Submitted by Steve on 12:19, 9th Feb, 2017 | 0

This month the GSPCA celebrates 144 years helping animals in Guernsey and we need your help.

We have many essential projects we need to achieve and many animals to care for.

With well over 300 animals in our care at any time and a Shelter where we have been based since 1929, each day raising the much needed funds to care for the animals and maintaining the buildings and grounds is a daily challenge.

Every year we help in excess of 3000 animals through our doors not to mention countless more that every day we help by investigating cruelty and going out 24/7 to rescue and reunite with their owners or free back to the wild.

Of all domestic species we help more cats than any other with over 1000 cats that are stray, hit by vehicles, unwanted, cruelty cases or being brought in as their owners can no longer care for them.
