Just over a week ago a stray, female, tortie and white cat of around one year of age was brought into the GSPCA from St Peter Port.
On arrival she wasn't in the best of conditions with a very dirty coat, full of flea's, not acting very well in herself and extremely thin.
With no microchip or identification we are appealing for an owner to come forward, but it does appear that she had been out for some time.
On Sunday night a very old, thin, weak sick cat was found on the Bridge in St Sampson's and brought into the GSPCA.
With no microchip or collar and tag the cat is now under the care of the team at the Animal Shelter.
'Dude' as he has been affectionately named is a black and white short haired cat that has many health problems and is painfully thin.
Earlier today another stray tortoise was brought into the GSPCA.
'Monroe' as staff and volunteers have named the adult tortoise was found on Oatlands Lane.
Monroe has a distinctive white patch on his shell.
Each year we see around 30 stray tortoise handed into the GSPCA and we currently have two strays at the Shelter.
If you think that this may be your lost tortoise then please call the GSPCA on 257261 or pop into the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
On Monday a stray tortoise was brought into the GSPCA.
'Hugo' as staff and volunteers have named the male, adult Herman's tortoise was found in St Saviour's.
Hugo is quite distinctive with an under shot jaw and a deformed front right leg.
Each year we see around 30 stray tortoise handed into the GSPCA and we find the owners for nearly every one.
Thankfully he is safe and warm at the GSPCA, but we are appealing for the owner to come forward.
At the GSPCA we see all sorts of strays and yesterday we were handed a stray conure that was found on Burnt Lane exhausted.
The team at the GSPCA have named the green, black and red bird 'Bert' who is recovering well from his or her ordeal.
He or she is possibly a red or maroon bellied conure and is an adult bird with no ring for identification.
Yvonne Chauvel Senior Animal Care Assistant said "The stray conure was exhausted when rescued and brought to us yesterday, but is recovering well and very chirpy now."
On Wednesday the team at the GSPCA were handed a shelled stray.
'Penny' as staff and volunteers have named the female, adult Herman's tortoise was found on Epinel Road in St. Sampsons.
Each year we see around 30 stray tortoise handed into the GSPCA and we find the owners for nearly every one.
Thankfully she is safe and warm at the GSPCA, but we are appealing for the owner to come forward.
If you think that this may be your lost tortoise then please call the GSPCA on 257261 or pop into the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
This year we have seen 13 stray tortoise and currently we have 2 at the Shelter.
All 11 that came in earlier in the year are back with their owners but Ridley as he's been named above by Shelter staff and Fabian below both came in last week.
Ridley was found in the Camp du Roi area and Fabian was found at L'Ancresse.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'This year we have seen more stray Tortoise than ever before.'
'If anyone has lost any pet we always urge them to report it at the Shelter as we see anywhere between 50 and sometimes over 100 stray animals every month.'
This morning the GSPCA had a call about a stray Snake in the St Peter Port area.
Animal Collection Officer Geoff George before he started his shift had a call to help with a rescue of a Snake.
Geoff made his way to First Tower Lane where he found the Albino Corn Snake.
He quickly secured it and it is now back at the GSPCA Animal Shelter in St Andrews, Guernsey.
Geoff George said 'The Albino Corn Snake I rescued this morning seems very well and is fine to handle.'
Currently the GSPCA have 4 stray tortoise.
Last year we saw a total of nine stray tortoise and this year it looks like even more may be escaping and visiting the GSPCA.
