Kenya now Scully our longest stay cat is in his new and forever home

Submitted by Steve on 15:11, 30th Jan, 2015 | 0

Kenya arrived at the GSPCA on the 10th July 2013 and up until yesterday was our longest stay cat in need of a home.

Mitzi a black female cat was our last ever longest stay cat in recent years and had been at the GSPCA for nearly 2 years.  She was rehomed this month and we have had some wonderful updates that she is doing very well.

Kenya originally was a very nervous cat when he first arrived at the GSPCA and did not always show himself well to people he didn't know.

Amber living happily ever after

Submitted by Steve on 11:15, 26th Jan, 2015 | 0

At the GSPCA we see animals of all shapes, ages and sizes in need of good homes coming through our doors.

Last October a female tabby cat called Amber arrived at 12 years of age.

She couldn't go straight up for adoption as she needed her bloods taken and ensure she was healthy.

After the results came back thankfully she was fine although her kidney levels would need monitoring as she gets older.

We have a waiting list for new owners looking for kittens, but often struggle finding the older cats a new home.

The GSPCA would like to thank a very kind and brave young lady.

Ailsa Duncan age 10 raised a fantastic £51 through sponsorship after taking a very cold dip in the sea.

Please help us find this Jack Russells owner - Could she belong to your neighbour?

Submitted by Steve on 11:03, 13th Jan, 2015 | 0

Last Wednesday a female Jack Russell was found near the Performing Arts Centre in St Peter Port.

The white and tan, adult, female Jack Russell has no microchip and a purple collar with no details.

At the GSPCA we often see around 200 stray dogs a year, but it is very rare for a dog to be at the Shelter for more than 24 hours before we track the owner.

We have been out in the area trying to find her owner, sadly without success.

We have been sharing her information on social media, speaking to the police and other bodies in the hope of finding where she lives.
