The GSPCA ask please Think Fairtrade and Free Range this Pancake Day

Submitted by Steve on 21:59, 27th Feb, 2017 | 0

Tomorrow is Shrove Tuesday also know to many as Pancake Day and many of us will shopping for our ingredients.  The GSPCA would like to remind everyone to think of the produce that you are going to use and please look to buy Animal Welfare friendly products such as free range eggs.

Although the EU legislation has forced many battery farms to improve their standards, chickens that live as free range birds have a much better quality of life.

2 bunnies adopted from the GSPCA loving their new home

Submitted by Steve on 17:55, 21st Feb, 2017 | 0

We love to hear from animals that have been adopted from the GSPCA.

Yesterday we received this wonderful message from the owners of two rabbits adopted from the GSPCA last year:

We just wanted to send you an update of two bunnies we adopted in October. They have been re named Coco & Fudge (aka Madonna & Roulenska), we love them so very much and think they are very happy with us too! Lexi & Carrie xx

At the GSPCA we have nearly a dozen rabbits in need of homes some of which were at the Shelter when these two were in our care.

Submitted by Steve on 18:03, 20th Feb, 2017 | 0

Today we received a wonderful letter from a young 8 year old called George Bennett who did something very special for the GSPCA during January.

In the letter George wrote “Dear GSPCA, I gave up sweets and chocolate for the whole of January. I have raised £61 for the animals.”

George who is from St Sampsons had his story recently covered in the Guernsey Press on GP Ted’s page.

The write up tells how George and his brother Edward gave up sweets and chocolate for January to raise funds for the GSPCA and Durrell Wildlife Park.

Sami the seal pup continues with her hungry appetite - see how you can help her care at the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 12:11, 18th Feb, 2017 | 0

Sami the seal pup continues to improve at the GSPCA.

Sami was rescued on a beach in Jersey just after Christmas starving and unwell.

If she hadn’t have been rescued by the JSPCA and BDMLR volunteers she would have certainly perished.

Nearly two months on from her rescue we are pleased to report she is growing stronger each day and eating at least 20 to 30 mackerel and herring.

The team are extremely pleased with her progress at the GSPCA but she is some months off being strong enough and of a healthy weight to be released back to the wild.

Still no owner found for Catrina the stray cat at the vets who is having her operation today

Submitted by Steve on 11:24, 17th Feb, 2017 | 0

Catrina the cat is still at the vets and as we write this has gone to be operated on.

A huge thank you to all that have donated so far to her care, sadly we still have no idea who she belongs to but she has been improving each day.

We all have our fingers crossed for her and she will have to stay at the vets over the weekend at the very least.
