The team at the GSPCA were over joyed recently when the longest stay cat who is actually diabetic found her forever home.
Staff and volunteers all loved 'Monkey' a female tortie cat that arrived at the Animal Shelter in May 2015 after her owner could no longer care for her.
Whilst at the GSPCA we discovered she was in fact diabetic and it took many months to get her treatment and diet to the right levels.
Monkey has a loving and wonderful kind nature although she is on a special diet and requires injecting twice a day.

On Saturday afternoon the GSPCA were called out to attend a very serious incident of an injured herring gull at Vazon.
The bird was being cared for by two teenagers who had spotted at a distance two similar aged male teenagers around 14 years throwing stones at the gull.
GSPCA Volunteer Ambulance Warden Michelle Champion attended to rescue the badly injured bird and the team were horrified to find the extent of the injury sustained to the animal.

Today Lily-Ella O’Brien was welcomed at the GSPCA for a behind the scenes tour as a way of thanks for the amazing donation she has given.
At her recent 7th birthday party instead of presents Lilly-Ella asked her friends to make donations instead of presents to help the animals at the GSPCA.
An amazing £200 was raised which Lily-Ella brought up this afternoon and after presenting it to the GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne he then gave her and her grand-mother a guided tour of the GSPCA Animal Shelter in St Andrews.

GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne and volunteer Molly Phillips along with one of her friends ran what was once again a very popular stall raising funds for the many animals in our care at the GSPCA.

Finally the documents are in place to fly Olivia south and we are appealing for donations or for a plane to help transport her to the Canaries in the next few weeks.
Olivia who nearly died in March is the first ever loggerhead sea turtle to visit Guernsey and they are so rare there are only 40,000 breeding females in the wild.
After months of rehabilitation she is now strong enough to endure the journey back to warmer waters and a rescue in Gran Canaria and we are appealing for donations or a plane to help fly her to where she belongs.

On Monday night a very upset member of public arrived with what was believed to be a dead cat that had been found and kindly placed into a box wrapped in a blanket.
The member of public arrived out of hours and was greeted by GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne who was on night duty.
The kind individual was asked to take a seat and for details while the GSPCA Manager checked in the receiving room what was thought to be a dead cat for any identification or microchip.
