Submitted by Steve on 08:38, 2nd Jun, 2016 | 0

All week during the half term we have held tours around the GSPCA to see the hundreds of animals in our care.

Every Spring we help hundreds of baby birds, hedgehogs and many more wild animals and birds.

The guided tours are set on the dates below at 2pm.

We ask for a minimum donation of £5 per person and £3 per child, or £15 for a family of four.  Later in the year we have some themed tours which are £15 per child.

The tours take around 80 minutes and you get to see in many of the departments and a variety of species. The special tours are a little longer.

Could you help sponsor the hand rear baby hedgehogs (hoglets) or others at the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 21:37, 26th May, 2016 | 0

On the 8th May three young hoglets were found abandoned by their mum in the Vale area.

At only a couple of weeks of age and barely able to walk or see the baby hedgehogs were rescued by one of our Volunteer Wardens and brought into the GSPCA.

When they arrived the GSPCA team worked quickly to warm them up and feed them.

For the last two weeks the team have been looking after them around the clock bottle feeding and caring for them in an intensive care unit.

Each day they grow stronger and we will hopefully soon have them feeding on solids.

Appeal to help improve our wildlife pond - 25 metres of drain pipe or guttering needed & other ways to help

Submitted by Steve on 11:48, 26th May, 2016 | 0

For the next stage of improving the grounds at the Shelter with the help of St Andrews Floral Group we are concentrating on our wildlife pond which has sadly been dropping each year in level due to a number of issues with its natural lining to hold the water which comes from a natural spring under the GSPCA.

We are continually fund raising to improve this beautiful natural feature on site which benefits much of the wildlife that lives on and around site from birds and ducks to frogs and insects and recently we have received a number of donations to enable us to start this work.

Found - Stray Tortoise - Unusual post for the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 17:12, 25th May, 2016 | 0

On the 11th May a very different delivery was made by the post man.

A stray tortoise was fond on L'Ancresse by a Guernsey Post staff member and brought into the GSPCA.

'Skimmer' as staff and volunteers have named the male, adult  tortoise was found on La Garenne.

As with many tortoise Skimmer is quite distinctive.

Each year we help around 30 stray tortoise which are handed into the GSPCA and we find the owners for nearly every one.

Thankfully he is safe and warm at the GSPCA, but we are appealing for the owner to come forward.
