Submitted by Steve on 11:23, 3rd Mar, 2017 | 0

We are pleased to report that Catrina the cat continues to improve although she is still under the care of the vets.

Sadly as no owner has come forward for Catrina in the 21 days required under Guernsey law.  The job we have now at the GSPCA with the help of Isabelle Vets is to get her well and strong enough to find her a home.

A year since the rescue of Olivia - Did you know today is World Wildlife Day - could you help the wildlife at the Shelter?

Submitted by Steve on 08:57, 3rd Mar, 2017 | 0

World Wildlife Day is an opportunity to celebrate the many beautiful and varied forms of wild fauna and flora and to raise awareness of the multitude of benefits that conservation provides to people.

At the same time, the Day reminds us of the urgent need to step up the fight against wildlife crime, which has wide-ranging economic, environmental and social impacts.  Wildlife has an intrinsic value and contributes to the ecological, genetic, social, economic, scientific, educational, cultural, recreational and aesthetic aspects of sustainable development and human well-being.

Tomorrow is Shrove Tuesday also know to many as Pancake Day and many of us will shopping for our ingredients.  The GSPCA would like to remind everyone to think of the produce that you are going to use and please look to buy Animal Welfare friendly products such as free range eggs.

Although the EU legislation has forced many battery farms to improve their standards, chickens that live as free range birds have a much better quality of life.

We love to hear from animals that have been adopted from the GSPCA.

Yesterday we received this wonderful message from the owners of two rabbits adopted from the GSPCA last year:

We just wanted to send you an update of two bunnies we adopted in October. They have been re named Coco & Fudge (aka Madonna & Roulenska), we love them so very much and think they are very happy with us too! Lexi & Carrie xx

At the GSPCA we have nearly a dozen rabbits in need of homes some of which were at the Shelter when these two were in our care.

Today we received a wonderful letter from a young 8 year old called George Bennett who did something very special for the GSPCA during January.

In the letter George wrote “Dear GSPCA, I gave up sweets and chocolate for the whole of January. I have raised £61 for the animals.”

George who is from St Sampsons had his story recently covered in the Guernsey Press on GP Ted’s page.

The write up tells how George and his brother Edward gave up sweets and chocolate for January to raise funds for the GSPCA and Durrell Wildlife Park.
