The GSPCA are always looking to find new and replacing old equipment to help with the many animals at the Shelter. We currently need 2 additional sets of weighing scales. One set is needed for the Cattery and the other is for the Wildlife and Small Animal Unit. It is extremely important that all animals are weighed on entry and during their stay to monitor their condition and health. If you would like to purchase a set of these scales you can do so via our Amazon Wishlist which can be seen by

Nearly a year on since the account was opened the GSPCA Youtube account this morning had our 10,000th view.
With over 160 video clips the GSPCA youtube account has videos from the animals looking for homes to wildlife releases, fund raisers to new arrivals.
The GSPCA use the account to show much of the wonderful work that we do, as well as an educational tool such as the video clip on pet advice during firework periods which can be seen below. You can also see a video clip of our newest edition at the GSPCA Animal Shelter thanks to some very kind people featured below.

The GSPCA would like to announce that we have a new shower for the dogs at the Shelter.
Thanks to a small contribution from the Pedigree Adoption Drive earlier this year and local businesses supporting the Shelter with the supplies, staff at the GSPCA have constructed a lovely new shower where both the dogs in for boarding and those looking for new homes can be pampered and washed.

The GSPCA is currently planning to approach various Pet Shops throughout the Island to see if working together could better the welfare of the animals sold in Pet Shops and help with general concerns from the public. The welfare of animals within Pet Shops has always been a concern at the GSPCA and so the opportunity to work along side a responsible Pet Shops is a fantastic opportunity.

The GSPCA is asking for your help for this very friendly poorly cat.
Roger came into the Shelter as a very elderly sick stray earlier this month. When he arrived he had multiple health problems and needed to be rushed to the vets where he was placed on a drip and under intensive care for some time.
The vets are now recommending he has a number of tests and an operation before the Animal Shelter can find him a good home.

A year since the GSPCA had over 40 hamsters the Shelter has recently received another home full.
Fortunately less than quarter the number of last years incident the GSPCA is asking pet owners to take care when choosing small mammals as pets. Hamsters puberty happens from as young as 4 weeks and with a gestation period of 2 to 3 weeks and a litter size of 1 to 18 babies a home could quickly be overwhelmed.

Only a day after the warning of rubbish and we have yet another injured bird this time a fishing hook injury. The razorbill which we have named Bill survived last night after coming in and is doing well in one of our intensive care units with the hook removed we are hopeful that the wound will heal.
