This Spring a lovely cat called Bertie came into our care.
The 7 year old cat was found as a stray with a number of health problems including his eyes not being in good health.
Anna Paint Senior Animal Care Assistant tells us of Berties story “Bertie came in to us as a stray in May and straight away we realised that he had a problem with his eye sight and he was in a poor condition, Bertie was sent straight to the vets to get checked over as blindness in cats can be caused by a number of issues.”
We always love to hear how animals adopted from the GSPCA and here is a little update from Tiger the cats new home.
New owner Di Lihou said “Very happy to say Tiger has settled in with us very quickly and is such a loving and affectionate cat who loves loads of attention.”
“We were keen to rehome a cat from the GSPCA as have had one from you in the past and they have always been happy and well looked after.”
Ali Le Huray GSPCA Animal Care Assistant said “Tiger was such a loving cat and its great to hear and see that he is very happy in his new home.”
On Saturday 25th May a white and black cat was hit by a car and rushed to the vets.
Amballes as the cat has been named was rescued by the GSPCA Warden on Les Amballes in St Peter Port and sadly has no chip or owner come forward.
The cat has been at the vets since Saturday and requires a huge amount of surgery to survive.

At the GSPCA the team love to hear how the animals are doing that have been adopted and we wanted to share this wonderful letter from Benny a cat that was recently rehomed -
‘Dear Steve and Anna
As promised I am writing to let you know how I am getting on in my new home.
I've been here a week now and settling in very well.
I was very timid on the first day and took a few hours to even venture very far from my cat box.
The GSPCA have been asked to help spread the word to help two cats find a very special home.
Here are the details –
Alfie (black) and Indie (grey) are two 7 year old, indoor cats looking for a new home.
Sadly, due to health issues the owner is moving to Perth, Australia and she cannot take them with her as they would not manage the trip and months in quarantine.
146 years ago when the GSPCA was first founded road traffic incidents were something that know one would have understood and comprehended but in the fast world we now live sadly here in Guernsey they are all too common place.
In fact just last night another fatality occurred of a young cat which the GSPCA rushed too but sadly it was too late and nothing could be done.
Over recent years the GSPCA have seen anywhere between 150 and 300 cats killed on the roads of Guernsey every year and sadly far many death is very swift often through no fault of the driver.
At the GSPCA we love to hear from those animals rehomed from the GSPCA and recently we had an update from Sparkle.
We often help animals from around the Channel Islands and Sparkle came from Sark,
Sparkle went to her new home last month and as you may see from the picture she is very happy.
Her new owners said “We promised to send an update on Sparkle, who we adopted just over two weeks ago.”
“We are pleased to say that she has settled in really well and is purring a lot.”
Last week an appeal went out to help Lucy a cat who needed an operation due to a large growth.
We are saddened to report that after the operation and further investigation an extremely large intestinal lymphoma was found which was inoperable.
The GSPCA would like to thank you to all that supported Lucy and the very kind words.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Lucy was such an amazing cat and we are all devasted that we were unable to help such a loving and sweet cat.”
Lucy a 10 year old long haired tortie has recently been diagnosed with a growing lump in her abdomen.
After a vet check yesterday with Isabelle Vet Ben Howitt it was decided to help save Lucy’s life with an operation which is urgently required to help Lucy who is one of the friendliest cats at the GSPCA.
Anna Paint Senior Animal Care Assistant said “Lucy arrived in the summer and has had a number of ailments treated but in the last week she has become very unwell and yesterday the vet found a large mass in her abdomen.”
In January 2017 Captain Jack arrived at the GSPCA covered in paint with bald patches and sores.
After cleaning him up we discovered he had very sensitive skin and with a unique character so needed a special home.
After nearly 18 months in our care this Summer we found that forever home and recently got an update on how happy he is.
His new owners said “Here are some photos of Captain Jack, as we know he stayed with you for a long time and you might miss him.”
“Looks like he settled well.”
“He is a really lovely cat!”
