What are the witches doing this Halloween? The unwanted black cat

Submitted by Steve on 10:49, 31st Oct, 2014 | 0

Once again the GSPCA have a Halloween full of black cats.

As seems the trend across animal welfare organisations the black cat certainly isn't the lucky colour of the feline world.

Currently nearly half the stray and unwanted adult cats at the GSPCA are either black or black and white and some have been looking for a new home for over a year.

This week at the GSPCA we have launched a new calendar specifically to help pet owners and those affected by fireworks in Guernsey.

The calendar has been embedded in a number of our web pages and is dedicated to being a central location to check when there are firework displays in Guernsey.

Over the last few years when we have been made aware of firework events we have used our social media to help inform pet owners to help them prepare their animals and pets to reduce their stress and problems they can cause.

Fireworks scare animals - Are your dogs and cats microchipped? Only £4.99 at the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 17:15, 27th Oct, 2014 | 0

Every year the GSPCA are called out and receive stray dogs and cats during the firework period that have either escaped or run off due to being scared by the loud bangs they make.

Sadly less than 45% of the stray dogs and cats are microchipped that are found as strays and brought to the GSPCA, and even less have collars with tags.
