Oopsie the cat needs you donations towards her operation – GSPCA Celebrating 150 years

Every day the GSPCA rush animals to the vets needing vet care and treatment and one very special cat needing an operation is Oopsie.

Oopsie is one of the oldest cats at the GSPCA at 17 years old how arrived in the Autumn after her owner sadly passed away.

Oopsie is a lovely cat but unfortunately has a nasty growth in ear that needs removing.

To donate to her operation and care please go to https://giving.gg/donate/charity/2/Guernsey-Society-for-the-Prevention-of-Cruelty-to-Animals-(GSPCA)

To see Oopsie on our youtube please go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjGPruj0uSA

Ali Le Huray GSPCA Animal Care Assistant said “Oopsie arrived as a stray and was covered in fleas and had an ear infection which was the first things we noticed.”

“She has been to the vets already for blood test and dental but now requires an ear operation as she has a nasty polyp in right ear which requires delicate surgery.”

“When she arrived she was so uncomfortable and full of worms also, but now feeling a bit better she is a lovely cat.” 

“She is booked in this month for her operation and to donate to her and the other animals please go to https://giving.gg/donate/charity/2/Guernsey-Society-for-the-Prevention-of-Cruelty-to-Animals-(GSPCA) .”

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Oopsie wasn’t in a great condition what so ever when she arrived but is looking so much better but really needs an operation on her right ear before we can find her a forever home.”

“We help hundreds of cats every year and with the thousands of animals through our doors and our veterinary bills alone often cost well over £5,000 a month with all the special diets and mediations to the hand rearing milk without the time and care they need.”

“Oopsie as do the many animals in our care need your help and to donate to her operation you can pop into the Shelter in St Andrews, call 257261 or online https://giving.gg/donate/charity/2/Guernsey-Society-for-the-Prevention-of-Cruelty-to-Animals-(GSPCA) .”

“ A really great way to help Oopsie and the many animals is to become an Angel Pen Pal Sponsor donating each month to help the hundreds of animals in our care which you can do by downloading this form - http://www.gspca.org.gg/sites/default/files/Angel%20sponsor%20form%20special%202018%20new.pdf or to become a Corporate Angel Pen Pal form for your business to sponsor animals in our care each year please click here http://www.gspca.org.gg/sites/default/files/Corporate%20Angel%20Pen%20Pal%20sponsor%20formnew.pdf .”
