With the cold weather the GSPCA are appealing for help towards electric heat pads for the animals in our care.
We have a variety of species from cats to hedgehogs all in need of items to keep them warm in this cold snap. Although we have enough to manage at present we are appealing for donations so that we can purchase additional heaters in case we have more sick, injured or abandoned animals brought in this winter and what will no doubt be a busy time when the fledgling season starts.
This weekend we welcomed Islanders to our first of the two planned guided tour events. The sun was shining and the three tours were received extremely well.
The visitors were walked around the Shelter being shown the facilities and getting close to the 200 resident animals and birds.
The tour started in the newly refurbished wildlife unit and went to each of the Shelters departments meeting staff and volunteers whilst finding out what we do and our plans for the future.
For only £25 you can purchase a gift certificate that will allow the holder to have a guided tour of the shelter in January as well as a chance to the meet the GSPCA Manager over a hot drink and a cake.
For the first time you will have the chance to see behind the scenes and many of the animals at the shelter. You will also find out about the GSPCA’s plan for 2012 and about the work we have already done.
Unwanted Christmas gifts?
Have you thought of how those unwanted gifts could help the GSPCA or even other charities.
Did your pets get a bumper amount of toys or treats they don’t like? If so the Animal Shelter has many animals that would love them to help enrich their day.
Have you thought that those unwanted gifts, toys, clothes that you may not want or need could go on ebay or sold in a local advert and the pennies donated to the GSPCA or other worthy causes in Guernsey.
On Christmas Day 9 brave souls went to the Havelet bathing pools to take part in the Christmas Day swim with apparently over 200 others.
Those that did the swim were made up of staff and volunteers which were jumping in to raise funds for the Animal Shelter. Thank you to Steve Byrne, Lorna Prince, John Prince, Joanne Fox, Geoff George, Tony Gallie, Annabelle Janes, Lauren Ellis, and Martin Smith for doing the jump. Also thank you to all that supported them by the cheers and the sponsorship.
This evening we had a stall at Oatlands Late Night Shopping selling all sorts of GSPCA goods as well as a lovely selection of Reindeer Antlers and Noses.
We would like to thank all that popped by and supported us, as well as the management at Oatlands for inviting us and of course the staff that volunteered and helped out.
All the money raised will go towards the welfare work that the GSPCA does and if you missed us then we will be outside Instep in St Peter Port tomorrow night with lots more goods including a wide selection of pet stocking fillers.
After a tremendous response to an appeal for bric-a-brac for our Christmas Fayre we held this weekend the GSPCA is now appealing for help to open a Charity Shop for the Animal Shelter.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager and two volunteers have been looking at premises around the island to open a shop to raise funds for the Shelter and the welfare work that we do.
All had a wonderful day at the GSPCA Animal Shelter Christmas Fayre this weekend.
Below is a video featuring some of the pictures from the day and again thank you to one and all that supported and helped. Many of the pictures can be seen on our facebook page (click here to go our facebook page and add us as a friend).
