On New Years Eve the GSPCA were called out to investigate a possible poorly grey seal pup just behind the smelly pond near Rte de Pulias in Vale.

The pup at around a month old should have been double the size and condition so was rescued and joins the 5 other seal pups at the GSPCA.

At the GSPCA we help all types of animals and recently we helped three gerbils find a new home.

Rory, Lorelai & Emily arrived at the GSPCA in September as the owner could no longer care for them.

Earlier this month Rory, Lorelai & Emily found a fabulous new home.

Nicolle Morgan GSPCA Animal Care Assistant who heads up the Small Animal Department said “Rory, Lorelai & Emily arrived at the GSPCA in September.”

Happily Ever After & Adoption Process over Christmas – Dude settles into his new home

Submitted by Steve on 12:28, 23rd Dec, 2021 | 0

We love to hear how animals are getting on after being rehomed from the GSPCA.

Dude who was recently rehomed was originally caught as a stray using one of our cat traps.

He was an unneutered male and kept fathering kittens and pestering female cats in the area he was living in and didn’t have anyone caring for him.

Ali Le Huray GSPCA Animal Care Assistant said “Dude came in last year.”

“He was not neutered when he arrived and kept chasing female cats.”
