Monday 16th to Sunday 22nd May 2016 is the fourth GSPCA Cupcake Week here in Guernsey
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "Can you make/bake & sell cupcakes to raise money for the GSPCA?"
"By getting involved you will be helping many injured and abandoned animals like Bonnie the seal pup and Olivia the turtle, Betty the english bull dog and Monkey the diabetic cat, not to mention the many hedgehogs and baby birds."
This Monday to celebrate Liberation Day the GSPCA will be in two locations raising funds and helping with the festivities.
We will be having a stall at the Last Posts wonderful event and volunteers Jo Fox, Ellie Fox, Yvonne Chauvel and Helen Sharman will be helping through the day with a variety of games and entertainment for all ages raising funds for the many animals in our care.
GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne and other volunteers will be manning a stall along the Seafront in St Peter Port between the Crown and Albert Pier.
The GSPCA would like to say a huge thank you to the Guernsey Fire Service on this International Fire Fighter Day.
The GSPCA and the Guernsey Fire and Rescue Service are called on to work very closely in a number of circumstances from large animal rescues to pets trapped in house fires.
When ever called upon day or night the GSPCA are there when to assist our wonderful Fire and Rescue Service where needed to help.
With Spring well underway the GSPCA are asking Islanders to please be mindful of the many fledglings popping up around the Bailiwick.
The GSPCA would like to remind that as a general rule, it is best to leave baby birds alone.
A baby bird has a greater chance of survival in the wild than it has being hand-reared by man as they learn to fend for themselves and how to forage for food by their parents.
Around 2 weeks after hatching young birds in your Bailiwick garden usually leave the nest, just before they learn how to fly.
This month marks the year anniversary from when St Andrews Floral Group started supporting the GSPCA in helping develop the grounds around our wonderful site in the heart of Guernsey.
The work undertaken has included everything from planting natural willow hedges to improving the bio-diversity on site.
The work has a keen focus on conservation and last week saw another amazing charity and conservation group join in and help the flora, fauna and wildlife that live in and around the GSPCA.
With less than two weeks away the GSPCA are busy preparing for the fifth Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday.
With a large cruise liner visiting it is set to be a busy day on the 15th May.
We have had many late bookings arriving for stalls and busking pitches and if you are interested in joining us please do get in touch.
A huge thank you to all that supported our stall Taste of Guernsey Seafront Sunday.
This weekend was the first of the Seafront Sundays and saw over 4000 visitors off a cruise liner which made for a very busy day.
Once again we set up just outside Marks and Spencer with all of our fun games, tombolas and a few goods on sale.
We raised over £800 and our stall proved very busy throughout the day which saw quite some sunshine.
Bonnie the grey seal pup who was rescued on the 16th January has been through a long rehabilitation and we are now in the final stretch. To achieve this we are offering the chance to see her being released to one lucky person.
When rescued she was close to death being extremely thin and having a number of debilitating health conditions.
After 3 months of treatment and care we are now trying to get the final fattening pounds on her to ensure she is ready for the wild.
Finding each animal a loving new home can often prove challenging as the hundreds in need that come through the doors may well have health issues, behaviour problems or even brought through no fault of their own.
From strays to road traffic accidents, lost cats to cats with welfare issues we help over a 1000 cats each year and help between 100 and 200 find a new home.
Some cats have health issues or behaviour problems and can be with us for many months with one cat taking over 2 years before a loving new home was found.
