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.”
Earlier this month two volunteers from a French cat charity popped into the GSPCA for a visit.
The two volunteers from Les Puces which is based in Brittany help cats and kittens through their network of foster homes.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “It is always wonderful to meet, chat too and show visitors from other rescues around the GSPCA.”
“It sounds like they have some real challenges with cat numbers in Brittany and it was wonderful to chat and to give them helpful tips and other organisations that can help.”
Every day the GSPCA rush animals to the vets needing vet care and treatment and one very special cat called Oopsie had a very large operation.
Oopsie is one of the oldest cats at the GSPCA at 17 years old who arrived in the Autumn after her owner sadly passed away.
Oopsie is a lovely cat but unfortunately had a nasty growth in ear that needs removing.
We are pleased to say te operation went well and she is now recuperating at the GSPCA.

Oopsie is a black cat that was found as a stray last September found covered in fleas and not in the best condition.
This lovely older cat is certainly in her late teens and requires a number of treatments at the vets.

Tomorrow the GSPCA will be holding the second dog first aid course of 2022.
GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne who has over 25 years working in the field of animal rescue will be running the course and with over 3000 animals through the doors every year at the GSPCA the team see cases of animal first aid on a daily basis here in Guernsey.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “In May we held our first Dog First Aid Course of 2022 and we had a full house of 19.”
At the GSPCA we help 1000’s of animals every year, but we have seen a drop in numbers of dogs and cats needing our help find homes locally, although we do help them in many other ways.
In recent years we have been trying to help animals from UK and Irish SPCA animal shelters and Association of Dog and Cat Home members, but with the Covid Pandemic this has been very difficult.
At the GSPCA we love to hear how the animals adopted from the GSPCA are settling in and recently we heard from the owner of Elsie the 14 year old cat who was recently adopted.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Elsie arrived at the GSPCA last August with a number of health issues as a stray with no microchip.”
