WEATHER WARNING - With extreme weather please watch for injured wildlife as first oiled bird of 2018 rescued

Submitted by Steve on 09:30, 3rd Jan, 2018 | 0

With the extreme weather the GSPCA are seeing a very rough start for the wildlife of Guernsey.

Last night Rupert an oiled guillemot was rescued at Fort Grey and the team are braced for more as the gale force weather continues.

Often during the winter months with the high winds and stormy weather makes it difficult for wild animals and birds to feed and rest.

Also with the high winds we have to ensure our pets and animals kept outside are safe and secure.

GSPCA Animal Advent Calendar Day 14 - Check out our Amazon Wish List & help animals in need this Christmas

Submitted by Steve on 13:11, 14th Dec, 2017 | 0

Are you in the festive mood and looking to help those in need?

We have lots of great gifts and items on our Amazon Wish List that would help the 500+ animals in our care at the GSPCA.

One item we have been trailing are perspex clear sheets on some of the cats pens with great success.  Each cat pen has an outside section and we have found that hanging the perspex panels on the mesh the cats still have a lovely view and plenty of fresh air while keeping the worst of the weather out.
