We see all sorts of animals, of all sorts of shapes and sizes.
Last week a pipistrelle bat was found in St Martins and brought into the GSPCA.
After two nights of care and a full health check ‘Coca Cola’ as the female bat was called was able to be returned back to the wild.
Beckie Bailey GSPCA Animal Care Assistant and Bat Volunteer said “The bat that was rescued last week was a female.”
“She had old scares on her wings, that thankfully had all healed but that’s what the white marks were.”
Many visitors over recent years will know the friendly and familiar face of Major the cockerel.
Major turned up at the GSPCA with an elderly hen a few years ago. It was unclear if they were strays, just escaped from a near by farm or home or if they had been dumped at the GSPCA.
Sadly Majors wife was very elderly and wasn’t with us long, but for the last few years Major has strutted his stuff around the GSPCA and made many friends.
Many visitors would find him following them around and he loved many of the staff and volunteers that fed and cared for him.
It's only days away until the GSPCA Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday and the team and those supporting are busy getting ready for the BIG day.
Once again we will have a free kids zone area with chalk drawing, games, space hoppers and more to keep the little ones entertained.
For any children in fancy dress please come along to the GSPCA stall which will also be on the Crown Pier for a free prize for helping make our day to celebrate animals a little bit extra special.
At the GSPCA we are normally appealing for homes for animals, but we are currently appealing for your unwanted soft toys.
The cuddly toys we are appealing for will found good homes as prizes on some of our games to help raise funds for the Shelter such as our upcoming Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday.
If you have any unwanted soft toys then please pop them up to the Shelter or if you need a vehicle to pick up quite a few then please let us know and we can arrange collection.
With so much going on this Sunday in St Peter Port please make sure its in your diary to come down and celebrate animals in Guernsey.
This is our eighth Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday and we are all very busy with preparations here at the GSPCA.
With a large cruise liner called the Crown Princess visiting with a possible 3000+ visitors it is set to be a busy day on the 26th May.
In recognition of “Adopt a Shelter Pet Day” on April 30th, Le Friquet Garden Centre recently sent two members of their team to the GSPCA (Guernsey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) for the day to help out on-site and support their busy operation.
The two members of the garden centre pet department team, Emily Oakes and Isaac Evans, engaged in a number of day to day tasks that the charity carries out for the island including the cleaning of animal housings and walking/grooming resident animals.

Earlier today grey seal pups Sealia and Gully were returned back to their home waters.
Gully was rescued last November and Sealia early January, both were between a quarter to a third of the 40kgs they should have weighed for their age which was under a month old and extremely poorly, emaciated and in such ill health they wouldn’t have survived if they hadn't have been rescued.
They needed around the clock intensive care for many weeks and required tube feeding until they were strong enough to eat on their own.
From this Monday it is our annual GSPCA Cupcake Week and we need your help.
We need you to make, bake and sell cake for the GSPCA and the many animals in our care.
