Just before Christmas we rehomed a lovely tortie female cat called Mittens who is now called Coco and is very much enjoying her new home.
Coco recently sent this lovely message -
‘Hello all of you at the GSPCA
I am sending this message to you all to let you know how I am getting on in my new home. I was adopted just two weeks ago.
Pongo is an incredible long haired black and white cat who is diabetic and we really want him to find his forever home.
Pongo arrived during the first lockdown and although we are in lockdown once again you can still complete an adoption form if you are interested in this amazing cat.

The first pet cat in the UK has been confirmed to have the Coronavirus this week. Although this is the first confirmed case of an animal infection with the Coronavirus strain in the UK, there is no evidence to suggest that the animal was involved in transmission of the disease to its owners or that pets or other domestic animals are able to transmit the virus to people.
With the current challenges we all need cheering up and what better way than sharing an update on an animal happily adopted from the GSPCA.
Hamish was adopted during lock down and here is an update from his owner -
“Just a few photos to show how Hamish has settled in, he has claimed our bedroom window sill as his early morning lookout post, and has a teddy to cuddle into in his bed next to the radiator in our bedroom.
He sits on the sofa between us in the evening watching tv or just under the sofa. He had a play last night with catnip, and seems very happy.

Priscilla was adopted at the end of 2019 and just before the lock down we had this update rom her owner -
“She has been with us for nearly four months now and has really settled in. She’s found her favourite spots (on the back of the sofa in the sun or in the bay window being nosey) and we’ve learnt her cheeky habits (her slightly unladylike scavenging makes us to keep a very tidy kitchen).
Due to Coronavirus the GSPCA is only operating essential services. All of our rehoming is now online, telephone and through the post as we are avoiding visitors to the Shelter at all costs in line with advice from the States of Guernsey.
With animals still arriving and being rescued, unwanted, stray and abandoned the GSPCA have to look at ways we can help rehome animals in our care.
At the GSPCA finding an animal a new home is a very special moment as we wave them off on their new adventure.
When we hear how they are doing it is even more heart warming and earlier this year we found a very special cat a home called Charlie.
Charlie's new owner contacted us recently with an update and said “I am pleased to confirm that Charlie has settled in with us really quickly.”
“She has become a valued family member.”
At the GSPCA we love to hear how the animals that we have rehomed are doing in their new homes.
Recently got some lovely pictures of Priscilla a beautiful long haired black and white cat who first arrived as a stray at the GSPCA this time last year.
Sadly no owner was found, she had no microchip and we discovered a number of ailments which needed a long period of veterinary care to get her feeling well enough to be available for rehoming.
You may have seen our two recent posts on older cats desperately in need of homes and how Spud and Dexter are settling well in their forever homes.
This is Dexter one of our rare younger recent residents that as you can see is loving his wonderful new home.
It is great that we see very few kittens in need or suffering, but this does mean we don’t often have many young cats in need of homes, but we certainly have many older cats needing that special someone.
