Submitted by Steve on 13:35, 5th Sep, 2016 | 0

On Wednesday 24th and Thursday 25th August the North Show took place and the GSPCA was there with a stall for the fifth year in a row.

We had a great two days raising funds, talking to those interested in adopting animals, helping volunteer and interested in our services from the GSPCA, although the fun dog show had to be canceled due to the heat and then thunderstorm and we would like to apologise and hope that next year the weather will be kinder to us.

Kitten survives car engine journey - Rambo now Beau is doing extremely well after a near death experience

Submitted by Steve on 13:07, 1st Sep, 2016 | 0

Early last month a young kitten survived a near death experience.

A member of the public when out on a drive heard a strange noise coming from their car and when they stopped they discovered a young kitten who was barely old enough to be away from his mother.

The kitten understandably was extremely scared and bolted. Some time was taken in catching the young animal which survived a very dangerous situation and has been at the GSPCA for almost a month after Sarah Ozanne who was the GSPCA Ambulance Driver went out to rescue the kitten.

Going Wild at the GSPCA - updates on the work at the Animal Shelter thanks to St Andrews Floral Group and others

Submitted by Steve on 12:34, 1st Sep, 2016 | 0

The 'Going Wild at the GSPCA' project was launched by St Andrew’s Floral group in July 2015 and much progress has been made to provide a green framework for the buildings to improve the environment for the animals in care and attract wildlife.

The willow fedge and bird hide dome have grown well and also the wildlife hedge and native tree planting along the roadside.

For several years the pond has been leaking and sometimes only a small puddle remained in the bottom.
