Tomorrow is not only Valentines day but also the GSPCA is celebrating 140 years caring for animals in Guernsey.
Since being founded in 1873 we have helped care for, rescue, rehabilitate, reunite, release and rehome hundreds of thousands of animals and birds from domestic to wildlife, farm to working and our core beliefs of education and promoting animal welfare are as strong now as they were all those years ago.

At nearly 13 years of age and arrived at the Shelter last June we are pleased to announce that Abigail is now in a new home.
Abigail who was one of the older cats at the Shelter and certainly a staff favorite went to her new home on Saturday.
At the GSPCA we see animals of all sizes and ages but unfortunately the older animals are often over looked for the youngsters. At the Shelter we currently have a number of older cats looking for that loving retirement home.

After a call yesterday and a flight this morning the GSPCA received a Razorbill from Alderney which has been affected by crude oil.
Staff at Alderney Animal Welfare have cared for the bird over the last few days and done a wonderful job removing the crude oil from the its feathers after being found on the coast of Alderney. If it hadn't been for their staff this bird would certainly have perished.

Today Hanois our second grey seal pup this winter got his first swim since being rescued in one of the GSPCA Animal Shelter pools.
At only 3 to 4 months of age and having being kept warm during his rehabilitation after being found sick and injured near L'Ancresse 4 weeks ago he wasn't too keen on his first dip.
Geoff George Animal Collection Officer and main seal carer at the Shelter said 'A Bit like Jethou Bumblebee was, Hanois wasn't that keen coming out in the cold and diving in the water but once in he had a good look around.'
