With winter and cold weather with us and potential snow on the way the GSPCA want pet owners and the public 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 cold weather.
But you can also do your bit to prevent animals suffering over the cold period.
DO you have a pond?

The GSPCA have cats in to the Shelter nearly every day of the year. They come in as ferals, strays, unwanted, rescues, new born kittens, road traffic accidents as well as many other reasons.
Many of the cats that are for rehoming often only stay with us for a matter of weeks before they find a new loving owner.
Gizmo came in on the 26th January 2011 and the GSPCA are hoping to find her a home before she becomes the only animal in the Shelter that has been here for what will be over a year.

If you can say that your job, or even your life, is like trying to herd cats, then this day is for you!
Cat Herders Day was created by Thomas and Ruth Roy of Wellcat Holidays to honor all of the people in the world whose lives can be compared to the impossible task of herding cats. This time of year it is easy to feel as if we’re chasing after a bunch of independent-minded felines.

The GSPCA has had recent reports of not only individuals that may have received puppies from puppy farms in the UK but also individuals that have been deceived online from websites advertising puppies for sale.
The GSPCA always encourages responsible pet ownership and by purchasing animals on line or from a puppy farm is far from helping animal welfare.

Quack Quack,
Well I wanted to let everyone know that World Kindness Day is this Sunday 13th November. It was introduced in 1998 by the World Kindness Movement and is observed in many countries, including Canada, Japan, Australia, Nigeria and United Arab Emirates.

We would like to say a MASSIVE thank you to all the wonderful kind people of Guernsey and even in the UK that have donated and seen the plight and need of Mr T, the cat who is in need of a cancer operation to remove part of his ears and nose.
We would like to inform everyone that after a stroke of luck we have found the owners of Mr T. They were re-united after much heart ache and were very happy to see one another. They are taking him to their vets to have him health checked and to continue any treatment needed.

Mr T who has many pet names such as Top Hat and Mr Thomas is a cat that without an operation would most certainly have a much, much shorter life. Mr T has cancer and needs to have the tips of his ears and part of his nose removed.

This Halloween there are black cats in many homes in Guernsey but the GSPCA have more black cats than any other at the animal shelter.
The staff at the GSPCA care for many black cats every year and have noticed that they often get passed by. Pumpkin pictured with his black and white brother Pie were born at the shelter and have been looking for homes for over 3 months now. Beauty their mum who is also a black cat also really needs a loving new home.

World Animal Day is celebrated each year on October 4. It started in Florence, Italy in 1931 at a convention of ecologists. On this day, animal life in all its forms is celebrated, and special events are planned on locations all over the globe. 4 October was originally chosen for World Animal Day because it is the feast day of Francis of Assisi, a nature lover and patron saint of animals and the environment.
