The recent cold weather has challenged many wild animals and earlier this week an egret was rescued after being found exhausted at Fauxquets Valley.

The bird was named 'Frosty' due to all of the cold weather we have had recently and thankfully after a few days of care was strong enough to be released back to the wild yesterday.

Pumpkin who came in extremely thin and with many health problems as a stray is living happily ever after in a loving new home

Submitted by Steve on 15:52, 18th Jan, 2017 | 0

We always love to see the animals that we have helped and rehomed living happily ever after and we recently had an update from a cat called Pumpkin and his owner.

Pumpkin was found as a stray nearly a year ago with all sorts of health problems and extremely thin. After a couple of months of care and treatment he improved and we were able to find him a new and loving home.

Anna Paint GSPCA Senior Animal Care Assistant said “Pumpkin when he first arrived had a lot of health problems and was so so thin.”
