With the wind and weather battering our shores the GSPCA have been kept busy with Wild Animals and Birds being rescued around Guernsey.
We have had 10 Hedgehogs since Saturday and 11 birds from Robins to Gulls all found sick, injured or trapped.
Sadly some of them we were unable to save due to their injuries but one of the lucky birds has been Henry the Heron.
Henry had been taking Shelter in an Islanders pond and garden but unfortunately got caught in netting.
He was rescued and brought into the Shelter very wet and disheveled on Sunday.
Currently at the GSPCA we have two vans that due to gear box problems we are looking to sell for spares or repairs.
The vans which are in reasonable condition apart from their gear boxes have many useful parts on them or for a budding mechanic would make an excellent project.
In fact if someone wanted to repair one for the GSPCA free of charge this would be very much appreciated as that would enable us to have a spare vehicle on site.
Also we had a very large Board Table with 12 Chairs in excellent condition that we would sell to help raise funds for the Shelter.
Mary-Louise Ward would like to let those going on Saturday to the sell out GSPCA Masquerade Ball at St Pierre Park Hotel about having their nails done.
Mary-Louise will do them at a discounted £20 and donate £5 to the GSPCA for each person.
So for a File and Shellac Polish for only £20, of which £5 will donated to GSPCA please contact Mary for appointments, 07781 142123.
On Sunday the 13th October staff from the Homemaker Co-op organised a Car Bot Sale to help raise funds for the GSPCA.
With over 40 sellers and the weather holding off a successful morning was had by all and a bit of fun with some of the staff dressing as Giant Animal Mascots collecting on the day.
In total over £400 was raised and the GSPCA would like to thank the staff at the Homemaker Co-op and all those that supported on the day.
Inky is one very lucky stray Syrian Hamster.
Last Thursday a very surprised gentleman found a very oily Hamster in a catch pit when working on a car.
The Syrian Hamster that has been called Inky has had a good wash and is thankfully doing very well.
Inky is a stray Hamster so if you are missing one from the Bailiffs Cross area then the male, adult rodent could be yours.
Yvonne Chauvel Senior Animal Care Assistant said 'We often get oiled birds in at this time of year but it I can't remember getting an oiled Hamster in at the GSPCA before.'
With less than two months to Christmas we are asking Businesses and Work Places if you could home a counter box for the GSPCA.
We have Season Greetings Robin Pin Badges that need homes this Christmas for a minimum donation of £2 each.
We are thankful to those that already support us with Counter and Collection Boxes that raise funds for the GSPCA.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'It costs over £2000 a day to ensure that we can help the thousands of animals that come through our doors every year.'
