You may remember Thumbs our life saving cat.
Thumbs towards the end of 2013 was the very cat who helped save the life of a cat that required a blood transfusion at Isabelle Vets.
We are over joyed to report that Thumbs is now in a new and loving home and without doubt is very settled and happy.
Thumbs has a fantastic new family and now has two older human brothers who are very fond of him.
Anna Paint Senior Animal Care Assistant said 'It is wonderful to see Thumbs so happy in his new home.'
We are over the moon to report that Tilly and Topsy who up until recently were the longest stay cats at the GSPCA are now in their forever home.
That now means that Mitzi who arrived at the Shelter last April is now the longest stay cat at the GSPCA Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
At just over 9 years of age Mitzi needs a home where she can have her own space.
Robin is a male adult stray cat that came in extremely thin with multiple health problems.
When first found he even smelt as though he had been living out of a bin for some time.
With no owner found, Robin who has a lovely nature is in desperate need for your help and requires major surgery on his head to remove growths from both ears.
Anna Paint Senior Animal Care Assistant said 'Robin is adorable and has been through a lot already and we now need help to get his ears operated on.'
The GSPCA is currently inundated with animals in need of new homes.
With World Animal Day on the 4th October we are giving Islanders a chance to view many of the animals in need by having open days and evenings at the GSPCA Animal Shelter on Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday 2nd October between 11am and 8pm and on Thursday 3rd October between 11am until 4pm.
The GSPCA would like to thank everyone that turned out for the Reservoir Sponsored Dog Walk yesterday with Sidney's Events.
Nearly 30 dogs and walkers arrived at Rue des Anvilles car park to walk the 3 miles of pathes around the Reservoir.
Some in fancy dress and all with smiles, the group of walkers with tiny dogs like Jack Russels and Pugs to German Shepherds and Red Setters all had a lovely walk, with beautiful scenery, enjoying each others company whilst raising funds to help animals in Guernsey.
The GSPCA is currently inundated with animals in need of new homes.
If anyone is looking for a new pet then many of them can be seen on our website www.gspca.org.gg/animals and we are open for viewing for those interested in adopting 11am to 4pm Monday to Saturday.
The GSPCA often receive calls from distressed animal owners for a number of reasons and this year one that has been highlighted is that of dogs attacking other animals.
It is often reported in the press regarding dogs killing chickens that aren't controlled but it doesn't stop there. At the GSPCA we often have other birds, hedgehogs, rabbits and even cats that are reported to the Shelter that have been killed by dogs that aren't under control.
Some of the current legislation regarding Control of Dogs in Guernsey is:
Last Wednesday we had our second Volunteer Induction Evening which was even more popular than the first.
With 24 in attendance and 18 wanting to sign up as volunteers the GSPCA welcomed the group into the family.
From those wanting to help muck out to those wanting to fund raise they arrived and were welcomed at the Shelter before having a presentation and talk about the work we carry out as well as an Induction to enable them to work safely at the Shelter and during our events.
On Saturday Roy Cochrane held a talk and slide show at Les Coutils about Guernsey Changes.
Over 40 tickets were sold and all enjoyed a cream tea as well as a raffle.
Yvonne Chauvel Senior Animal Care Assistant popped down from the GSPCA said 'What a lovely afternoon.'
'Roy did a great talk and we are extremely grateful to him for donating the proceeds from the day to the GSPCA.'
