On Thursday last week a stray blue budgie was found on Ruette De Saumarez and is now at the GSPCA.

Each year we help dozens of stray pet parakeets, parrots and finches at the GSPCA.

Sadly we rarely find the owners of the smaller birds and we are currently appealing for any information if you know of anyone that has lost a stray budgie.

Yvonne Chauvel Senior Animal Care Assistant said "Last Thursday we helped a stray budgie which we have named 'Blu'."

Yvonne Chauvel Senior Animal Care Assistant said "We've had a busy few months with stray and unwanted reptiles and it often takes months to find them new homes."

The team at the GSPCA are overjoyed to report that on Saturday Bob the diabetic cat was waved off by staff and volunteers to his forever home.

Nearly a year ago Bob was found as a very poorly grumpy stray cat which we never found his original owner.
