Oscar the cat has kidney problems and needs your support

Submitted by GSPCA on 17:19, 8th Mar, 2013 | 0

Every day we see sick and injured animals here at the GSPCA Animal Shelter in Guernsey.

Oscar a male black and white cat although looks quite healthy has kidney problems and the GSPCA and our vets are trying to determine what is the exact problem.

After a series of tests he currently is having a 3 week course of antibiotics to hopefully cure what we are hoping will be just an infection.

Oscar is just one of the many un-neutered, stray cats we have had in at the Shelter this year and we are urging owners to ensure their cats are spayed with Spring upon us.

Submitted by GSPCA on 18:05, 28th Feb, 2013 | 0

You may have heard about or seen Cinders the cat on the internet or local media.

She came in to the Shelter for rehoming but unfortunately had a number of issues with her health, teeth and gums.

Cinders had an initial opertation and has been on treatment for two months but unfortunately yesterday the brave decision had to be made to remove all but her 4 canines leaving her with a very gummy mouth.

Although never an easy decision, despite a series of treatments, it was decided to remove many of Cinders teeth as it was in her best interest.

Golden oldie Abigail the cat is now in her new home

Submitted by GSPCA on 16:27, 11th Feb, 2013 | 0

At nearly 13 years of age and arrived at the Shelter last June we are pleased to announce that Abigail is now in a new home.

Abigail who was one of the older cats at the Shelter and certainly a staff favorite went to her new home on Saturday.

At the GSPCA we see animals of all sizes and ages but unfortunately the older animals  are often over looked for the youngsters.  At the Shelter we currently have a number of  older cats looking for that loving retirement home.

Taking care of your pets with the cold weather coming

Submitted by GSPCA on 14:09, 12th Jan, 2013 | 0

With cold weather coming and potential sleet and snow on the way the GSPCA want pet owners to consider all the animals of Guernsey. During a cold snap the GSPCA are on full alert, ready to deal with a variety of animals affected by the low temperatures.

But you can also do your bit to prevent animals suffering over the cold period.

Do you have a pond?

If you have a pond, make sure you check it every day for ice, as toxic gases can build up in the water of a frozen pond. These can kill fish or frogs that are hibernating at the bottom.

Please help Felix a very special cat needing a farm or stable home

Submitted by GSPCA on 17:11, 3rd Jan, 2013 | 0

Felix has now been at the GSPCA Animal Shelter since October 2011 and we want to start the New Year finding her that forever home.

She came in as a feral and unfortunately is still very nervous so would best suit a farm or stable yard home.  At only 3 years of age she does get on well with other cats and we are asking for your help.

Even if you can't offer her a home if you could download a poster and display it or even spread the word of her needing a home from talking to friends to sharing on social networks such as facebook and twitter we would really appreciate it.

Appeal to find the owner of an injured cat found in St Peter Port on the 12th November 2012

Submitted by GSPCA on 15:51, 15th Nov, 2012 | 0

On Saturday the 12th November the GSPCA had to rush a stray tabby and white female cat that was found on a roof in St Peter Port with what looked like signs of a road traffic injury to the vets.

Unfortunately she had no collar and no microchip but is extremely friendly and staff believe that there must be an owner for her somewhere.

Due to her injuries she is still at the vets and the GSPCA are urging anyone who may own this cat to come forward.
