Today is World Animal Day and to celebrate not only are the GSPCA in Market Square with a selection of animals in need of a home but we are celebrating one of our cats helping another.

On Wednesday an appeal went out on BBC Guernsey for a cat in need of blood.

Isabelle Vets and the owner were asking for cats between the age of 1 and 8 years of age with blood type A.

The GSPCA heard the call for help and took a selection of the 57 cats in need of homes from the Shelter that could be suitable.

The GSPCA are reminding dog walkers that once again you can take your canine friend on the beaches around Guernsey.

With the restrictions lifted the GSPCA would like to remind pet owners to be mindful of the Wildlife that live and feed along the shorelines.

Here is a breakdown of the restrictions which have been lifted as of the 1st October until the 30th April.

The GSPCA couldn’t carry out saving, rescuing and caring for the thousands of animals that come through the doors every year without the support of the staff and volunteers that work tirelessly every day and night.

To recognise the team for the first time at the GSPCA we have been asking for nominations to recognise the staff and volunteers for their dedication, hard work and outstanding effort.

Nominations were accepted both in house, online and via the post and we received an overwhelming number of wonderful comments for five staff in particular and fifteen volunteers.
