GSPCA warning of the dangers of treating cats not owned by themselves can lead to overdosing and other issues

Submitted by Steve on 16:07, 27th Sep, 2024 | 0

The GSPCA has recently been contacted by an owner concerned someone is giving additional unnecessary treatment to her beloved cat.

Many cat owners allow their cats to enjoy the fresh air and freedom of Guernsey and although over 80% of island cats are microchipped few have collars due to concerns many owners have in regards their cats safety with the way their cats explore which can lead to members of public assuming they aren’t owned with no visible id.

Can you help a cat needing a Rural or Farm type home from the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 19:22, 8th Dec, 2023 | 0

There are many reasons cats come into the GSPCA.

Not all have loving caring starts to their lives and at the GSPCA we are always looking for farm or rural cats for those cats that didn’t have the kindest of upbringings or those cats that can be a bit grumpy with people.

Anna Paint GSPCA Animal Care Supervisor said “We currently have three cats with us that are more suited to a free roaming/rural life, Meet. Jim, Ramsey and Twiglet.”

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

Starsky is a feral cat from Sark who we are hoping to return him to the island where someone can watch over him once he has had a much needed operation.

Starsky has already had blood tests to check he is healthy other than a nasty eye issue requiring an entropion operation which will cost with care around £500.
