Golden oldie Abigail the cat is now in her new home

Submitted by GSPCA on 16:27, 11th Feb, 2013 | 0

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.

Submitted by GSPCA on 17:46, 7th Feb, 2013 | 0

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.'
