Submitted by Steve on 17:40, 9th Mar, 2015 | 0

On Saturday our longest stay cat went to his new home after being at the GSPCA since September 2013.

Vinnie arrived at the GSPCA over 18 months ago after being found as a very feisty young feral at a local vinery.

With a very nervous disposition it has been very difficult to find the right owner for Vinnie, but on Saturday after the new owner spending some time getting to know him over the last few weeks we waved him off to his forever home.

Tortoga finds a home with an especially warm heart

Submitted by Steve on 17:58, 7th Mar, 2015 | 0

Tortoga at only a year of age arrived at the GSPCA last July as a stray.

On her vet check however she was found to have a heart murmur.

With a really difficult start in life we have been trying to find Tortoga a new home for over 8 months.

We often struggle to find homes for older animals and those with health issues and we were overjoyed when someone offered Tortoga the loving new home she really deserved.

Helen Sharman Animal Care Assistant said "Tortoga was very shy when she first arrived as a stray at the GSPCA."
