URGENT FISH APPEAL With the stormy weather we need your help for fish for the seal pups at the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 11:59, 19th Mar, 2019 | 0

We are pleased to report that all six seal pups are doing well and improving daily.

In fact when there is a break in the weather we are hoping to release Marty the grey seal pup back in Jersey where he was rescued.

The weather however is playing havoc with the fresh fish we require for the seal pups and despite deliveries in bulk with the sustained bad weather we have had recently our stock is starting to run low.

The GSPCA is currently appealing for fish caught in the last 3 months, ideally herring or mackerel but any whole sea fish would be much appreciated.

It’s Poultry Day could you help a duck, hen or cockerel in need at the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 11:20, 19th Mar, 2019 | 0

Every year the GSPCA helps hundreds of stray, sick and injured poultry and we currently have 9 chickens, quail and quite a few ducks in our care and one resident.

The main resident is a bird call Major a very fine cockerel who arrived one day as a stray and despite asking around the area he either walked someway to the Shelter or could well have been dumped at the GSPCA.

Major is a very friendly cockerel and enjoys following the team around and is quite enjoying the daffodils which he can be seen walking around at this time of year.
