Every Autumn the shores of the Bailiwick see grey seal pups being born, and the GSPCA are issuing advice today to help prepare islanders and those walking our shores.
On the weekend we were called out to what was thought to be an injured seal pup, but instead of finding a seal our Ambulance Volunteer Warden Suzy Rose was sadly faced with a dead conger eel that had been washed up.
It was reported locally in the media that we had rescued and were caring for a seal pup at the GSPCA, although this is not true as the conger eel that we were called out to had passed away.
The GSPCA are reminding dog walkers that once again from tomorrow you can take your canine friend on the beaches around Guernsey.
Guernsey has restrictions on a number of beaches during the Summer months which are then lifted during the Winter.
With the restrictions lifted the GSPCA would like to remind pet owners to be mindful of the Wildlife that live and feed along the shorelines.
Here is a breakdown of the restrictions which have been lifted as of the 1st October until the 30th April.
Have you met our lovely Bob yet?
Bob came in as a very grumpy, sick stray cat last year but we quickly found he was only grumpy as he wasn't well.
After a series of tests with help from the vets we found Bob was diabetic and had to go on a special diet and insulin injections twice a day.
A year later and he is much improved and this week his medication was reduced as he is so stable.
On Sunday a very poorly, sick, thin cat was rushed to the vets and has been on a drip for the last 3 days.
The old stray cat was found near Les Banques and has had a number of health issues and sadly no microchip.
The condition the cat was found in meant it would have likely not made a recovery if it hadn't have been taken to the vets when it was found.
The team have called the cat Mercedes who is a black and white female of an age estimated over 10 years.
We have been checking lost and found reports but we have not yet found any matches.

HEADLINING - The fantastic ‘Youthe’
Yesterday (27th September) MEPs, the European Commissioner for Health & Food Safety Vytenis Andriukaitis and key figures from the animal welfare world united at the European Parliament to highlight the important developments to companion welfare in the EU. Organised by the EU Dog & Cat Alliance, key speakers included President of the Intergroup on the Welfare and Conservation of Animals Sirpa Pietikäinen MEP who also hosted the event. The EU Dog & Cat Alliance is calling for an Action Plan to tackle the illegal trade in dogs and cats in the EU.
Today a team of staff from Credit Suisse gave up a day in the office to help out at the GSPCA.
We were pleased to welcome back Credit Suisse staff for the third year who are always a great help to the team at the Shelter.
Earlier today Gareth the Gannet was returned back to the wild after three weeks of rehabilitation at the GSPCA.
The young bird was rescued weak and thin three weeks ago at Port Soif by Animal Collection Officer Geoff George and spent over a week in our intensive care room for large sea birds and sea mammals until he was fit enough to be placed on to one of our rehabilitation pools.
After nearly two weeks on our pools it was decided with his fitness much improved and the fair weather to release him on the north of Guernsey.
