Submitted by Steve on 15:32, 25th Nov, 2014 | 0

With Autumn and Winter upon us it is always a difficult time for hedgehogs.

Last week the GSPCA Ambulance Collection Officer Geoff George was called out to a hedgehog that was trapped in a drain in Castel.

Lamar as she has been called was rushed to the GSPCA Animal Shelter in St Andrews where she is being cared for and monitored.

Thankfully she had no major injuries, although a little thin the hedgehog team are keeping a watchful eye on her.

Update - The search for Bertie continues

Submitted by Steve on 16:22, 19th Nov, 2014 | 0

Earlier today we were all very excited with a possible report of Bertie out in the day in a garden, but sadly it wasn't him and the dog that it turned out to be is soon to be back with its owner.

Despite staff, volunteers and the wonderful public who are watching out for Bertie we have not had a firm report in the last 36 hours, although there was a possible sighting at Barras Lane in the early hours of yesterday morning.

Most recent sightings have been around the Grandes Rocque area and near St Sampson's High School.

With wet conditions here is some advice from the GSPCA to ensure horses and animals have all they need in Guernsey

The last few Winters have been extremely wet and the GSPCA each year we receive large number of calls from concerned members of public about horses and other animals in wet and muddy fields.

Unfortunately due to the current wet autumn we are having to endure here in Guernsey we want to help prepare those with animals in fields.

Sarah Creasey GSPCA Animal Welfare and education Officer said "Last Winter we had long sustained very wet periods with many animals are being affected."

Submitted by Steve on 10:49, 31st Oct, 2014 | 0

Once again the GSPCA have a Halloween full of black cats.

As seems the trend across animal welfare organisations the black cat certainly isn't the lucky colour of the feline world.

Currently nearly half the stray and unwanted adult cats at the GSPCA are either black or black and white and some have been looking for a new home for over a year.
