veterinary bedding which has been hugely popular with our cats and other animals in our care.”
“We recently received some fantastic Cat Castle Beds which are two storeys high and this bedding is ideal for the these beds and the cats are absolutely loving the purple and white paw print fleece.”
“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.”
“To sign up to do this please visit http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/guernseyspca/?u=1CHID8 .”
“Sadly Amazon Smile doesn’t allow Guernsey charities to sign up but you can go through easy fund raising to achieve the same donation.”
“You can always chose to donate via local stores and the Amazon Wish List is a shop front showing some of the items we need but there are many others and we have published these on our Wish List page http://www.gspca.org.gg/about/our-plans-wish-list .”
“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.”
“A huge thank you to all that have donated and supported our work we really couldn’t do so much without so many caring and wonderful suporters.”
