Once again the GSPCA held a Cat First Aid Course to help feline owners in Guernsey.
With 300 cats killed on the roads and the Animal Shelter helping over a 1000 cats a year at the GSPCA we are always striving to help pet owners.
Yesterday was the last cat first aid course of 2014 but there is a dog first aid course this Sunday and dates set for further courses next year.
Last night at the GSPCA the second Animal Care and Welfare Course saw another 15 graduates.
The Monday night course that started back in January has taken 8 weeks and covered a wealth of topics in caring for animals and working with them.
Last night Sarah, Sue, Siriol, Carolyn, Marilyn, Michelle, Andrew, Simon, Craig, Lisa, Hannah, Zoe, Mandy and John had their last session which covered grooming and coat care. We also recapped the 8 weeks and had a Q and A followed by a presentation of certificates.
